One thing about Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> is that she is one generous woman who knows how to care for her staff.<\/p>\n

People<\/a><\/em> magazine has reported that Swift, the self-proclaimed anti-hero, gave $55 million in bonuses to her team on the tour.<\/p>\n

That money, the outlet revealed, is going to \u201ccaterers, truck drivers, riggers, dancers, and more.\u201d They all received hefty bonuses. Swift, who is scheduled to perform six sold-out (of course) shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles this week, was also said to have provided truckers on her tour $100,000 each before her show in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer father was the one that actually presented the checks to our drivers,\u201d Shomotion trucking company CEO Mike Scherkenbach told TODAY<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAnd he presented handwritten letters from Taylor. It\u2019s incredible that they would take that time, and what it means to our staff to be recognized.\u201d<\/p>\n

With one city left to go on the North American leg of her Eras Tour, Swift also took to Instagram recently to look back at her most recent run and celebrate her openers, the HAIM sisters.<\/p>\n

Wrote the \u201cShake It Off\u201d singer on the social media platform this week, \u201cReally blows my mind that we have one last city on the US leg of The Eras Tour. Santa Clara this weekend was a partyyy, both crowds were so loud and rowdy. And I\u2019ll never forget when @alanahaim @estehaim and @daniellehaim emerged wearing their gowns from the Bejeweled video \ud83d\ude02 Loved every second of those shows and can\u2019t wait for LA. Playing six shows at Sofi Stadium lets goooooo.\u201d<\/p>\n

This tour is expected to gross $1 billion-plus<\/a>. Granted, gross is one thing; net is another.<\/p>\n

Say the average show generates $10 million in total revenue (even though some estimates place that number as high as $13 million.) With 130-plus shows planned, that\u2019s well over $1 billion. Then there\u2019s merchandise\u2014and album sales. And streaming. And money from Capital One, the tour\u2019s presenting sponsor. Some estimates put the total gross at $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n

Stadium fees, promoter fees, and expenses eat into that gross. After expenses, stadium costs, other fees, etc., Swift likely nets between 40 and 60 percent. To be conservative, let\u2019s call her take $4 million.<\/p>\n

That means Swift will net around $500 million from ticket sales alone. Add in merchandise sales, sponsor revenue, album sales, and streaming fees\u2026 even after expenses, Swift\u2019s net worth will likely go up between $300 and $400 million.<\/p>\n

Not too shabby. Well done, Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
