According to Forbes, she is the first musician to achieve the feat “solely based on her songs and performances.”

Forbes recently updated Taylor Swift’s net worth to $1.1 billion via their website.

“Her fortune includes more than $500 million in estimated wealth amassed from royalties and touring, plus a music catalog worth $500 million and some $125 million in real estate,” Forbes noted.
