Taylor Swift, the global pop sensation, has made headlines once again as she debuted on Forbes’ billionaires rankings with a staggering estimated personal fortune of $1.1 billion. The “Love Story” singer ranked at No. 2,545 out of a total of 2,781 people with a net worth of at least 10 figures.
Forbes attributed Swift’s wealth to the immense success of her music, sold-out concerts, and strategic real estate investments. The international leg of her Eras Tour has proven to be particularly lucrative, bringing in a whopping $190 million after taxes so far.
The Eras Tour has generated a staggering gross of $1.04 billion over a 12-month period, with a projected total of $2.165 billion. Swift has been associated with the exclusive “three-comma club” since October and shows no signs of slowing down.
In addition to her music success, Swift also released a record-setting concert film, became Time’s Person of the Year, and added two more Grammy awards to her already impressive collection in the past year.
Swift is not the only new face on the Forbes billionaire rankings, as over 260 others received spots for the first time. Topping the list is Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, with a staggering $233 billion net worth, followed by tech giants Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
Together, the top three billionaires are worth a combined total of $622 billion, showcasing the immense wealth concentrated in the hands of a select few. Taylor Swift’s rise to the billionaires club further solidifies her status as a powerhouse in the music industry and beyond.
