"They join nearly a dozen other famous A-list billionaires, including George Lucas ($5.5 billion), Michael Jordan ($3.2 billion) and Kim Kardashian ($1.7 billion)."
The 'Anti-Hero' songstress currently has a net worth of $1.1bnm and has joined Sam Altman on the list, who made $1bn through his AI chatbot ChatGPT.

Just below Elon was Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, who bagged fourth place on the list with a net worth of $172.1 bn.
