Wait, HOW Much Is Taylor Swift Worth?!

May 6 2016 - 8:40am

Whether you love her or not, there's no denying that since the release of her album 1989, Taylor Swift [1] has been at the height of her career — and with her worldwide tour, her ridiculously long list of famous friends [2], and her notorious relationship with her fans, it doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon. She's broken all sorts of music records this year [3], but just how much is she making off her success? Spoiler alert: it's a sh*t ton. According to Forbes [4], Swift is worth over $200 million, with estimates upward of $240 million [5].

A May 2016 report from Billboard calculated [6] that with the combination of her album sales (sans the help of Spotify), streaming, publishing, and touring, she raked in about $73.5 million in 2015. What's crazier is that's not even counting other income, coming from things like endorsements. In late 2015, it was estimated that in total she'd make about $365 million by the end of this past year [7].

So yeah, we'd say she's doing pretty well for herself. Keep it up, Tay!
