Taylor Swift has achieved another remarkable milestone, claiming the title of the wealthiest female musician worldwide.
This title was formerly held by Rihanna, but Swift has recently been recognized by Forbes with a net worth estimated at $1.6 billion.
Additionally, Swift owns five residences throughout the United States, collectively valued at approximately $125 million.
Rihanna follows closely behind with a net worth of about $1.4 billion, largely due to her Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty brands.
Swift’s Success Story
This announcement comes on the heels of Forbes declaring Swift a billionaire in October 2023, attributing this status to her highly successful Eras Tour and her music catalog.
Beginning in March 2023, her tour has become the highest-grossing globally, amassing over $1 billion in earnings, as noted by Rolling Stone. By December 2023, Swift sold approximately 4.3 million tickets at an average price of $238.
In addition to her tour’s immense success, Swift continues to attract attention with her album releases. Starting in 2021, she has been re-recording her first five albums to reclaim ownership rights after Scooter Braun sold the masters for over $200 million.
Her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, launched at No.1 on the Billboard 200 and maintained its position for 15 weeks following its April release, selling over 2.4 million copies in the first half of 2024 alone.
