Taylor Swift is worth $280 million. Yes, you read that correctly. And just in case you didn’t catch that the first time – the Taylor Swift net worth for 2017 is $280 million.

Forbes estimates that the pop singer of songs like “Shake It Off” and “You Belong With Me” has made $44 million so far in 2017.

So, what is bringing the good ol’ American girl so much cold, hard cash? And what kind of bougie designer duds is she spending all that dough on?

ENTITY’s got the lowdown for you.

Being worth $280 million is definitely “Better Than Revenge.”

So how exactly does she make so much money?

First and foremost, Swift’s catchy hits like “Bad Blood,” “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” landed her a number one spot on the Billboard charts. And that’s not the only time she was recognized for being in the top spot.

She’s also won 10 Grammys in categories like “Best Pop Vocal Album,” “Album of the Year” and “Best Music Video” for her album 1989.

Now take into consideration the fact that streaming these songs on programs like Spotify earn her $0.006 and $0.0084 per stream, according to Buzzfeed. On top of that, Taylor makes about 9.1 cents per song in royalties. She is also estimated to receive about 12-20 percent of the 70 percent record label cut for every album sold.

When you sell more than 40 million albums, that seriously adds up.

But the other big cash cow? Her tours.

Four of her five studio albums took number one spots in the United States. These include: “Fearless,”Speak Now,” “Red” and “1989.” She grossed $336 million for the first three album tours, and for her “1989” world tour she grossed $173 million so far.

On top of the money she brings in for her peppy pop songs, Swift also earns the big bucks from branded merchandise, endorsements and appearances.

Looks like Kanye West wasn’t the only one making her “Famous.”

So how does T. Swift fill the “Blank Space” with all her cash?

A Rhode Island seaside mansion worth over $17 million dollars is definitely a solid place to start. The 11,000 square-foot paradise has eight bedrooms, a pool and 700 feet of shoreline access with views of Little Narragansett Bay. It is located in the Watch Hill village, popular for its summer resorts and Sport Fishing.

What is the celebrity must-have to avoid the crowds of us normal folk while traveling? Their own private jet. But, why have one when you can have two? Swift owns a pair of Dassault Falcon jets.

And what would your own private jets be without special touches like your favorite number painted near the cabin door? Oh, and a registration number that combines the number of no. 1 singles you had at the time of purchase, your birthday and initials: N898TS.

With no kids to spoil, the Taylor Swift net worth is spent on her cats Dr. Meredith Grey and Detective Olivia Benson. From being featured on her social media accounts to riding around in her private jets and lounging on her designer furniture, these cats seriously have it made.

Hey Taylor, we totally wouldn’t mind if you wanted us to tag along on your private jet for your world tour!
