Taylor Swift is a billionaire, no shocker there — but where she stands against other A-listers is surprising to Us.

Forbes dropped their annual World’s Celebrity Billionaires list on Tuesday, April 2, with a slew of notable names that make a reported collective $31 billion. Swift, 34, actually came in at the bottom of the list at No. 14 (one off from her lucky number) with a reported net worth of $1.1 billion.

The publication noted that Swift made “$190 million post-tax earnings” from her Eras Tour concerts and made her “the first person to do it based solely on songwriting and performing.”

Other musicians gracing the list included Rihanna and Jay-Z, both of whom are also business owners.Aaron Paul Claims He Gets No Breaking Bad Streaming Residuals

Rihanna, 36, was ranked in the No. 9 spot, with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion. Aside from her music career, she also has stakes in “two billion-dollar brands,” Forbes reported, referencing Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty.

Jay-Z, 54, was the highest-ranked musician at No. 5, with a reported $2.5 billion net worth. The rapper is more of an investor, with stakes in Uber and Block, and he also sold his stakes in Armand de Brignac and D’Usse liquor brands over the years. (Forbes noted that Jay-Z’s reported net worth does not include wife Beyoncé’s money.)

Perhaps the most surprising star that ranked ahead of Swift on this year’s list was Kim Kardashian, who came in at No. 6 with a reported net worth of $1.7 billion. Of course, the reality star’s Skims shapewear line has allowed her to make a bulk of money in recent years, as it was valued at $4 billion in 2023.
