That would not make her a billionaire. Plus, Taylor Swift is worth 2.1 billion dollars. That's nearly 4x as much.

According to this: https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-income-puts-you-top-1-5-10/

Top 1% in the U.S. is averaged at about half a million a year.

Top 0.1% is about $ 2.8 million.

In 2019 alone, Taylor Swift earned $ 185 million.

She is wayyyyy above 1% and even way above 0.1%.

I guess you know a lot more about Taylor Swift than I do.

I knew she's a billionaire, the rest is on the Internet in front of you.

I knew she was a rich entertainer. I knew Elizabeth Taylor was a rich entertainer. Entertainers today have greater income than those of the past, and yet the life styles are roughly similar.

And yes, I have the whole internet before me. I chose not to learn all the details of Taylor Swift's life. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should.

If you really feel the need to do the research, find an entertainer whose worth and fame matches Elizabeth Taylor's. I will not stop you.

I think you meant wealth and not worth
