Taylor Swift has officially become the richest female musician in the world, surpassing Rihanna with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion. According to Forbes, Swift’s financial success was updated following the massive triumph of her “Eras Tour” and her overwhelming popularity.
Swift now leads the rankings of the wealthiest women in the music industry, leaving Rihanna, whose net worth stands at $1.4 billion, in second place. In addition to being the richest female musician, Swift ranks second among all musicians globally, trailing only Jay-Z, whose fortune is estimated at $2.5 billion.
Unlike many other wealthy musicians, the bulk of Taylor Swift’s fortune stems primarily from her music career. When she first became a billionaire in October 2023, it was emphasized that she is the only musician to reach this milestone largely due to album sales and live performances, rather than business ventures.
Over the past year, Forbes calculated that out of her $1.6 billion, approximately $600 million comes from concert revenue and royalties, another $600 million from the value of her music albums, and $125 million from real estate investments.
