Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, has been an unmitigated charts and sales success. On Friday October 3, the day her 12th studio album was released, it racked up 2.7 million sales in a day — a new US record. Now it’s sold 3.5 million copies, beating Adele’s 2015 record of 3.378 million copies sold in the first week of her hit album, 25. And that’s all been without releasing a single single in the run-up.
It’s been the biggest opening week of her entire career, catapulting strait to the top of the charts. Bloomberg estimates her personal wealth has soared to $2.1 billion, doubling her net worth since she first cracked the billionaire club two years ago.
