What Taylor Swift can teach you about building serious wealth
Not a fan? Doesn’t matter. Her £1.6bn strategy is a blueprint.
You don’t have to like Taylor Swift’s music.
But if you ignore how she’s built a $1.6 billion fortune, you’re leaving money on the table.
I’ve just dropped a full forensic wealth report on Taylor Swift inside the No Bollocks HQ, not shit gossip, not fan fiction, but a proper breakdown of:
How she’s got to an estimated $1.6B net worth at 35
Why tours + royalties + catalogue are the real engine
How she used the masters dispute to increase her leverage
What her real estate, IP and deal structures look like behind the scenes
And the seven strategic pillars she’s followed for nearly two decades
This isn’t about being a “Swiftie”. It’s about stealing the right moves from someone who’s turned songs and shows into a multi-billion-dollar machine.
🎥 Step 1: Watch the breakdown – How Taylor Really Made Her Money
I’ve recorded a full YouTube breakdown:
“How Taylor Really Made Her Money”, walking through the core strategy behind the numbers:
Why “just songs and tours” is actually the most powerful model going
How she turned one album into ten income streams
What her ownership moves around the catalogue really mean
And what founders should copy vs what they should ignore
Watch on YouTube:
Stick it on tonight instead of another mindlessly doomscrolling.
🎙 Step 2: Listen on the No Bollocks podcast
If you prefer audio, I’ve also covered this on the No Bollocks podcast, same topic, same no-bollocks take, more room for stories and examples.
Listen to the Taylor Swift wealth episode:
Available on Spotify / Apple / everywhere you normally listen.
Stick it on in the car or at the gym and ask yourself as you listen:
“Where am I acting like a hobbyist instead of an owner?”
📊 Step 3: Read the full wealth report on HQ
If you like seeing the working out, the written report is where it gets nerdy:
Full breakdown of album sales, streaming, touring and catalogue value
Asset split: tours & royalties vs catalogue vs real estate vs “other”
Timeline of key money moves from teenage Nashville kid to billionaire
And a set of actionable lessons at the end you can actually apply
