According to Forbes, the 27-year old's wealth amounts to $280 million which places her on the Celebrity 100 list of the world's highest-paid entertainers. Most of her earnings have come from her music career which includes albums, touring and endorsements for companies such as Apple, Diet Coke and Keds.

Despite having a quiet year or two like she did in 2016, she continues to earn royalties from her music which have become some of the most memorable songs of the decade. Her return to the spotlight with "Look What You Made Me Do" broke streaming records and positioned her upcoming album, "Reputation," as a certified commercial success.
Swift has certainly evolved from her girl-next-door image with the release of her latest single. But even if the "old Taylor" is gone, her fans are nonetheless here to stay.
"Reputation" goes on sale on Nov. 10.
