Taylor Swift Net Worth in 2014

There's no doubt that Taylor Swift is a bonafide superstar. She's one of the music industry's biggest acts which has allowed her to amass a fortune based on her album sales and concert tours alone. But her squeaky clean image has also made her a commodity for brands look to associate themselves with the family friendly star. On top of that, Taylor has also successfully invested in real estate to grow her net worth to close to $200 million dollars. Record Sales Since she debuted in 2006, Taylor has sold approximately $40 million in album sales. This doesn't include her most recent release which has been a MASSIVE success. But strangely enough, this sum pales in comparison to her concert earnings. Ticket Sales Taylor is a hot commodity and if you need further proof of this then look no further than ticket sales to her concerts. Since she began touring, Taylor's concerts have racked up an amazing $400 million dollars! Almost a half billion dollars! Her crossover from the country scene to the pop scene made tickets to her show a must have when she came to your town. Endorsements As we mentioned above, Taylor's wholesome image and good looks have made her an extremely popular target for companies wishing to have her endorse their products. As a result, she has signed endorsement deals with Cover Girl, Target, Sony, Diet Coke, Keds and American Greetings. All toll her sponsorships look to have amounted to close to $30 million over the course of her career. Real Estate As I'm writing this, Taylor almost has too many houses to count. She's purchased a condo in Nashville as well as a $2.5 million estate for her parents in the same city. She also purchased a $4 million place in Beverly Hills. But her biggest splash of all was the $17 million she spent on a waterfront mansion in Rhode Island. When considering her share of these earnings and what she has likely paid in taxes, Forbes puts the estimate of her net worth at around $200 million. Not bad for a woman who will only turn 25 in 10 days.
