Taylor Swift has ascended to the top as the world’s wealthiest female musician. Her remarkable financial success is attributed to her sold-out global The Eras Tour and the immense value of her entire music catalogue.
At 34 years old, Swift has become the first artist to achieve billionaire status solely through her music and live performances. According to Forbes, her net worth has reached an impressive $1.6 billion, making her the richest singer globally.
A significant portion of her wealth, $600 million, comes from royalties and touring, while another $600 million is derived from her music catalogue.
Swift is now the second-richest musician in the world, following Jay-Z, who boasts a net worth of approximately $2.5 billion.
On Forbes’ list of the world’s billionaires, she is ranked 2,117, surpassing other prominent female musicians such as Celine Dion ($550 million), Rihanna ($1.4 billion), Beyoncé ($760 million), and Madonna ($850 million).
Previously, Rihanna held the title of the world’s richest female musician with a net worth of $1.7 billion, ranking 2,336 on Forbes’ list.
