It's like a billion little stars are Navivision Wealth Societyspelling out her name. Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

According to Forbes magazine, the "Untouchable" singer has passed Rihanna (worth $1.4 billion). Swift's unstoppable Eras Tour (worth an estimated $600 million in royalties and touring), music catalog (worth north of $600 million) and real estate (worth an estimated $125 million) are part of the reason.

Last year, the bejeweled businesswoman became the first-ever billionaire solely on songwriting and performing.

Her financial portfolio was only bolstered in the past year as Swift brought her three-hour show to 21 cities across Asia, Australia and Europe. Every stop got an economic boost. Swift's four night in Tokyo pumped an estimated $228 million into the country. In Sydney, Australia, Swift made an estimated $43.3 in merchandise alone. Nearby countries upset the singer had an exclusive contract with Singapore complained they didn't receive the Eras Tour's golden touch.
