Taylor Swift has officially been named the richest female musician by Forbes, with her net worth now estimated at an impressive $1.6 billion USD. This update reflects the incredible success of her Eras Tour and the growing value of her music catalog, following her billionaire status achieved in October 2023.
According to Forbes, Swift’s earnings include nearly $600 million USD from royalties and touring, another $600 million USD from her extensive music catalog, and approximately $125 million USD in real estate investments. With this new valuation, she surpasses Rihanna, who previously held the title with a net worth of $1.4 billion USD, and now ranks as the second richest musician overall, trailing only behind JAY-Z’s $2.5 billion USD fortune.
Earlier this April, Swift ranked No. 14 on Forbes’ list of richest celebrity billionaires, boasting a net worth of $1.1 billion USD. Notably, her Eras Tour made history as the first-ever billion-dollar grossing tour, achieving this milestone through 60 shows over eight months. She is projected to earn an additional billion dollars from the tour’s scheduled 2024 dates.
