Yesterday, October 5, Forbes reported this news. However, many people could already see this from the incredible and groundbreaking success of Eras Tour and the worldwide demand and popularity of Taylor's songs. And on the combined list of men and women, only American pop star Jay-Z is ahead of Taylor. Jay-Z's net worth, however, is much higher; 2.5 billion.

But Taylor Swift's case is different. Because he got to the top of this list by doing just one thing. And that is singing. The young pop star joined the billionaire club in October 2023. And he is the only musician in history who has earned this 10-figure fortune from album sales and live shows alone. In others, their source of wealth is multifaceted.

The way Taylor's net worth has swelled since 2020 is also surprising. That year it was $365 million. So it is understood that he earned 1.2 billion dollars in just 4 years. Rihanna, however, is still the richest female artist of all time, having once owned $1.7 billion. But everyone says Taylor Swift doesn't have to gain much momentum to take that spot. Because even though the Eras tour is over, Taylor Swift's exponentially growing popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
