According to Forbes, Taylor Swift's net worth is now estimated to be $1.1 million. This is in large thanks to her very successful "The Eras" Tour in the United States and parts of South America.

Based on projections, after Taylor Swift ends all of her "The Eras" Tour in 2024, she will have reached the $2 billion concert tour gross threshold, making her the most successful touring artist in history.

Swift, the business mogul she is, had her tour recorded into a documentary film, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour." The concert doc is now the highest-selling concert film in music history, amassing $250.1 million in current box-office score worldwide, IMDB reports.

Aside from this, Taylor Swift's "1989 (Taylor's Version)" earned her her biggest-selling album debut with a staggering 1.653 million units, 1.353 million of which are pure physical album sales.

Forbes wrote that Swift doesn't need other lucrative businesses like cosmetics and other business ventures to solidify herself at the top.

Kanye West Net Worth 2024

Forbes revealed that Kanye West's actual net worth is now at $400 million. This was a huge drop from his previous billionaire ranking. Much of his net worth can be attributed to his huge partnership with Adidas, which was then severed after his controversial anti-semitic statements in the media.

A lot of his brand partnerships were also cut, resulting in his removal from the billionaire ranking.

Many on social media pointed out that for someone who claimed that he made someone famous (Kanye West), Taylor Swift could very well buy him and still have 800 million for herself, which is twice his current worth.
