Taylor Swift has made a name for herself as a 12-time Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter. Her relatable lyrics about teenage heartbreak and finding love again built her millions of fans who have stood by her side since her self-titled debut album was released in 2006.

Nearly 17 years later and with over 200 million albums sold, Taylor is still a force to be reckoned with, and the release of her 10th studio album, Midnights, in 2022 proved just how much her star power continues to shine. Throughout her almost two-decade-long career, Taylor has accomplished so many amazing feats, from breaking music records to starring in films — and earned a pretty penny while doing it. If you're wondering how much money the "Lavender Haze" singer has earned throughout her career, read ahead for everything we know about Taylor Swift's net worth.

If there was ever any doubt, Taylor is clearly in her boss-babe era. On Thursday, June 1, Forbes revealed that the Midnights singer landed at No. 34 on the brand's America's Richest Self-Made Women list, making her the second richest self-made woman in music behind Rihanna. A large portion of her $$$ has come in the wake of her Midnights album. She made history when ten songs from the album claimed the top ten spots on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs list upon its release in October 2022, making her the first artist to reach this record.

The singer also released merch on her website with everything from a mug, duffle bags, sweatpants, a pop socket, cassette tapes, CDs, and vinyl records celebrating the album's release.

With the excitement over her new album at an all-time high, fans of the singer flocked to Ticketmaster with force when she announced her upcoming tour dates the following month. An estimated 14 million fans attempted to buy tickets to Taylor's Eras Tour, which sold out so quickly, it sparked outrage among fans who couldn't access tickets and even led the Department of Justice to open an investigation into Ticketmaster. According to Forbes, the North American leg of The Eras Tour could gross over $700 million dollars. And then when you factor in the international shows, the number gets even higher.

Taylor makes around $13.6 million per show. With The Eras Tour lasting in August 2024, Swift could be a billionaire at the end of it, according to Forbes.

Along with the success of her album sales and tours, Tay made history as the only female musician to appear on the Forbes list of highest-earning entertainers in 2022. According to the outlet, 70% of the $92 million she earned in 2022 came from her back catalog (re-recordings of her previous albums), including streaming and album sales. No stranger to the top-earning entertainer list, Taylor has made the cut six times, and she even topped it as No. 1 in 2019.

In February 2021, Tay announced that she'd be re-recording all of the albums she released under Big Machine Records after Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings sold the masters and rights to Tay's music to Shamrock Holdings for a reported $300 million in 2019. Along with giving fans updated versions of her beloved albums, the singer would own the rights to earn $$ from streams and album sales of her re-releases. She debuted Fearless (Taylor's Version), a re-recording of her 2008 album, with six new songs from her vault the following day. According to Forbes, Tay sold 867,000 album-equivalent units and has been streamed almost 600 million times. She followed up with a new recording of 2012's Red (Taylor's Version) in November 2021 that featured a 10-minute version of the smash hit All Too Well. Billboard reports that the follow-up earned 1.56 million equivalent album units by May 2022.

Not only is she an award-winning, chart-topping singer, but Taylor's a skilled businesswoman as well. She's inked collaborations with Apple and Beats 1 Radio and has appeared in commercials for Capital One, Keds, Diet Coke, and American Express, just to name a few. She previously collaborated with Target, releasing special editions of her CDs with extra bonuses for her fans.

In 2022, Taylor got the chance to show off another set of skills as she appeared in HBO's period dramedy Amsterdam. And that's not her only film role. She previously starred in the film adaption of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats as Bombalurina, Valentine's Day, and The Giver, and appeared in a voice acting role in The Lorax.

Taylor isn't the only person in the Swift household earning big bucks. Taylor's Scottish fold cat Olivia Benson has an impressive net worth of an estimated $97 million.

All in all, the Midnights singer is bringing home major coins. According to Forbes, Taylor's total net worth is an estimated $740 million.
