Taylor Swift entered Forbes' list of the richest people in the world Monday. With a net worth of $1.1 billion, the artist occupies position 2,545 in the ranking prepared by the magazine, which includes all the billionaires on the planet.

Swift, the publication highlights, is the last famous member of the list. She achieved the position not only thanks to the tour she is doing around the world, but also to the revenue she obtains from her albums as well as "her real estate portfolio":

The most famous newcomer is, of course, Taylor Swift, whose record-breaking, five-continent Eras Tour is the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue. The 34-year-old pop star amassed an estimated $1.1 billion fortune, based on earnings from the blockbuster tour, the value of her music catalog and her real estate portfolio. Swift is the first musician to hit ten-figure status solely based on her songs and performances.

Taylor Swift is still far from occupying first place on the list which, the magazine reports, continues in the held by LVMH CEO Bernald Arnault. With $233 billion, the businessman is the richest person on the planet.

Forbes noted that the list is now larger than ever. According to the publication, there are more billionaires in the world than ever, a total of 2,781.
