Taylor Swift may have broken the record for the amount of revenue made in a single tour, but it turns out there’s another musician who makes almost twice as much as the ‘Cruel Summer’ songstress.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0singer’s<\/a>\u00a0Eras Tour<\/em>\u00a0came to a close in December of last year after a whopping 149 shows across five continents, leaving Swifties with fond memories and the 35-year-old in serious need of a break.<\/p>\n

The tour, which\u00a0Swift<\/a>\u00a0called ‘the adventure of a lifetime’ and the ‘most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date’, is reported to have made more than $2 billion, as\u00a0per<\/a>\u00a0Forbes.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0leg grossed about $1.04 billion and according to figures from October 2024, and the international stops grossed a further $1.15 billion.<\/p>\n

And the Guardian further\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that following the tour’s last stop in Vancouver, Taylor Swift Touring revealed the revenue was $2,077,618,725 (\u00a31.62bn), beating previous record holder, Elton John and his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which lasted from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n

However, despite her record-breaking earnings, the ‘Love Story’ singer isn’t actually the\u00a0richest<\/a>\u00a0musician in the world.<\/p>\n

That title goes to Jay-Z, whose empire is worth a whopping $2 billion, almost double Taylor Swift’s reported $1.3 billion net worth.<\/p>\n

With the rapper not releasing a new album since 2017, you may be wondering how he does it. The answer: a load of non-music-related ventures.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old has amassed much of his wealth through his own start-ups as well as early investments in companies such as Uber and SpaceX.<\/p>\n

And, in 2013, the business mogul started Roc Nation Sports, a sports agency that has since gone on to sign some of the biggest names in American sport, including basketball players Kevin Durant and Jeremy Lin.<\/p>\n

It is now ranked as the seventh biggest sports agency in the world with a value of around $200 million.<\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9’s husband received another payday in 2021 after selling music streaming service Tidal to a financial tech company for $297 million, and he also had a $200 million contract with Live Nation to promote the entertainment company.<\/p>\n

But by far his biggest money-making venture is a boozy one.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Jay-Z bought 50 percent of the champagne company Armand de Brignac and acquired the rest eight years later.<\/p>\n

Then, LVMH owner Bernard Arnault purchased 50 percent off him in 2021 for a reported $630 million.<\/p>\n

And, after he bought shares in luxury cognac business Du’ss\u00e9, Bacardi bought his stake for an eye-watering $750 million in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
