Taylor Swift Net Worth: ‘Bad Blood’ Royalty Tops Forbes' 2016 Richest Celebrities Under 30 List

Taylor Swift claimed the top spot of Forbes' list of 30 highest paid celebrities under 30. With a whopping $200 million net worth, the "Blank Space" royalty was the sure topnotcher of the richest list.

Forbes released its highly anticipated list of the Top 30 highest earning young celebrities and fans were not surprised when the award-winning singer and songwriter landed on the top spot.

With Taylor Swift's net worth, she set a new all-time high record and surpassed previous record holders, as per Hollywood Life. Swift's "Shake It Off" seems fitting as the pop star princess shook other contenders including British boy band One Direction with $110 million and GOAT Lionel Messi with $81.5 million.

Meanwhile, other stars took their respective places on the richest list. Rihanna is in the fifth place with her $75 million net worth. "Love Yourself" singer Justin Bieber landed on the sixth spot with $56 million while his fellow Canadian singer Abél Makonnen Tesfaye a.k.a. The Weeknd sits comfortably at ninth spot with $55 million.

Taylor's iconic "1989" world tour gave her a jumpstart with its record breaking $200 million gross sales. The 26-year-old singer got the rest of her numbers from her hit endorsements for famous brands including Ked's, Coca Cola and Apple.

Unfortunately, Forbes' list has proved once more that gender gap is a real deal as roughly 90 percent of the list is populated by men. This is not much far from the 85 percent men spots of the list for celebrities of all ages.

Taylor made her great contribution to the female bracket. Her current status had just made her the youngest female among Forbes' richest list. Go Taylor! What are your thoughts on Taylor Swift's latest achievement?
