Taylor Swift, renowned for her stellar music career, is not just dominating the charts but also making waves in the world of real estate with an estimated net worth of $570 million, $150 million of which has been strategically invested in properties across the United States. Swift, 33, recently concluded the first leg of her groundbreaking Eras Tour, and Forbes predicts her success will elevate her to billionaire status by the end of the year.
From her humble beginnings on a Christmas tree farm in Cumru Township, Pennsylvania, Swift’s journey to global pop stardom has been remarkable. Her musical inclinations began to surface in a five-bedroom home in Wyomissing, just outside Reading, before she convinced her parents to relocate to Nashville at the age of 14 to pursue her music career. In 2009, Swift made her initial foray into real estate with the purchase of a condo in Nashville—a property she still owns.
Swift’s real estate portfolio has since expanded to encompass eight diverse residences, ranging from a $150 million penthouse in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood to an 11,000-square-foot historical landmark in California. Amidst the success of her ongoing tour, Swift’s strategic investments in real estate are poised to further enhance her financial standing.
Here’s a closer look at the properties Taylor Swift currently owns:
West Village Apartment, New York:
Swift rented this 1870 brick townhouse between 2016 and 2017 while her $50 million TriBeCa loft was undergoing renovations. Currently listed for .9 million, this charming dwelling boasts four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a grand indoor pool, offering a blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.
TriBeCa New York Condo Expansion, New York:
In 2014, Swift acquired two adjacent penthouses in TriBeCa, converting them into a sprawling duplex with 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a billiards room, and an impressive sweeping staircase. The homes were purchased from renowned director Peter Jackson.
In 2018, Swift acquired an additional three-bedroom loft on the second floor of the same TriBeCa building, further solidifying her presence at 155 Franklin Street. The apartment, previously owned by financier Jeremy Phillips, cost $9.75 million.
Beverly Hills Estate, Los Angeles:
Acquired in 2015, Swift’s 1934 Beverly Hills mansion, once owned by film producer Samuel Goldwyn, is undergoing restoration to transform it into a historic landmark, as per Swift’s decision upon purchase.
Watch Hill Seaside Estate, Rhode Island: Swift’s 12,000-square-foot beach house in Rhode Island, perched atop the town’s highest point, serves as the venue for her famous A-list parties. With seven bedrooms, eight fireplaces, a pool, and 700 feet of shoreline views, this mansion is one of her most impressive acquisitions.
Beverly Hills Midcentury Modern Home, Los Angeles: While Swift no longer owns this ranch-style home, acquired in 2012 and sold in 2018 for $2.65 million, it exemplifies midcentury modern designs and featured a 1,000-bottle, climate-controlled wine cellar.
Greek Revival Estate, Nashville:
Swift’s second Nashville home, known as Northumberland Estate, was purchased in 2011 for “.5 million. This Greek Revival masterpiece includes a 5,600-square-foot main house and a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse, showcasing impeccable design with vaulted ceilings and marble fireplaces.
Music Row Penthouse, Nashville:
At the age of 20, Swift entered the real estate market with the purchase of a 3,240-square-foot condo in the Adelicia building on Music Row in 2009. The industrial-style condo features floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-concept layout, showcasing Swift’s whimsically girlie design aesthetic.
As Taylor Swift continues her ascent in the music industry, her strategic real estate investments reflect a savvy financial acumen that may soon solidify her status as not only a musical powerhouse but also a shrewd real estate mogul.
