Most of her money came from her star-studded "1989" tour, which smashed The Rolling Stones' North American touring record as it grossed more than $200 million. She also earned her payday from her deals with Apple, Diet Coke and Keds.
Swift last year landed at the list's No. 8 with her previous best of $80 million. Now, she defeats a bunch of other famous faces including One Direction (No. 2 with $110 million), Kevin Hart (No. 6 with $87.5 million), Howard Stern (No. 7 with $85 million) and Adele (No. 9 with $80.5 million).Taylor Swift is the world's top-earning celebrity, pulling in $170M in 2016: https://t.co/YrXBwtyaRF #Celeb100 pic.twitter.com/IonDlrm0D2— Forbes (@Forbes) July 11, 2016
She also bests her ex Calvin Harris who lands at No. 21 with $63 million and her nemesis Katy Perry who sits at No. 63 with $41 million. Had Swift and Harris stayed together, they would have been this year's top-earning couple, surpassing Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z's $107.5 million total.
Despite being the one topping the Forbes list, Swift isn't featured on the magazine's cover. Instead, the publication has Kim Kardashian's face on the front page. The reality TV star also makes the list, bowing at No. 43 with $51 million. Around 40% of that sum came from her mobile game, "Kim Kardashian Hollywood".
