According to Forbes, the richest woman in the music industry at present is American singer and multiple award winner Taylor Swift. It is reported that her total fortune has reached $1.6 billion.
Swift earned the majority of her wealth directly through music. In particular, she received around $600 million from various tours and fees, while the remaining large portion comes from the value of her music catalog.
Taylor Swift took this title from Rihanna. At one point, the Barbadian star’s fortune was estimated at $1.77 billion, but today her wealth is said to have dropped to around $1.47 billion.
Thus, Swift has not only become one of the most famous performers on the modern music scene, but also secured the status of the leading female artist in the music industry from a financial perspective.
