You’re probably already aware that Taylor Swift has had a pretty good year.
But no matter how much you’ve heard about her astonishing success, a newly-recently analysis of Taylor’s financial portfolio might have you picking your jaw up off the floor.
According to a London tabloid and the “team of financial experts” with whom they claim to have consulted, Taylor stands to rake in about $ 365 million by the end of 2015.
If math’s not your thing, that’s a freakin’ million dollars a day!
The earnings come not only from Taylor’s album and ticket sales (which are substantial), but from her endorsement deals with brands like Diet Coke and Elizabeth Arden, and her ownership stake in three companies that handle music-management and touring.
A recent report from Forbes says that Taylor may be well on her way to becoming a billionaire (and one of the wealthiest women on the planet) by the time she’s 30.
“Right now, Taylor is untouchable,” says media analyst Mike Raia.
“She is so far ahead of everyone else in the industry that she has become not only a powerhouse entertainer but also an important mover and shaker on the commercial side of the music business.”
Obviously, Taylor made more money than any other musician this year, which is a nice little victory for her, as rival Katy Perry was last year’s top earner.
Sadly, Katy only raked in a paltry $ 155 million last year. You may now return to your desk job that barely allows you to keep up with your student loan payments.
