Among Swift’s exes and boyfriend, those in the top tier boast net worths over US$50 million, positioning American football player Travis Kelce, currently linked with Swift and valued at US$30-40 million, outside the top five.

1. Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris, 40

Harris, with his DJing achievements, has soared to the top with an estimated fortune of US$300 million, according to The Scotsman.

The couple parted ways in June 2016 after dating for 15 months, a breakup after which Harris voiced regret over his initial public reactions.

2. English singer Harry Styles, 30

With a net worth of US$120 million, Styles not only secures the second position on Swift’s list of affluent ex-partners and boyfriend but is also recognized as the most prosperous star under 30 in the U.K. by Metro.

The romance between the two pop icons spanned from the end of 2012 to the start of 2013, and they have maintained a friendship over the years since their parting.

3. American actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 44

Hailing from a distinguished Hollywood lineage, with his father being a director, his mother a scriptwriter, and his sister an acclaimed actress, Gyllenhaal is valued at US$80 million, as per Yahoo! Finance.

The relationship between the two artists, which was widely commented upon, lasted for three months commencing in Oct. 2010.

4. American singer-songwriter and guitarist John Mayer, 47

Initiating his music career in 1999 by performing in local venues, Mayer is reported by The Richest to have amassed a wealth of US$70 million. His extensive body of work, which encompasses eight studio albums, seven live albums, and numerous singles, serves as his main income source.

The liaison between the two musicians spanned from the end of 2009 to the beginning of 2010, inspiring Swift’s track “Dear John,” a song Mayer has openly criticized for its lyrical content.

5. American singer-songwriter and actor Joe Jonas, 35

According to Cosmopolitan magazine, Jonas’ wealth is estimated to be in the range of US$50-55 million.

His substantial wealth primarily stems from his career in music, notably as a member of the Jonas Brothers, the pop group he established alongside his siblings Kevin and Nick in 2005.

Not only is his acting career distinguished, but he also sporadically performs DJ sets under the moniker Cup Of Joe in vibrant cities such as Miami and New York, in addition to managing several entrepreneurial ventures, including Ohza, a company focusing on canned cocktails, and Rob’s Backstage Popcorn.

The fleeting romance between Jonas and Swift in 2008 garnered significant attention, particularly due to the notorious 25-second breakup phone call Swift revealed on “The Ellen Show.” Nevertheless, despite their history, both celebrities have displayed support for each other’s professional endeavors.

Swift, 35, initially gained recognition through her country music before shifting to pop. Her discography boasts 14 albums to date, with four being re-recordings dubbed as Taylor’s Version.

Forbes has valued her net worth at US$1.1 billion, a figure bolstered by the triumph of “The Eras Tour” in 2023.

Time magazine bestowed upon her the honor of “Person of the Year” for 2023.

Earlier this year, Swift entered the Grammy record books by securing her fourth Album of the Year trophy with “Midnights,” setting a new record for the highest number of wins in this category.
