Taylor Swift outshines Rihanna as richest female artist worldwide

Taylor Swift has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the world’s richest female musician with a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.

This impressive accomplishment is largely due to her highly successful The Eras Tour and the tremendous value of her music catalog.

At 34, Swift has made history as the first artist to reach billionaire status through music and live performances alone.

Her wealth, bolstered by $600 million from touring and royalties and another $600 million from her music catalog, places her as the second-richest musician globally, just behind Jay-Z, who has a net worth of $2.5 billion.

Swift’s newfound financial success has also earned her a spot at number 2,117 on Forbes’ global billionaires list, surpassing other famous female musicians, including Celine Dion ($550 million), Beyoncé ($760 million), Madonna ($850 million), and Rihanna ($1.4 billion).

Rihanna, previously the richest female musician with a net worth of $1.7 billion, is now ranked 2,336 on the list.
