After Swift, Beyoncé follows, then Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, among others. Although The Fate of Ophelia singer earned billionaire status in 2024, it was her popular Eras Tour that pushed her there. The tour also became the highest-grossing concert tour in history, with revenue of $2.2 billion. In the new list, Forbes called Swift one of the most commercially successful songwriters of all time.
Apart from her tour, her record-breaking wealth also comes from her recent albums, The Life of a Showgirl and The Tortured Poets Department, released in 2025 and 2024, respectively. But what changed the game for her in the industry was her decision to re-record several of her albums in her famous fight to own her songs and music, and to earn royalties from them. In May 2025, she took control of all her masters in an estimated $360 million deal.
