Taylor Swift didn’t need a “lucrative side hustle” to become a billionaire. The 12-time Grammy winner deserves due credit for smart investment decisions besides her singing career. For instance, her real estate properties are as vast as her ‘record-breaking’ Eras Tour. But she is not alone in this. Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce too enjoys comparable fame and credit for his investments. As both of them advance in their respective careers, their investments in various ventures continue to grow.

The most recent addition for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was buying an approx $6 million mansion within a gated community, seeking extra privacy in KC. Despite his simple living choices, he already owned two homes valued at a total of $1,345,000, in addition to his recent acquisition. On the other hand, Swift is continuing to invest in lucrative properties – she picked a major chunk from the first U.S. leg of the Eras Tour. Dive deeper into the investments of these two brand-builders.

Taylor Swift’s sprawling real estate dynasty is out of the world!

Taylor Swift has been a powerhouse in the music industry for over ten years. Not only has she gained massive success through her albums and Eras tour, where tickets and merchandise sales can reach thousands, but she also accumulated a net worth in the hundreds of millions. Since 2011, Tay-Tay has focussed on building an impressive real estate portfolio – eight of the properties are reportedly valued at $84million. Interestingly, Forbes reported that the 33-year-old singer has reportedly invested at least $150 million in real estate out of the $570 million she made through the first U.S. leg of her record-breaking Eras tour.

Her commitment to Nashville is evident as she bought a 3,240 sq. foot industrial-style condominium in the luxurious Adelicia building. The $2 million penthouse’s modern renovations are a real inspiration for fans. In 2011, she purchased her second property in Nashville, a Greek revival house in the Northumberland Estate community. The 5,600 square-foot house reflects Swift’s contemporary tastes, complete with a renovated guest house turned into a recording studio. Notably, Swift owns a significant chunk of NY City, having purchased two adjacent penthouses in a Tribeca building for $19.95 million in 2014 and the second-floor complex for nearly $10 million in 2018.

In 2015, she acquired 1200 Laurel Lane in Beverly Hills, California – a sprawling 10-bedroom mansion currently valued at over $30 million. Expanding her elite property collection, Swift invested in the Watch Hill House, in Westerly, Rhode Island, near Newport. This 12,000 sq foot beach house, worth $17.75 million, has hosted her famous Independence Day parties. Additionally, she owns a West Village townhouse in NY, currently available for rent at $45,000. Her variety of real estate holdings are reportedly worth $150 million.

Swift now stands as the second-richest self-made woman in the music industry, with a staggering net worth of $1.1 billion (reported by Forbes in October). This means she is yet to surpass Rihanna ($1.4 billion) who remains the youngest billionaire. Apart from Swift, her boyfriend also owns multiple investments with four being the major ones.

Travis Kelce’s latest investment can reap great returns

Kelce has a net worth of about $30 million. He isn’t just a football star, he’s also a smart investor. The TE has teamed up with big brands like Nike, Bud Light, State Farm, Experian, Pfizer, and DirecTV. Besides those, his investments go beyond endorsements. He’s involved with Cholula Hot Sauce, Hydrow, PlayersTV, and RealTruck. Kelce made a good move investing in Cholula, as it was sold for a whopping $800 million in 2020. He is also a part of the Formula One Racing team, Alpine, since October 2023.

Alongside Patrick Mahomes, Kelce joined other investors in a deal worth about $218 million. Additionally, he’s in the game with at-home rowing startup Hydrow, which secured $255 million in funding last year. Kelce’s portfolio extends to Casa Azul tequila, PlayersTV, Indochino menswear, and RealTruck accessories. Furthermore, Kelce co-founded Hilo Gummies, a supplement line and owns Tru Kolors sportswear. With his brother, he hosts the popular podcast “New Heights,” currently topping the charts on Apple podcast.

Kelce admitted last month that he was “learning every day” from Swift. The ‘Taylor Swift Effect’ arguably deserves credit, at least for Kelce’s recent investment decision. For instance, he will certainly take the Swift Effect to F-1. Not to mention, the 12-time Grammy-winner changed the NFL landscape- making jaw-dropping viewership and sales records this season. Isn’t she also a giver?
