Billboard confirms Taylor Swift still very, very rich
A new report from Billboard confirms that, yes, Taylor Swift is still very, very rich. The trade publication just put out its annual list of the music industry’s top moneymakers, with Swift absolutely dominating last year’s winners Madonna and Bruce Springsteen to nab the top spot. Swift pulled in the oddly specific number of $39,699,575.60 last year, and that’s not including her merch sales, sponsorships, or branding. All those perfume royalties, Diet Coke endorsements, and $35 T-shirts could amount to another $10 million, in what is probably a conservative estimate.
