American pop star, Taylor Swift has overtaken Rihanna to become the world’s richest female musician, with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.
Taylor’s new net worth follows the record-breaking success of her Eras Tour and the ongoing popularity of her catalog, which continues to captivate fans worldwide.
She claimed the top spot as the richest female musician by surpassing Rihanna, whose net worth was estimated at $1.4 billion.
Taylor reached billionaire status in October 2023, however, Jay-Z still leads with a net worth of $2.5 billion.
Remarkably, the ‘Blank Space’ crooner is the only musician to amass her fortune primarily from recordings and live performances. According to Forbes, her assets include $600 million from royalties, $600 million from her catalog’s value, and $125 million from real estate investments.
Swift’s 10-figure fortune, largely built on her own music creations and performances, marks a unique achievement in the industry, as highlighted by Consequence.
