We estimate Swift’s net price to be $1. 3 billion, a figure that is basically received through royalties, touring, and the estimated price of her music catalog ($600 million).
Swift, who has become one of the most popular singer-songwriters in the world, had her fair share of stalkers on her path to fame. One of the pop star’s most recent harassment cases occurred in January, when a Seattle man was arrested three times over several days outside Swift’s Manhattan home. The guy was charged with a misdemeanor charge of criminal contempt in the second degree and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination. Court documents allege that the man was seen near Swift’s home by an unidentified security guard approximately 30 times between late November and January, according to NBC News.
