The performer has overtaken Rihanna who now occupies second place with 1.4 billion dollars. The American magazine specifies that Taylor Swift earned 600 million dollars last year “thanks to royalties linked to his album sales” et “to the profits generated by his Eras Tour“. Another $600 million is the estimated value of her music catalog that she owns. Finally, the artist owns $125 million in real estate.
Behind Jay-Z
However, Taylor Swift is not the richest music star on the planet. This title goes to one of his male colleagues: Jay-Z. The rapper and producer’s fortune is estimated at $2.5 billion, “fueled by his entertainment company Roc Nation“, “its real estate investments” et “its participations in spirits brands such as Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Usse cognac“. The artist – in the broad sense – the richest in the world is filmmaker Steven Spielberg, with 53 billion dollars.
Impressive amounts which still remain very far from those of the richest personalities on the planet. Taylor Swift is in 2120th position for example, Jay-Z is in 1383rd position. Very far behind Elon Musk (258.8 billion dollars), Larry Ellison (206.7 billion), Mark Zuckerberg (202.2 billion) and Jeff Bezos (199.1 billion). The first Frenchman, Bernard Arnault, is in fifth position (180.5 billion).
