Taylor Swift\u00a0has surpassed\u00a0Rhianna\u00a0to become the world\u2019s richest female musician, with a net worth estimated to be a whopping $1.6 billion.<\/p>\n
Swift\u2019s ascent was confirmed on Saturday, October 5th, with\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0updating her net worth to reflect her growing fortune in the wake of the historic\u00a0\u201cEras Tour\u201d\u00a0and the continued popularity of her catalog. Now, she\u2019s not only topping the list of richest female musicians \u2014 surpassing Rhianna\u2019s $1.4 billion net worth \u2014 but is ranked No. 2 on the list of richest musicians, period. Only Jay-Z is valued more, with a $2.5 billion net worth.<\/p>\n But as was pointed out when Swift first\u00a0became a billionaire\u00a0in October 2023, she is the only musician in history to earn a 10-digit net worth primarily from her recordings and live performances (as opposed to other business ventures). A year after she reached that milestone,\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0now estimates that her assets include $600 million from royalties and touring, another $600 million from the value of her catalog, and $125 million from real estate.<\/p>\n Swift\u2019s name has been a fixture of \u201cwealthiest musician\u201d lists for some time, but her growth in recent years has been impressive. In 2020, she was valued at $365 million, meaning she\u2019s brought in somewhere north of $1.2 billion in the past four years alone.<\/p>\n Despite all this, Rhianna does get to keep the title of \u201cRichest Female Musician of All Time,\u201d since her net worth once had a peak evaluation of $1.77 billion. However, Swift might claim that title too after she closes her \u201cEras Tour\u201d later this year with its final dates in the US and Canada\u00a0(get tickets).<\/p>\n Swift recently\u00a0endorsed\u00a0Kamala Harris for president much to chagrin of Donald Trump, who predicted the singer\u00a0would \u201cpay a price\u201d\u00a0as a result. It appears we can add this to the long list of Trump\u2019s predictions that turned out to be woefully inaccurate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Swift\u00a0has surpassed\u00a0Rhianna\u00a0to become the world\u2019s richest female musician, with a net worth estimated to be a whopping $1.6 billion.
