ERAS-Tour lets Swift rise to billionaires team
As the US magazine Forbes writes, 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift has been one of the billionaires since October 2023. For example, it ranks 2.110 of the Forbes billionaire ranking from 2025 and 21st place in the Forbes ranking of the richest self-made billionaires in 2025. The platform estimates the pop star’s fortune to $ 1.6 billion (as of September 2, 2025).
As Forbes writes, Swift is the first music star to achieve billionaire status mainly thanks to its own songs and appearances. The “Eras Tour”, which began in March 2023 and continued until the beginning of December 2024, had a large part of this. In fact, the success was so great that even the US Central Bank took the effects of the tour into account as a significant factor in its business forecast, as the Book of the FED revealed from July 2023.
According to Forbes, the Eras Tour was also the first concert tour to do a billion dollar sales. According to the Pollstar industry portal, this also broke the old record of Elton John, who achieved $ 939 million in his five-year tour. The tour would have recorded an estimated $ 2.2 billion in the almost two-year term. $ 1.04 billion would have been recorded in North America, while the rest are distributed to concerts around the world.
“We are witnesses of a historical event. What Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour have achieved on five continents in front of 10 million fans in 21 months is exceptional and unprecedented. The estimated gross turnover of the tour of $ 2.2 billion is the highest ever and almost twice as high as that of the second largest tour,” says Andy Gensler, editor-in-chief of Pollstar & Venuesnow, in a statement that is available. “It is also an example of how this industry keeps crossing new boundaries and at the same time brings music, community and unforgettable experiences to people around the world.” The band Coldplay has already broken the old Elton John-Record with its world tour “Music of the Spheres”, which started in 2022.
The fight for Swift’s music catalog
According to Forbes, around half of Swift’s assets – around $ 850 million – comes from the tour income and royalties. The other large proportion of her wealth – around $ 600 million – comes from Swift’s music catalog, where she alone has the right. This was achieved by the music star, in which she bought the rights to her first six albums from Shamrock Capital. As Foxbusiness writes with reference to Billboard, Swift would have paid $ 360 million for her master recordings.
The dispute over the possession of the master bands started in 2019 after Swift had lost the rights to her music catalog without her knowledge and agreement, as an recording manager Scooter Braun Braun acquired her former label Big Machine Label Group for an estimated $ 300 million. Shamrock Capital then bought the master recordings from Braun in 2020.
In the course of the dispute, Swift had re -recorded her early albums. So far, four of the six albums have been released again, all with the addition “Taylor’s version” and new songs. In the meantime, Swift “her life’s work” belongs again, as she writes on her website and thus also all group films, unpublished songs, music videos and album desergins.
Record albums
She also breaks records with her albums. In 2022, after the release of her album “Midnight”, she even managed to take all the top ten places in the Billboard Hot 100 Song List Ranking of the most important single charts. The album “The Tortures Poets Department”, which was released in 2024, shot with 2.61 million units sold within the first week in the Billboard 200 list.
As Investopedia writes with reference to Wall Street Journal, Swift also has real estate worth $ 150 million, including a villa on Rhode Island worth $ 17 million, about which she writes on one of her albums. According to Forbes, she also has a private jet worth $ 23 million.
In addition, Swift has already received various partnerships with large brands such as Coca-Cola, Covergirl, Keds, AT&T, Target and Sony, as Investopedia has already received. In August 2025, she also engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, who, according to Forbes, has a fortune of around $ 70 million.
