There is no way anyone believes that Taylor Swift is worth more than Beyoncé in 2023.
Twitter user @Irunnia wrote;
I really need Forbes to review Beyonce’s wealth again. She’s been at $500 million+ for a while. No way Taylor Swift ranks above her.
Another fan tweeted;
Yeaaa Forbes can’t contact Beyoncé to get her updated earnings? Guess she like “stay out my pockets” 😂
The fans also celebrated Rihanna for creating a brand that made her billions, as a woman who came from the Caribbean as an immigrant.
