Taylor Swift has already been a billionaire for some time. But it was never going to be good enough for her. 

While she would have known before most people, news broke this Thursday that puts her at the top of her field as the wealthiest female artist in history. 

Swift, who’s set to marry Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, is now worth $2 billion. 

The Forbes Iconoclast 50 list was revealed on June 4.

The list “recognizes leaders in finance, business, technology, media, entertainment and philanthropy that are changing the game in real time, disrupting their industries and challenging the status quo.”

In it, Swift is described as one of the “most commercially successful songwriters of all time.”

According to Forbes, Swift:

“Changed the music industry in 2020 when she leveraged her star power to rerecord most of her discography. As a result, her royalties flowed straight into her pocket, and she inspired fellow artists to take ownership of their music.”

Taylor Swift Trails Only Jay-Z

Taylor Swift became a billionaire in 2024, courtesy of her wildly successful Eras Tour. She hit 51 countries across five continents, performing in 145 shows.

Eras set a record as the highest-grossing concert tour i history, raking in $2.2 billion. 

Last May, Swift bought her original masters for a reported  $360 million. 

She is now the sole owner of her entire music catalog. 

“All the times I was this close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away,” she wrote on her website after the purchase. “That’s all in the past now. I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made now belongs to me.”

Her net worth doubled to $2 billion as of March this year.

She’s now behind Jay-Z on the list of richest musicians, with the rapper worth a reported $2.8 billion. 

Forbes also ranks her at No. 2073 overall.
