Ja, so you see the jewel-filled bath that Taylor is sitting in up there?

That’s a $12 million tub.

She sat in it in the music video for ‘Look What You Made Me Do‘, a supposed stab at Kim Kardashian.

The point I’m trying to make here is that TayTay (as she’s affectionately known) isn’t short on cash, but, bathtub aside, she isn’t stupid with it, either.

Over the years she has invested her millions in property, starting when she was just 20.

In America, the legal drinking age is 21, so she owned a house before she could knock back a beer. Let that sink in.

Her “starter home”, writes Queensland Times, was in the centre of Nashville’s Music Row, and set her back $1,99 million.

In 2011, she bought another property in Nashville, this time a 465 square-metre Greek Revival-style mansion on almost six acres for her parents, valued at $2,5 million:

When it became necessary for Taylor to spend more time in Los Angeles, she purchased a home in Beverly Hills for $3,55 million.

She then sold it a few years later for around $4 million:

In 2012, she bought a mid-century-modern home in Los Angeles for $1,78 million, which she then sold for $2,65 million.

She’s getting some good returns on these properties.

In 2013, Taylor’s music career had really taken off, and she used the resultant funds to buy a 1,115 square-metre beach mansion in Rhode Island’s Watch Hill for $17,75 million:

By 2014, she had her eye on the neighbourhood of Tribeca in Manhattan, where she snapped up two penthouses for $20 million, which she combined to create 770sqm of living space with 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

The biggest property of them all is the Samuel Goldwyn mansion in Beverly Hills, which she purchased for $25 million:

In honour of Goldwyn’s award-winning career as a film producer and contributions to the film industry, Swift decided to restore the home to its original 1934 condition, when it was built for the Goldwyns.

In 2018, she applied for and won Los Angeles landmark status for the estate ensuring that the home will never be significantly changed or demolished.

Taylor Swift has just entered her 30s, and shows no signs of slowing down.

As of 2020, she owns about NZ$125 million in mansions and penthouses in Nashville, Rhode Island, Beverly Hills and New York, according to toptenrealestatedeals.com.

She is reportedly looking for a home in London to be near her boyfriend Joe Alwyn, a British actor.

She’ll own half of the world by the time she’s done.
