As the year comes to a close, Taylor Swift has reached yet another historic milestone. According to Forbes’ latest rankings, the global superstar has officially become the world’s richest female musician.
Forbes estimates Swift’s net worth at $1.6 billion, placing her ahead of Barbadian singer Rihanna, whose fortune is valued at approximately $1.4 billion, largely driven by the success of her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty brands.
Unlike many artists whose wealth is fueled by fashion or beauty empires, Swift’s fortune has been built primarily through music. The 14-time Grammy winner generates the majority of her income from touring, album sales, licensing deals, and streaming royalties.
A significant driver behind her financial rise has been the record-breaking Eras Tour. Widely regarded as one of the most successful concert tours in music history, the global trek shattered multiple industry records and dramatically boosted Swift’s earnings.
Swift’s music catalog alone is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, with ongoing royalties from streaming platforms, licensing agreements, and album sales continuing to strengthen her financial standing. One of her most impactful business decisions — re-recording her early albums — allowed her to regain ownership of her masters, adding long-term value to her catalog and reinforcing her financial independence.
Beyond music, Swift’s real estate portfolio also plays a substantial role in her wealth. Her collection of homes and property investments accounts for a significant portion of her estimated $1.6 billion fortune.
This latest achievement further cements Swift’s status as one of the most influential and powerful artists in the global music industry. The milestone follows the recent release of her Disney+ docuseries, The End of an Era, which premiered on December 12, 2025.
