Swift has surpassed Rihanna to become the world’s richest female musician, with a net worth estimated to be a whopping $1.6 billion.

Swift’s ascent was confirmed on Saturday, October 5th, with forbes update her net worth to reflect her growing fortune in the wake of the historic “Eras Tour”and the continued popularity of her catalog. Now, she’s not only topping the list of richest female musicians — surpassing Rhianna’s $1.4 billion net worth — 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.

But as was pointed out when Swift first became a billionaire in 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, Forbes now 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.

Swift’s name has been a fixture of “wealthiest musician” lists for some time, but her growth in recent years has been impressive. In 2020, she was valued at $365 million, meaning she’s brought in somewhere north of $1.2 billion in the past four years alone.

I'm not so suprised because she has been so constant in the entertainment sphere. Don't forget that she is the only musical artist to have achieved highest record sales and concerts. So, we should expect this.

Not really understanding her appeal. Sure she is pretty and her writing skills are good but...to me she is just a bettter than average kareoke singer.

I honestly think she just sings what she's told. This is the Personnel section under the Wikipedia entry for her last album The Tortured Poets Department.

I don’t like her music either, but she does have a huge fan base. She’s bigger than Adele and Beyonce.

I used to think it was Beyoncé until she burst right up on stage. But I think Beyoncé still have the highest musical awards and nomination too but that's most likely not going to be for long.
