Taylor Swift hit the billion-dollar mark in October, and now she has carved a space on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list, proudly securing the No. 14 spot. She surpassed icons like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, clocking in at $1.1 billion.
Swift has become the first musician to hit this milestone based, “solely on songwriting and performing,” according to Forbes.
The 34-year-old songstress is rewriting the playbook on wealth accumulation. Her Eras Tour grossed over $1 billion last year, making it the first tour ever to cross the 10-digit threshold, according to Pollstar.
But it’s not just about the money. Swift’s influence transcends finance. She was named Time Magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year.
Plus, with her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department, Swift’s empire is just beginning.
