Forbes credits the pop star’s financial success primarily to her sold-out global Eras tour and the value of her entire music catalogue, making her the first musician to become a billionaire from her songs and live performances.
Part of her fortune includes close to $600 million from royalties and touring, another $600 million from her music catalog and some $125 million in real estate.
On the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires, she is ranked #2,117. Some of the female musicians she has now surpassed include Madonna at $850 M, Beyoncé at $760 M, Celine Dion at $550 M, and Rihanna at $1.4 billion.
