Taylor Swift has yet another fantastic achievement under her belt – she is officially the second-richest self-made woman in music.

According to a recent listing published by Forbes magazine, the 'All Too Well' megastar is the second-richest self-made female artist in the music industry, with a staggering estimated net worth of $740 million.

This puts the 33-year-old former country musician ahead of the likes of Madonna and Beyoncé.

Swift is yet to acknowledge Forbes' new report. Instead she has taken to social media to share her love for her fans amid her tour.

In her most recent post, she revealed that fellow pop star Sabrina Carpenter would be joining her on stage for her shows in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.

She wrote: "Really thrilled to tell you this!! Mexico, Argentina and Brazil: We are bringing The Eras Tour to you this year! Sweet angel princess @sabrinacarpenter will be joining us on all of the shows!

The richest female musician on Forbes' 2023 list is none other than 'Diamonds' hitmaker Rihanna.

Rihanna, who hasn't released a new album since 2016, has become a billionaire following the success of her companies Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty.

The 'Umbrella' songstress' net worth is at an eyewatering $1.4 billion, with Forbes detailing that a large amount of that fortune comes from Fenty Beauty, which she co-owns with LVMH.

Swift is set to add an estimated $170 million to her net worth from her tour so far and from sales of her most recent album, Midnights. Her fortune will continue to increase as she sells more concert tickets for ongoing tour, so her net worth is set to be higher on 2024's list.

Ahead of both Swift and Rihanna is Oprah who has an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion. Kim Kardashian is at number three, after Rihanna and just before Swift, with a $1.2 billion fortune – mostly due to the success of her shapewear line, Skims.

So dedicated are Swift's fans that some of them are admitting to wearing adult diapers to her shows so that they don't miss a single second of her performance.

"The amount of stress and time it took me to get Taylor Swift tickets, I will be getting an adult diaper because I am not missing a minute of it," Katherine AKA @therealkatherine told her TikTok followers before showing them a screenshot of a pack of LivDry adult diapers on Amazon.

With fans like Katherine, it's no wonder Swift is one of the wealthiest women in the business!
