The artist surpasses Rihanna with a fortune of 1.6 billion dollars, according to Forbes
Taylor Swift has reached the position of the richest singer in the world, surpassing Rihanna, according to Forbes magazine. The publication estimates that Taylor’s wealth has reached $1.6 billion (about R$8.7 billion at current prices), an amount driven by profits from “The Eras Tour” and the growing value of his music catalog, strengthened for strategic re-registration releases.
With this achievement, Taylor also became the first singer to achieve billionaire status solely through her writing and performances. Rihanna, for example, owes her current fortune to products such as cosmetics from her Fenty Beauty brand. The former leader of the ranking currently occupies second place, with an estimated wealth of 1.4 billion dollars (approximately R$ 7.6 billion).
At the top of the ranking of music billionaires is the rapper and businessman Jay-Z, whose wealth is estimated at 2.5 billion dollars (about R$ 13.6 billion), coming from various investments, such as his alcoholic beverage company and shares of large companies such as Uber, as well as his music catalog.
