Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Rihanna have all been named to Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women of 2024 list.

The global media company’s year-end ranking of the most powerful women in the world is determined by four main metrics: money, media, impact and spheres of influence. According to the publication, the "100 women across finance, technology, media and beyond who command a collective $33 trillion in economic power and influence more than 1 billion people."

Swift, as it was reported earlier this year, became a billionaire in 2024, and now sits on a real time net worth of a reported $1.6 billion. Forbes notes that she "is the first musician to make the billionaire ranking primarily based on her songs and performances."

It also adds that $600 million of her fortune comes from from royalties and touring, with another estimated $600 million for her catalogue, and around $125 million in real estate.

A net worth is not revealed for Beyoncé, but notes it comes from "her roughly three decades as a solo performer and a member of the girl-group Destiny's Child." In addition, her fortune includes a a $200 million Malibu mansion with husband Jay-Z, as well as clothing and fragrance lines, and her recent hair care brand, Cécred.

Rihanna currently boasts a real net worth of $1.4 billion, mostly due to the phenomenal success of her cosmetics line Fenty Beauty.
