Taylor Swift Named Richest Female Musician at $1.6 Billion
Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician in the world with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, surpassing Rihanna. She is second overall among musicians, trailing only Jay-Z, who has a net worth of $2.5 billion. While Rihanna once held a peak net worth of $1.77 billion, Swift is on track to claim the title of the “richest female musician of all time.”
Forbes attributed Swift’s fortune largely to the success of her Eras Tour, which brought in $600 million in tour revenue and royalties. Her music catalog is valued at another $600 million, while real estate investments total $125 million. Swift also earned $100 million from Spotify streaming in 2023, driven by albums like *Midnights* and *1989 (Taylor’s Version)*. Unlike many artists, Swift’s wealth comes almost entirely from her music career, making her the first musician to achieve a 10-figure net worth without relying on business ventures.
Swift became a billionaire in October 2023 and is finishing her Eras Tour in late 2023. She recently endorsed Kamala Harris for president, which prompted a harsh response from Donald Trump, who had previously spread false claims that she supported him.
