Taylor Swift’s $100 million real estate portfolio includes houses in Nashville, Rhode Island, and Beverly Hills

Not only is The Adelicia close to Nashville’s Music Row, but it also has a private garage, heated pool, and fitness center, according to the building’s website. 

After purchasing her penthouse, Architectural Digest reported that Swift also bought a one-bedroom unit directly below it that year for an undisclosed amount.

As of 2021, the appraised value of the apartment is over $3.7 million, according to public property records viewed by Business Insider.

Swift told Vulture that she designed the penthouse herself. When she spoke to the publication in 2013, she had a photo on display of Kanye West interrupting her at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Under the photo she reportedly wrote, “Life is full of little interruptions.”

The estate sits on 5 acres and has an appraised property value of about $3.7 million as of 2021. Although multiple outlets — including The Wall Street Journal — have reported that Swift owns the mansion, Business Insider was unable to confirm her ownership via property records in 2024. We’ve reached out to her representatives in an attempt to clarify if she still owns the property.

The Northumberland Estate is a Greek Revival-style home that was built around 1934. It formerly belonged to Guilford Dudley Jr., who served as the US ambassador to Denmark, WSJ reported.

The home, formerly known as Holiday House, was built in 1904 and previously owned by composer Rebekah Harkness, the wife of William Hale “Bill” Harkness, an heir of the Standard Oil fortune.

Swift wrote the “Folklore” album track “The Last Great American Dynasty” about Rebekah, who was a prominent socialite.

Swift reportedly paid for the home in cash. The mansion has eight bedrooms, eight fireplaces, and a pool.

“I got the house when I was in my early twenties as a place for my family to congregate and be together,” Swift told Entertainment Weekly, saying that she learned about Harkness “as soon as I was being walked through [her former Rhode Island] home.”

Swift is known for throwing Fourth of July parties at the house, which sits at the highest point in Watch Hill and offers views of Little Narragansett Bay. In 2024, several photos of her with her famous friends and now-husband were snapped at the home.

Zillow now estimates the property’s value at nearly $35 million.

Swift reportedly bought the estate from the Goldwyn family through an LLC. It belonged to the legendary Hollywood producer who was part of the iconic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio, and reportedly hosted old Hollywood stars such as Clark Gable and Bette Davis.

The mansion has six bedrooms, a tennis court, a whole apartment for guests, and a swimming pool.

In 2017, the home was granted historic landmark status, WSJ reported.

She had the penthouses converted into an 8,309-square-foot duplex, which now has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

Swift bought the penthouses from “The Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson through an LLC.

Three years later, in 2017, she bought the townhouse next door for $18 million, and in 2018, she purchased yet another apartment in the Sugar Loaf building for $9.75 million. All four of her reported NYC apartments can be linked by LLCs that share the same tax addresses on property records.

Andrew Azoulay, a real-estate agent in Manhattan, told The Wall Street Journal that he advised Swift to buy the townhouse to act as a private garage and to buy the second-floor apartment to connect the garage to her duplex in the Sugar Loaf building. 

Swift’s townhouse has been the target of break-in attempts over the years. In 2023, a man was arrested for trying to gain access to the building while Swift was attending the Kansas City Chiefs game versus the Bills in Buffalo. She still owns the property.
