Here is everything you need to know.
Forbes has announced Taylor Swift as the second richest self-made woman in music
Forbes dropped their ‘America’s 100 Richest Self-Made Women’ list this week on Thursday. In addition, it includes famous names such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Oprah Winfrey.
For the unversed, the emphasis sises the top hundred most successful female entrepreneurs, executives, as well as entertainers in the United States of America.
Nevertheless, Swift has surpassed the two reigning Queens of Pop and is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Oprah Winfrey and ABC Supply’s Diane Hendricks.

The Karma singer’s net worth is estimated to be around $740 million while Beyonce reportedly has a fortune of $540 million.
Madonna on the other hand has a whopping net worth of $580 million after she sold her majority of shares in her production house Hello Sunshine in 2021.
However, Rihanna takes the throne on the ‘Richest Self-Made Women’ list with an eye-watering wealth of $1.4 billion, and neatly doubles Swift’s figure.
The 35-year-old pop superstar’s income mainly comes from her successful music career as well as her cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty, which she launched in 2017.
