Taylor Swift ranks just behind one person on the list of wealthiest female artists.

Despite her prolific artistic output, Taylor Swift still falls short in wealth compared to a singer who ‘hibernated’ for 8 years.

She not only dedicates herself to re-recording her old albums but also regularly releases new albums. Since last year, Taylor Swift has embarked on “The Eras Tour”. The singer continues to impress many by consistently creating music despite her busy schedule touring worldwide.

Taylor Swift’s diligence pays off. According to the latest update from Forbes magazine, her fortune has increased by another $200 million, reaching a staggering $1.3 billion due to the success of “The Eras Tour”.

However, on the list of the richest female artists, Taylor Swift still trails behind Rihanna. The voice behind “Diamonds” possesses a fortune of up to $1.4 billion, reduced by $300 million compared to the previous survey.

While Taylor Swift dedicates herself entirely to music, Rihanna is passionate about her business ventures.

What’s noteworthy is that Rihanna hasn’t released any albums or toured for 8 years. Her latest album, “Anti”, hit shelves in 2016. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting new music. This stands in stark contrast to Taylor Swift’s continuous album releases and relentless touring.

Nevertheless, Rihanna still owns a vast fortune due to her ventures in business. She is the founder and CEO of her own cosmetics and fashion brand. Perhaps that’s why the singer is less enthusiastic about singing. Recently, audiences were surprised to see Rihanna selling products on livestream.

Rihanna received nearly 150 billion VND as payment for singing at the wedding.

Rihanna receives nearly $6 million for wedding performances
Not long ago, Rihanna made headlines when she accepted an offer to perform at the wedding of India’s wealthiest billionaire’s son. Many sources revealed that the billionaire had to pay the singer $6 million (approximately 147 billion VND) for her performance at the party. Rihanna’s agreement to perform at the wedding not only earned her a huge paycheck but also provided an opportunity for the singer to promote her name and business brand to the affluent customer segment. This is considered a wise decision by Rihanna.

According to reports, Rihanna currently holds the record for the highest-paid wedding singer in showbiz. Previously, The Rolling Stones legend held the record with a fee of up to £5 million (approximately 140 billion VND)
