Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician in the world

Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician in the world. The voice of “Cruel summer” has become one with a fortune estimated at 1.6 billion dollars.

Last April, the American singer-songwriter officially entered Forbes’ annual list of billionaires for the year 2024 for the first time. The pop star had earned a place in the list drawn up by the American business magazine thanks to assets worth 1. 1 billion dollars. Now, Taylor Swift’s net worth had a rise of around 500 million dollars thanks to his “Eras tour” and the growing popularity of his catalog.

According to Forbes, Swift now tops the list of richest female musicians, surpassing Rihanna who reportedly has a net worth of $1.4 billion. However, according to the publication, Rihanna retains the title of “Richest Female Musician of All Time,” as her net worth once had a peak valuation of $1.77 billion. The “Love Story” singer is also ranked No. 2 on the overall list of the richest musicians, with Jay-Z taking the top spot thanks to his estimated worth of $2.5 billion.

Forbes estimates that Swift has earned $600 million from her royalties and tours, and another $600 million from her catalog from 2019 onwards, which includes new albums and, importantly, new versions of old records she has re-recorded singer-songwriter made in an attempt to regain control of the original masters. It’s also claimed that the pop star earned $125 million in real estate and another $100 million from Spotify streaming royalties last year alone, thanks to 2022’s “Midnights” and 2023’s “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
