Taylor Swift has officially surpassed Rihanna to become the world’s wealthiest female musician, with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.
This milestone comes following the massive success of her record-breaking Eras Tour and the continued popularity of her music catalog, which has kept fans captivated globally.
Swift overtook Rihanna, whose net worth is estimated at $1.4 billion. Meanwhile, Jay-Z remains ahead of her with a $2.5 billion fortune.
Remarkably, Swift’s wealth has been largely built through her music and live performances. According to Forbes, her assets include $600 million from royalties, an additional $600 million from the value of her catalog, and $125 million from her real estate holdings.
In October 2023, Swift officially became a billionaire, making her the only musician to achieve such wealth primarily from her music, as noted by Consequence.
