Taylor Swift has achieved yet another milestone, now recognized as the richest female musician globally.
Previously, this title belonged to Rihanna, but Swift’s recent assessment by Forbes places her net worth at approximately $1.6 billion.
Forbes attributes this success, especially at the age of 34, to her extensive music career and successful live performances. A significant portion of her wealth, around $600 million, stems from royalties and her tours, with her diverse music catalog also valued at around $600 million.

Additionally, Swift owns five residences across the United States, collectively valued at approximately $125 million.
Trailing closely behind Swift is Rihanna, with an estimated worth of $1.4 billion, primarily from her Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty brands.
Swift’s empire continues to expand
This recognition follows Forbes’ announcement in October 2023 that Swift became a billionaire, largely attributed to her successful Eras Tour and music catalog.
The Eras Tour launched in March 2023, generating over $1 billion in sales, making it the highest-earning tour globally. As reported by Rolling Stone in December 2023, Swift sold approximately 4.3 million tickets at an average ticket price of $238.
Alongside her ongoing tour success, Swift also garners attention with her album releases. She began re-recording her original five albums in 2021, aiming to reclaim ownership after Scooter Braun sold the original masters for over $200 million.
Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, achieved the top position on the Billboard 200, holding this spot for 15 weeks following its release in April, with over 2.4 million copies sold in just the first half of 2024.
