Taylor Swift

Pop star Taylor Swift is known for performing random acts of kindness for her friends. Swift, who grew up on a Christmas tree farm and saw her mother prepare handmade grape jelly every year for the holidays, has turned one of these acts of kindness into a hobby of sorts. This practice encouraged her to create her own brand of jellies and jams, which she distributed to her closest friends.

She made her country music breakthrough in 2006 with her self-titled first studio album, which featured the hits Teardrops on My Guitar and Our Song. Swift’s second studio album, Fearless, a country-pop record with crossover appeal, catapulted her to national popularity. Now, 16 years after her first album release, the former 17-year-old from Nashville is now worth a whopping $400 million. As one of the most successful music artists ever, her massive wealth must have led her to hire a financial advisor.
