Travis Kelce’s Heartfelt Message as Taylor Swift made it onto Forbes’ World Billionaires list.

Taylor Swift has made it onto Forbes’ World Billionaires list.

The 34-year-old pop superstar became the first person in history to reach a net worth of US$1 billion (NZ$1.7 billion) solely through their music or performances and now she has joined the likes of SpaceX founder Elon Musk on the annual ranking for the first time.

Forbes said: “Taylor Swift (US$1.1 billion) joins the 2024 ranks — the first musician to do it based solely on songwriting and performing — after the record-breaking first leg of her Eras tour.”

Swift joins “nearly a dozen other famous A-list billionaires, including George Lucas (US$5.5 billion), Michael Jordan (US$3.2 billion) and Kim Kardashian (US$1.7 billion)”.

Topping the overall list was LVMH French luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and his family, with a net worth of US$233 billion.

Swift has been named as the world’s 2546th richest person, joining an elite group that’s growing.

Musk (US$195 billion) came in second while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was in third place with a fortune worth US$194 billion.

Next was Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, who bagged fourth place on the list with a net worth of US$177 billion.

In describing what has been a record-breaking year for the list, Forbes said: “It’s been a banner year for the mega-wealthy.

“Forbes found an unprecedented 2781 billionaires around the globe for this year’s World’s Billionaires list — 141 more than in 2023 and 26 more than the previous record, set in 2021.

“The super-rich are also richer than ever, with their combined wealth hitting US$14.2 trillion — US$2 trillion more than just a year ago and US$1.1 trillion above the previous record, also set in 2021.”
