For sure, $150 million in real estate is impressive. She has places in Nashville, NYC, Rhode Island… all worth a fortune now.

Exactly. The way she bought up apartments in New York and turned them into a penthouse is genius. The market value must be sky-high.

And she got in early, especially in places like Tribeca. Now it’s one of the priciest areas in NYC.
The ‘Eras’ tour has to be one of the biggest moneymakers for her. Breaking $2 billion in ticket sales is just wild.

Yeah, plus she got 50% of the ticket sales from the movie version. That’s $130 million just from theaters, not to mention the streaming deal with Disney.

Right, Disney paid her $75 million to stream the movie. Altogether, that movie alone earned her $205 million. Unreal.
It’s impressive how she took control of her music too. Leaving Big Machine and going with Republic Records let her own her masters and get a bigger profit cut.

Definitely. She knew what she wanted and didn’t let Big Machine control her old songs forever. Now she’s re-recorded them to have ownership, and fans love it.

And she even has a clause with Universal Music to get a cut if they ever sell their Spotify shares. Smart business move.
I remember reading about her early career too. She was discovered at 15 and signed to Big Machine as their first artist. Who knew she’d go on to make this much?

She’s had an amazing career arc. From country music to pop, and now she’s influencing the whole music industry. She broke so many records.

She was the first female artist to have 200 million album sales and owns a bunch of Guinness World Records. Her fans are super loyal.
Can’t ignore all the endorsements she’s had too. Diet Coke, Capital One, AT&T… those deals must add up each year.

Definitely. Some years she’s made over $150 million, especially during her Reputation tour. Between album sales, merch, and endorsements, she’s set for life.

The Reputation stadium tour grossed $266 million alone. She’s been savvy with every opportunity.
Very nice breakdown pal
