What is Taylor Swift’s net worth? How much money has the pop star made?
Having seen her coffers swell on the back of her wildly successful Eras Tour, Swift’s net worth has now reportedly crossed the 10-figure mark.
Pop icon Taylor Swift now boasts a net worth of over $1 billion, according to an estimate by the finance news specialists Bloomberg.
The media outlet says that Swift, whose wealth has been significantly bolstered by the success of her ongoing Eras Tour, is one of the few artists to have hit 10 figures solely on the back of her music and performing.
Bloomberg’s analysis places the 33-year-old American’s net worth at $1.1 billion.
The publication’s calculations took into account the estimated value of Swift’s music catalogue and the five homes that she owns, as well as her income from streaming agreements, music sales, concert ticket receipts and merchandise.
Blloomberg’s estimate has allowed for the impact of income tax, travel and production costs, and commissions paid to managers and agents.
How does Bloomberg’s estimate compare with others?
In June, the finance magazine Forbes estimated that Swift’s net worth stood at $740 million. Meanwhile, Celebrity Net Worth, a website that specializes in valuing the stars’ fortunes, put the 12-time Grammy winner’s wealth at $800 million as of mid-October.
Earning big from Eras
Swift’s Eras Tour, which began in March this year, is set to be the most successful music tour in history. Indeed, Peter Cohen, an associate professor of management practices at Babson College, has even suggested that the singer could earn as much as $4.1 billion from Eras.
The tour is due to resume in November with three shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before moving on to the Brazilian cities Rio de Janeiro and Sau Paulo.
In 2024, Swift will then play dates in 15 countries in Asia, Europe and Oceania, before holding North American concerts in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Toronto
