Swift’s billion-dollar fortune is made up of the revenue of her Eras tour, the value of her musical property, and the real estate she owns. Swift’s achievements are even more impressive, because she is a rare artist who has built a billion-dollar fortune mainly thanks to her singing activities.

In fact, since October 2023, financial news newspaper Bloomberg (USA) has determined that Taylor Swift’s assets have reached billions of dollars. Revenue from the Eras tour was an important factor that helped her officially join the group of USD billionaires.

Unlike other stars, Taylor Swift does not go in the direction of expanding her business activities into areas such as fashion or cosmetics. She mainly focuses on performing activities and launching new music products.

According to Bloomberg, after completing performances in the US, Taylor Swift earned $780 million from the Eras tour. This year, Swift continues to tour internationally. Revenue from the Eras tour currently stands at more than $1 billion. This is the highest-grossing tour in music history.

The newspaper Bloomberg identifies that Taylor Swift has gone from being a phenomenal female singer, known since she was a “teen”, to becoming an international music star. Swift builds the image of a talented, friendly, sincere, and lovable female singer.

Behind Taylor Swift’s success is a close team that has worked very effectively over the years. The leader of this group is her biological father – Mr. Scott Swift. Taylor Swift’s biological father has been a strong supporter of his daughter’s career for many years.

Currently, Mr. Scott Swift heads an investment company with connections to about 10 subsidiaries. These subsidiaries specialize in undertaking different tasks related to Taylor Swift’s singing career.

 

Bloomberg believes that Taylor Swift’s wealth will increase dramatically in the future. This prediction is made based on the fact that the female singer is always involved in the composition of the songs she performs. Therefore, Taylor Swift holds the copyright to all of these songs.

Swift is considered a female singer with good songwriting ability and persistent and effective artistic energy. Although Taylor Swift’s musical fortune is currently valued at about 400 million USD, this number promises to increase even more, because the female singer continues to release new music products. .

Bloomberg predicts that Taylor Swift’s music career will eventually create a collection of songs with a copyright value of about… 1 billion USD.
