TAYLOR SWIFT – $400 MILLION

American singer-songwriter Taylor Alison Swift has a total net worth of $400 million. Originally born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, but she eventually called a moving company and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, back in 2004 to pursue a career in the music industry, specifically in country music. She was first discovered when she was 15 years old while performing in a Nashville cafe by Scott Borchetta, a future music mogul. Swift released her debut album, Tim McGraw, in June 2006.

Following her debut album, Swift released four more singles from 2007 to 2008: Our Song, Teardrops on My Guitar, Should’ve Said No, and Picture to Burn. All these songs were on BillBoard’s Hot Country Songs chart throughout the United States. When Our Song and Should’ve Said No reached the number one spot, the young country singer immediately became the youngest person to have written and sung a number one song single-handedly.
