Taylor Swift has reportedly been dethroned as the youngest self-made woman billionaire. Lucy Guo, founder of creator platform Passes, now holds the distinction. The timing coincides with Swift’s new deal with Shamrock Capital, prompting fan speculation about its potential impact on her net worth.
Here’s why ‘is Taylor Swift a billionaire?’ is trending
Music fans are curious to know if Taylor Swift is a billionaire after recent reports of Lucy Guo holding the position of the youngest self-made woman billionaire in 2025 emerged. However, Swift’s recent deal with Shamrock suggests the partnership will likely strengthen Swift’s music empire and keep her billionaire status intact (via New York Post).
Swift reportedly invested over $360 million to reclaim rights to her first six albums. The move reportedly appears to have strengthened her music empire by ensuring streaming profits flow directly to her. So, her billionaire status likely remains secure, bolstered by her music catalog, touring revenue, and strategic business ventures.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Swift’s current net worth is estimated to be around $1.5 billion. The “Wildest Dreams” hitmaker is one of the only singers in the world whose net worth is entirely driven by her music catalog and other related activities.
Fans have also hailed the singer’s strategic move as an overall win. With the re-recordings, Swifties get to hear T-Swizzle’s “grown-up” vocals. But the “OG” versions also reportedly drive up the sale and can ultimately profit the singer.
A fan noted on Reddit, “Taylor taking back her masters is a triumph for her any way you look at it, but from an artistic viewpoint, it has fueled Taylor’s greatest hot streak. If she had quietly bought her masters from Scott Borchetta in 2019, we would not have gotten My Tears Ricochet.” They further shared, “We would not have gotten the vault tracks or Midnights in quite the same way as it appeared. And of course there would not have been the Eras Tour.”
