It’s not surprising to hear that Taylor Swift has a higher net worth than Travis Kelce.
While the Chiefs tight end won’t be rummaging through the couch for extra change, his international pop star girlfriend most certainly has the bigger bank account. Kelce isn’t selling out concerts all over the world and bringing in millions of listeners like Swift is, so it’s understandable who the breadwinner of the duo is.
With that said, Kelce has competition in the Swift clan for second-place in net worth — Swift’s cat, Olivia Benson.
I know what you’re thinking: You’ve got to be kitten me (sorry, I had to get one cat pun in).
But it’s true. Over the years, Olivia Benson has pushed her net worth to the point where she is nearing nine digits on the value meter. One of Swift’s two Scottish Ford tabbies, she has accumulated quite the earnings for purrself (OK, now I’m done).
Here are more details on Swift’s cat Olivia Benson and how her net worth compares to Kelce’s.

Taylor Swift’s cat net worth
How much can a cat really be worth monetarily, you may ask? Well, you may want to sit down for this one.
You’re seated? All comfy and cozy? OK good — now let me knock your socks off.
Olivia Benson holds a net worth of $ 97 million. Yes, you read that right. If it’s easier, let’s roll it out with all the commas — $ 97,000,000.
The feline is reportedly the third-richest pet in the world, according to a 2023 study from All About Cats. Animals now are able to earn money through social media pages, just like an influencer. The Scottish Ford kitty has her own line of pet items and has starred not only in Swift music videos but also advertisements.

Travis Kelce net worth
Kelce may be one of the greatest tight ends to ever grace an NFL gridiron, and he’s earned himself plenty of dough during his time in the NFL.
With that said, his net worth doesn’t hold a candle to Miss Olivia Benson. Kelce has an estimated net worth of $ 40 million, according to Forbes.
A majority of that money comes from football. The Chiefs star is earning $ 12.1 million this year on his contract with Kansas City. To this date, Kelce has earned roughly $ 76.9 million total in his 11 years as an NFL pro.

Taylor Swift net worth
Taylor Swift has a net worth of about $ 1.1 billion, per Forbes.
Swift generated her wealth almost entirely from music. While a majority of celebrities rise to fame and then use their platform to earn money through partnerships and advertising deals, more than $ 500 million of her net worth comes from music royalties and touring, per Forbes.
In 2023 alone, Swift made an estimated $ 190 million after taxes from the first part of her Eras Tour. In addition, she got another $ 35 million from the movie of the concert called “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.”
Most of the rest of Swift’s net worth is derived from the $ 500 million valuation of her music catalog.
