Taylor Swift's journey in show business is a testament to her remarkable success. She recently reacquired the master rights to her first six albums, a significant move that underscores her control over her creative work.
Swift's financial success is undeniable. Forbes estimates her net worth at a staggering USD 1.6 billion. This wealth stems from various sources, including music sales, streaming, and lucrative concert tours.
Billboard reports that Swift has sold an estimated 114 million album units worldwide. This includes 54 million physical album sales and 70.7 billion streams. Her albums have topped the US Billboard 200 chart 14 times, with seven albums selling over 1 million copies in their first week.
The Eras Tour stands out as her most successful venture, generating a record-breaking USD 2.07 billion. This achievement solidifies her position as the highest-grossing touring musician in history.
Furthermore, Swift benefits from songwriting royalties, having written nearly all of her songs. In February 2020, she partnered with Universal Music Publishing Group to manage the copyrights of her works, further securing her financial future.
