Spotify CEO Daniel Ek Is Richer Than Any Musician—Yes, Even Taylor Swift
On the Forbes billionaires list, Taylor Swift is the only musician to have gained her billionaire status from the sale of music alone. Both Rihanna and Jay-Z have highly successful side hustles that drove their billionaire status. Beyoncé is worth around $600-$800 million and her net worth is driven primarily by album sales, but she has not crossed the billionaire threshold yet.
An X/Twitter user has highlighted just how much more Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is worth from his music platform. “Did you know the CEO of Spotify is wealthier than any musician in history—and has 4X the net worth of Paul McCartney? Now you do. There’s more money in disrupting music than creating it,” the tweet reads.
