For more than a decade, Taylor Swift has dominated the music industry. The singer has accumulated a net worth in the hundreds of millions thanks to her albums, her popular Eras tour, for which tickets may sell for thousands of dollars, and merchandise sales.
With a staggering $740 million in net worth, Swift has in fact become the second richest self-made woman in music history. She now has a higher net worth than Madonna ($580 million), but still lags behind Rihanna ($1.4 billion).
Even if her tour is completely booked, she continues to be involved with real estate.
Swift has accumulated a real estate portfolio valued at over $80 million since 2011.
The singer’s former West Village townhouse in Manhattan, which she rented in 2016 while her combination penthouse property in Tribeca underwent renovations, was most recently offered for $17.99 million. Furthermore, the house served as the inspiration for her song “Cornelia Street.”
For $47.7 million, Swift essentially purchased an entire block in New York City.
In 2014, she made her first real estate investment in New York City when she paid $19.95 million for two adjacent penthouses in a Tribeca skyscraper.
She paid around $10 million in 2018 to purchase the building’s second-floor condominium. The 3,540 square foot apartment was purchased by her from billionaire Jeffrey Phillips in an off-market transaction.
She paid $18 million in 2017 for the four-story, 100-year-old townhouse next door. The three-story Franklin Street townhouse features a spa, a garden, wide-plank oak floors that date back to the French era, and a terrace that is landscaped and surrounded by a Japanese paper glass wall.
The house boasts seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and a three-bedroom apartment for Swift’s security team right next door.
Since then, the singer has sent the NYC Department of Buildings a plethora of requests for work orders and more than $1 billion worth of renovations.
More recently, according to city records, she made news in 2023 after receiving thousands from the city’s Sanitation Department for neglecting to maintain the cleanliness of the sidewalks in front of her building.
Watch Hill | Westerly, Rhode Island
Swift has her Rhode Island home as a place to retreat to when she needs a brief vacation. The estate, which is a spacious 12,000 square feet, features eight bedrooms and eight fireplaces.
It is alleged that she paid an incredible $17.75 million in cash for the acquisition.
Situated on 5 acres of land, the home boasts over 700 feet of coastline on the summit of Watch Hill, providing the vocalist with unhindered views of the ocean.
She most likely choose the peaceful neighbourhood because it’s not an option often taken by A-listers. It is rumoured that this property served as the inspiration for her song “The Last Great American Dynasty.”
Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee
Swift is most likely spending her time in Nashville, where she began her musical career, when she isn’t spending it in the Big Apple.
She most likely spends her time at the opulent Northumberland home, a Greek revival home, these days when she is in Music City. She paid $2.5 million for the 5,600-square-foot mansion in June 2011. Constructed in 1934, the main home comprises four bedrooms and five bathrooms, in addition to a guest house that was erected in 1964 that spans 2,000 square feet. Situated in the affluent Forest Hills district, the mansion occupies six acres.
Guilford Dudley Jr., a former US ambassador to Denmark, constructed the home.Although Swift spends most of her time on the East Coast, she occasionally travels to Los Angeles.
She sold two of her homes in Beverly Hills in 2018. One was a $4 million Cape Cod-style cottage, and the other was a $2.65 million smaller single-story home that she utilised as a guesthouse.
