Taylor Swift Tops 2024 Forbes List as World’s Wealthiest Billionaire | World News

Taylor Swift has reached a new milestone in her career as she has been named one of the world’s billionaires by Forbes. The 34-year-old singer’s Eras Tour, which spanned 152 shows across five continents, brought in over $1 billion in revenue, contributing to her estimated fortune of $1.1 billion.

The total wealth of those on the list has reached a staggering $14.2 trillion, with the richest person being Bernard Arnault and family, with a net worth of $233 billion.

Swift’s upcoming 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is set to be released on April 19 and will feature collaborations with UK-based band Florence + The Machine and US rapper and singer Post Malone. With her continued success in the music industry and her growing wealth, Taylor Swift’s star continues to rise.
