Taylor Swift is the wealthiest female musician with a net worth of $1.6 billion.
After a whirlwind year filled with success and accolades, Taylor Swift has cemented her status as the richest female musician in the world. Surpassing the likes of Rihanna, Swift now boasts an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes magazine. This achievement comes on the heels of her lucrative Eras Tour, which propelled her into billionaire status in October 2023.
Forbes’ calculations reveal that Swift’s wealth is a result of her sold-out global tour and the immense value of her music catalog. What sets Swift apart is that she is the first musician to attain billionaire status predominantly through her songs and live performances. Her estimated assets include $600 million from touring and royalties, $600 million from her music catalog, and $125 million in real estate holdings.
On the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires, Swift ranks at #2,117, outshining prominent female icons like Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Beyoncé, Madonna, and even Rihanna. Speaking of Rihanna, she closely follows Swift on the list at #2,336, thanks to the success of her Fenty Beauty line and Savage x Fenty lingerie. At one point, Rihanna held the title of the richest female musician when her net worth peaked at $1.7 billion.
Despite her incredible wealth, Swift falls slightly behind music industry giant Jay-Z, who sits atop the list of richest musicians with an estimated value of $2.5 billion. Currently on a break, Swift is preparing for the final leg of her Eras Tour, which is set to resume on October 18 with a show at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
