Taylor Swift has officially surpassed Rihanna to become the world’s richest female musician, with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

This new ranking comes after the extraordinary success of Swift’s Eras Tour, which grossed over $2 billion. Her wealth has largely been driven by her music career, including album sales, streaming royalties, and tour earnings, making her the only musician who has achieved a 10-figure fortune through these channels alone.

In addition to her tour, Swift has earned millions from her music catalogue, valued at $600 million, as well as royalties and real estate investments. Her 2023 re-release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and 2022 album “Midnights” have also contributed to her rising fortune, particularly through streaming platforms like Spotify.

Rihanna, with a net worth of $1.4 billion, previously held the top spot, with much of her wealth coming from her Fenty Beauty cosmetics brand and Savage X Fenty lingerie line. Despite this, Rihanna remains an influential figure in both music and business.

While Swift now ranks second only to Jay-Z – who is worth $2.5 billion – among the wealthiest musicians overall, her continued financial growth suggests she may soon challenge for even greater titles.
