Taylor Swift is worth over $200 million. These include some of friendly and not-so-friendly competitors with the likes of Adele (Ranked #9; $80.5 million), Madonna (Ranked #12; $76.5 million), Rihanna (Ranked #13; $75 million), and Katy Perry (Ranked #63; $41 million).

Coming in at number two on the list this year was the boy band One Direction, (US$110 million), followed by author James Patterson (US$95 million).

The magazine will publish the full list of top earning celebrities later today.

Swift’s commercial success throughout the 2015/16 financial year was mainly owing to the success of her latest album tour.

Swift’s “1989 World Tour” is largely responsible for generating much of her income.

This year, however, Perry has dialed things back as she campaigns for Hilary Clinton. Her tour featured an entire galaxy of all her celebrity friends – inviting them on stage to help her perform at almost every stop during the tour.

Swift surpassed ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who claimed the No. 21 spot with $63 million, by a almost threefold margin. Had they stayed together she would have easily kept the title.

Kim Kardashian, who is featured on the magazine’s cover, ranked No. 42 on the list with $51 million.

But Swift could garner even more dough soon: The game’s maker, Glu Mobile, is scheduled to release an app starring Swift later this year.

Photographs on social media showed Taylor meeting some of the young patients, including 13-year-old Bella Harry, who is battling bone cancer.
