Taylor Swift has officially surpassed Rihanna to become the world’s richest female musician, with a staggering net worth of $1.6 billion. Forbes attributes this significant financial leap largely to her highly successful Eras tour, which brought in massive revenue through ticket sales and merchandise. In addition to her music career, Swift’s $125 million real estate portfolio further bolsters her wealth.
Rihanna, who was previously the wealthiest female musician with a net worth of $1.7 billion, now holds second place at $1.4 billion. Much of her fortune comes from her cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty, and her lingerie line, Savage X Fenty. Despite her slight drop in the rankings, Rihanna remains a significant player in the business and entertainment worlds.
Other notable figures in the ranking include Beyoncé, who sits well below Swift and Rihanna with a net worth of $760 million. However, her husband, Jay-Z, leads the overall list of musicians with a remarkable $2.5 billion net worth, ensuring their combined financial power remains strong.
With Swift still actively touring and fans speculating more albums in the future, her fortune is expected to keep growing. This latest achievement underscores her dominance in both the music industry and business, and she doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
