Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s billionaire status has reached a new milestone.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, June 4, the \u201cSo High School\u201d singer\u2019s net worth was revealed to be $2 billion in Forbes<\/em><\/a>\u2019 \u201cIconoclast 50\u201d list, which \u201crecognizes 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,\u201d the outlet shared.<\/p>\n

Forbes<\/em> called Swift, 36, \u201cone of the most commercially successful songwriters of all time,\u201d noting that she \u201cchanged 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2019, Swift\u2019s former record label, Big Machine, sold the rights to her first six albums to music manager Scooter Braun<\/strong>. The following year, Braun, 44, handed over the catalog to Shamrock Capital for $300 million. In order to regain control of the rights to her music without purchasing the original master recordings, Swift began rerecording her older works as \u201cTaylor\u2019s Version.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBeyonc\u00e9 has officially reached billionaire status. Forbes revealed the pop star\u2019s achievement on Monday, December 29. According to the business publication, Beyonc\u00e9, 44, is now the fifth musician to become a billionaire, joining her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s milestone comes after the success of her 2024 country [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Grammy winner has since released four Taylor\u2019s Version<\/em> albums: Fearless<\/em> and Red<\/em> in 2021 and Speak Now<\/em> and 1989<\/em> in 2023. (She confirmed last year that she has also rerecorded her debut album<\/a>, but has yet to release the project. Meanwhile, she currently has no plans to release a Taylor\u2019s Version<\/em> of her sixth studio album, Reputation<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Swift achieved billionaire status<\/a> in 2024 thanks to her massively successful Eras Tour, which spanned 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents. The venture became the highest-grossing concert tour in history with revenue of $2.2 billion.<\/p>\n

In May 2025, Swift used her earnings from the tour to buy back her original masters<\/a> for an estimated $360 million. She now has ownership of her entire music catalog.<\/p>\n
