Swift, 35, has seen a personal windfall equal to that figure in just the past 19 months alone. Her net worth currently stands at US$1.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, up about US$300 million from October 2023, when she was in the middle of her blockbuster Eras Tour that made her a billionaire for the first time. The updated estimate doesn’t reflect her recent catalogue acquisition.
Taylor Swift has gained control of all of her life’s work, in what she called her “greatest dream come true”. A growing fortune may have helped her realise that years-long goal.
The pop superstar announced on Friday that she had acquired the rights to her first six albums, a culmination of a lengthy battle to own her entire catalogue. She didn’t disclose the terms, but the collection was most recently bought by Shamrock Capital in 2020 for about US$300 million ($386 million).
