Taylor Swift Outranks Rihanna as World's Richest Female Musician With $1.6 Billion Net Worth

Taylor Swift just crossed another major milestone.

The 34-year-old pop singer has officially topped Forbes‘ 2024 list of wealthiest female musicians, surpassing Rihanna, 36, with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

Swift reportedly became a billionaire last October, thanks in part to her blockbuster Eras Tour and the value of her owned music catalog. In April, the “Shake it Off” singer arrived on the No. 14 slot of Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list with a net worth of $1.1 billion, notably as the first artist to join the list solely from her music and concerts.

On the other hand, Rihanna’s net worth is estimated at $1.4 billion with the success of her Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty brands.

At a glance, the 14-time Grammy winner’s fortune is made up $600 million from royalties and touring, with her owned music catalog valued at an additional $600 million, plus an estimated $125 million in real estate.

Swift’s Eras Tour is set to begin its final leg in Miami, Florida, for a three-night residency beginning on Oct. 18 at the city’s Hard Rock Stadium. From there, the singer will visit New Orleans, Indianapolis, and Toronto before wrapping up in Vancouver on Dec. 8.

Taylor Swift made headlines in September when she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for presidency immediately following the Sept. 11 debate between Harris and former president Donald Trump.
