American pop singer Taylor Swift, over the last decade, has consolidated her properties at in New York City into a compound, paying nearly $48 million in total for privacy, space, and status.
In 2014, Swift bought two penthouse units in the Tribeca area from Peter Jackson of “The Lord of the Rings” fame for $19.95 million, according to Business Insider. The home includes 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a billiards room.

Swift also acquired the townhouse next door for $18 million in 2017 and another apartment in the Sugar Loaf building for $9.75 million in 2018.
The 2017 purchase is a fully renovated century-old townhouse with a home theater, gym, guest suite, and a private terrace designed by renowned architect Leopoldo Rosati.
The Sugar Loaf building apartment is located on the second floor, which has three bedrooms, spanning 3,500 square meters.
Real estate agent Andrew Azoulay told The Wall Street Journal that he recommended Swift use the townhouse as a garage connected to the Sugar Loaf through the additional apartment, allowing private entry and exit without using the front door.
Swift’s properties in the building appear to be among the priciest sold recently, but real estate agent Noble Black said that her presence has not significantly altered the Tribeca real estate landscape.

Black also noted that Swift’s compound compares to other luxury listings in the neighborhood.
For instance, he is listing a penthouse at 111 Murray Street for $34 million, while the penthouse at 67 Franklin Street was put under contract in late 2024 for $12 million.
Swift’s property purchases seem marginal compared to her net worth, estimated at $1.6 billion by Forbes.
She became the first musician to join the billionaire club in October 2023, thanks to the earnings from her Eras Tour and the value of her music catalog.
