Taylor Swift has made headlines yet again, this time for securing a spot on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. With a staggering net worth of $1.1 billion, the “Midnights” singer has claimed the 14th spot on the prestigious list.
According to Forbes, Taylor Swift achieved a remarkable feat last year. In October, the 34-year-old became the first musician to reach billionaire status solely through earnings from her music and performances.
Swift’s accomplishment also marks her as the youngest individual to break into the top 14 spots on the list. She joins the ranks of other notable billionaires such as George Lucas at No. 1 ($5.5 billion), Steven Spielberg ($4.8 billion), Michael Jordan ($3.2 billion), Oprah Winfrey ($2.8 billion), and Jay-Z ($2.5 billion).
The year 2023 was particularly profitable for Swift. Forbes reports that her Eras Tour brought in an estimated $190 million after taxes. Additionally, her concert film, The Eras Tour, generated $261.7 million worldwide and earned her Album of the Year at the Grammys, making her the first woman to win the award for three solo albums.
Joining Swift on Forbes’ top 14 billionaires list are other familiar faces such as Kim Kardashian at No. 6 ($1.7 billion), Peter Jackson ($1.5 billion), Rihanna and Tyler Perry (both at $1.4 billion), Tiger Woods ($1.3 billion), and LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Dick Wolf (each with $1.2 billion). Together, these celebrities have a combined net worth of $31 billion as of March 8.
Taylor Swift’s rise to billionaire status is a testament to her immense talent and hard work in the music industry. With numerous accolades and record-breaking achievements under her belt, Swift continues to solidify her status as one of the most successful artists of our time.
