Taylor Swift’s new worth substantially increased from 2016 to 2017.
According to the latest report regarding the singer’s earnings, Swift’s net worth had reached an impressive $170 million by the end of 2016. However, Swift wasn’t done at $170 million and as she continues to press on with her career, she is now said to be worth a whopping $280 million.
On October 8, Go Banking Rate revealed that Swift’s 1989 world tour had grossed around $200 million. That, added with endorsements from Apple, Diet Coke, and Keds, made for a pretty sweet bank account boost for Swift. Then, just one year later, Forbes magazine estimated that Swift had a net worth of $280 million.
As the outlet explained, Swift isn’t just a singer. She’s also a songwriter and, as Swift fans well know, she recently penned a track for Little Big Town titled “Better Man.”
