Currently on a European tour, American pop music sensation Taylor Swift, known as 泰勒·斯威夫特 in Chinese, has achieved worldwide popularity and amassed a staggering fortune.
Following her official entry into Forbes’ billionaire list in April this year, as of May 31, Forbes released the latest numbers showing that her net worth has exceeded $13 billion, an increase of $200 million compared to October last year.
At 34, Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” launched last year and spanning five continents, has seen sold-out shows in every city. This ongoing tour, set to continue until the end of this year, has consistently broken records. Just from the 53 concerts held in the U.S. last year, her net worth reached $11 billion.
According to Forbes, Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” has not only become the highest-grossing concert of all time but her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” has grossed over $250 million, making it the highest-grossing concert film in history.
Forbes revealed in October last year that Taylor Swift’s assets amounted to a whopping $11 billion. The latest data released on May 31 this year shows that her net worth has grown to $13 billion, meaning her wealth has increased by $2 billion in just seven months, a remarkable surge.
It is worth noting that out of Taylor Swift’s net worth of over $13 billion, approximately $600 million comes from royalties and tour earnings, another $600 million from music copyright valuation, and the remaining $125 million from real estate. This record makes Taylor Swift the first artist to make it onto the list based almost solely on earnings from her entertainment career, without relying heavily on investments and secondary businesses.
