- Billionaire popstar Taylor Swift and Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce broke the internet yesterday when they announced their engagement. And their combined net worth is just as jaw-dropping as her $550,000 diamond ring, as the power couple will boast a collective fortune of $1.67 billion after saying “I do.” Their cross-industry wealth is 2.5 times higher than iconic duo Victoria and David Beckham, but pales in comparison to other married legends, like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who are sitting on a $3.38 billion fortune.
The internet exploded yesterday when billionaire popstar Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs football star Travis Kelce. Her Instagram post has racked up more than 29 million likes in less than 24 hours.
The athlete locked in their arrangement with a diamond ring estimated to be worth around $550,000—a small token to mark the billion-dollar empire they’ll be running.
Together, the celebrity pairing boasts a combined wealth of $1.67 billion. In comparison, the market cap of popular U.S. movie theatre chain AMC Entertainment only stands at $1.47 billion. Around 96% of that comes from Swift’s net worth alone, which is sky-high thanks to an incredibly successful 20-year run in entertainment. Meanwhile, most of Kelce’s fortune has come from his podcast contract earnings and 12 seasons in the NFL.
The 14-time Grammy-winner and three-time Super Bowl champion is just one of many power couples in Hollywood. Other iconic duos like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and Victoria and David Beckham, have also combined their sky-high net worths and industry successes to become cultural and financial powerhouses.
The breakdown of the celebrity couple’s individual net worths
Swift reached billionaire status in 2023 after her highly successful Era’s Tour—the highest-grossing concert tour in history, surpassing $1 billion in revenue.
The 35-year-old singer now has a $1.6 billion net worth, according to an analysis from Forbes. About $850 million of her wealth was earned touring and making music, including 11 studio albums.
Swift also bought back her Masters from Shamrock for around $300 million earlier this year, according to Billboard, reclaiming her first six albums. She additionally holds quite a chunk of change in real estate—she owns about $120 million in property, alongside owning a private jet worth around $23 million.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs athlete is estimated to be worth around $70 million. The star earned about $111 million for his prowess in the sport pre-taxes and agent fees, according to Forbes. He’s also reaped about $80 million off-the-field, including a part of his $100 million three-year contract for his podcast New Heights, cohosted with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce.
Other celebrity power couples: The Beckhams and Carters
The entertainment-sports duo is far from being the first power couple whose money and influence span multiple industries.
Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham and her husband, former U.K. pro-footballer David Beckham, tied the knot in 1999—and 26 years later, they’re still going strong. The iconic duo was ranked number 273 on the Sunday Times of London’s 2025 Rich List, ranking the wealthiest individuals and families who live and work in Britain. It was estimated that they are worth a combined £500 million, or around $672 million, through their stakes in fashion, sports, and music. Since 2024, their fortune has swelled by £45 million, or about $60 million. Still, their wealth is about 2.5 times lower than Swift and Kelce’s combined net worth.
However, other couples have amassed fortunes much larger than Swift and Kelce’s. The Carters are also boasting a billion-dollar powerhouse; 35-time Grammy award-winner and international superstar Beyoncé married hip-hop legend Jay-Z back in 2008, who also won 25 of the prestigious music awards. Beyoncé is currently worth an estimated $780 million, according to Forbes, thanks to her eight studio albums and recent “Cowboy Carter” tour, which became the highest-grossing country tour of all time with over $400 million in revenue.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z is estimated to be worth $2.6 billion. The producing and rapping icon has doubled his net worth thanks to his highly lucrative liquor businesses, D’USSÉ Cognac and Armand de Brignac Champagne. In 2021, LVMH acquired a 50% stake in his champagne company, and the musician also sold a majority of his shares in his cognac brand in 2023. Together, the Carters are a powerhouse sitting on $3.38 billion—twice as large as Swift and Kelce’s honeypot.
