On Tuesday this week, financial magazine Forbes (USA) released a list of USD billionaires globally in 2024. With a fortune of 1.1 billion USD, female singer Taylor Swift (34 years old) for the first time appears in the list of 14 billionaire USD stars active in the fields of culture and sports in the world.
After 17 years working in the music industry and having a successful singing career, Taylor Swift has reached the level of an international music star, building a “billion dollar” fortune.

Swift’s “billion dollar” fortune is made up of the revenue of the Eras tour, the value of her musical assets as well as the real estate she owns. Swift’s achievements are even more impressive, because she is a rare artist who has built a “billion dollar” fortune mainly thanks to her singing activities.
In fact, since October 2023, financial news newspaper Bloomberg (USA) has determined that Taylor Swift’s assets have reached the “billion dollar” mark. Revenue from the Eras tour is an important factor that helped her officially join the group of USD billionaires.
Unlike other stars, Taylor Swift does not expand her business into areas such as fashion or cosmetics. She mainly focuses on performing activities and launching new music products.
According to Bloomberg, after completing performances in the US, Taylor Swift earned $780 million from the Eras tour. This year, Swift continues to tour internationally. Revenue from the Eras tour currently stands at more than 1 billion USD. This is the highest-grossing tour in music history.

In recent years, Taylor Swift has also actively recorded to re-release albums she has released. The activity of re-recording old albums with new features is also being warmly received by Swift’s fans.
Almost every major income that appears in Taylor Swift’s fortune comes from her singing career. The calculations provided by Bloomberg and Forbes are based on Taylor Swift’s clearly identifiable assets and income. These calculations include the value of 5 real estate properties that Taylor Swift owns. The total estimated value of these projects is about 110 million USD.
