It’s official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to tie the knot! They’re a power couple known for shattering records, but when it comes to their bank accounts, one star definitely shines brighter. A financial deep-dive, reported by Forbes on Tuesday, August 26, lays out just how much money these two have.
Swift, 35, holds an estimated net worth of $850 million. Her fiancé, Kelce, also 35, has an estimated net worth of $70 million. That’s quite a difference!
So, how did Swift build such a massive fortune? A huge chunk of her wealth comes from her historic "Eras Tour." This tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024, made history by becoming the first tour ever to rake in over a billion dollars. Beyond her live shows, Swift also owns her entire music catalog. She bought back the master recordings of her first six albums in May, reportedly for a staggering $360 million.
Her impressive real estate collection is another big part of her assets, valued at $120 million. This includes her $17 million mansion in Rhode Island, a property that has even popped up in her song lyrics. And let’s not forget her private jet, which is worth about $23 million.
Now, let’s talk about Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end has earned $111 million during his 12 years in the NFL, before taxes and agent fees. He’s set to return for his thirteenth season next month. For that season, he’ll earn around $17.25 million in base salary, roster bonuses, and training bonuses.
Kelce isn’t just scoring touchdowns; he’s also made a big name for himself in entertainment. His earnings outside of football are estimated at $80 million. This figure includes a chunk of a three-year, $100 million deal. He also hosts the popular podcast "New Heights" with his older brother, Jason Kelce, which signed a deal with Wondery in August 2024.
Last year, Kelce made his acting debut in FX’s Grotesquerie. He also hosted Prime Video’s game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? and appeared in Happy Gilmore 2, which hit Netflix in July. Adding to his business ventures, Kelce announced on Wednesday, August 27, that he’s partnered with American Eagle. He’s serving as creative director for a limited-edition collaboration called AE x Tru Kolors by Travis Kelce, featuring his own lifestyle and sportswear brand.
Kelce also owns a $6 million home in Kansas City and drives a $400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom.
Together, this star-studded couple boasts a combined net worth of $1.67 billion. While Forbes notes this is a bit less than Beyoncé and Jay Z’s estimated $2.6 billion combined wealth, it still puts them ahead of other famous pairs. They’re richer than Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, as well as Victoria and David Beckham, making them one of the wealthiest duos in the entertainment world.
