Taylor Swift Surpasses Rihanna As The World’s Richest Female Musician w/ $1.6 Billion Net Worth

Congratulations are in order for pop star Taylor Swift!

According to a recent report from Forbes, Taylor Swift has surpassed Rihanna as the world’s richest female musician. It’s also reported that the “Shake It Off” singer snagged the title previously held by Rihanna just a year after obtaining billionaire status from her music and live shows.

Taylor Swift, 34, is now worth a reported $1.6 billion thanks to her Eras Tour, which concludes in December. Additionally, it’s noted that Taylor made history as the first musician to become a billionaire mainly off of music sales.

Rihanna, 36, now lands at number two on the list with a net worth of $1.4 billion, becoming the second wealthiest female artist. She previously held a net worth of $1.7 billion due to the success of her cosmetic line Fenty Beauty and lingerie brand Savage x Fenty.
