Taylor Swift Secures Second Spot on Forbes' List of Wealthiest Women in the Music Business
Taylor Swift Ranks as Forbes' Second Richest Female Musician, Falling Short of Rihanna's Billion-Dollar Empire.
Rihanna Tops Forbes' List of Richest Female Musicians, Surpassing Taylor Swift's Net Worth Despite Swift's Lucrative Year
Taylor Swift is poised to rake in a substantial amount of money this year, courtesy of her highly anticipated Eras tour, the release of "Midnights," and her re-recorded albums "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)." However, despite boasting a net worth exceeding $700 million, the 33-year-old music sensation falls short of claiming the title of the richest female musician on Forbes' 2023 list.
That prestigious distinction belongs to Rihanna, who, despite not having released a new album since 2016, has ascended to billionaire status through her successful ventures, Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty.
Taylor Swift is currently experiencing one of the most significant years of her musical career, with her ongoing Eras tour, the release of "Midnights," and the forthcoming unveilings of her re-recorded albums, including the much-anticipated "1989 (Taylor's Version)." Undoubtedly, Swift has amassed a considerable fortune from these endeavors. However, it is important to note that she does not hold the title of the richest female musician on Forbes' 2023 list.
That accolade belongs to Rihanna, whose net worth stands at $1.4 billion, despite her music hiatus. Forbes highlights that the bulk of Rihanna's fortune stems from her ownership stakes in Fenty Beauty, in collaboration with LVMH.
Taylor Swift's estimated net worth currently rests at $740 million, with her ongoing tour and the release of "Midnights" contributing a substantial $170 million boost. It is expected that Swift's wealth will continue to grow as she performs more tour dates, potentially leading to a higher position on Forbes' 2024 list.
However, Forbes' list of the richest "self-made" women is topped by Oprah Winfrey, with a staggering net worth of $2.5 billion. Following Oprah, Rihanna secures the second spot, with Kim Kardashian ranked third, possessing an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion, primarily due to the success of her shape wear line, Skims.
