The American pop star entered the Forbes World's Billionaires List for the first time with $1.1 billion (£877 million), along with Sam Altman, creator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT, who also reached $1 billion (£800 million), reported Jemma Dempsey for BBC News.
LVMH French luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and his family topped the chart with an estimated $233 billion (£185 billion).
Forbes stated there were a record 2,781 billionaires for 2024, 141 more than last year and 26 more than the previous record set in 2021. The collective wealth of these elites was $14.2 trillion (£11.3 trillion), according to Forbes, reported Lucy Burton for The Telegraph.
Singer-songwriter Swift entered the rich list after achieving megastar status. She stole the show at this year's Grammy Awards, becoming the first performer to win the prize for Album of the Year four times.
Her album "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was also the best-selling vinyl LP of last year. Swift's success extends beyond music, with her presence at American football games being credited with raising NFL viewing figures.
