Taylor Swift is rewriting the manuscript. Swift orchestrated a masterful corporate turnaround by re-recording her discography, ensuring her royalties flowed straight to her own balance sheet. After her historic Eras Tour struck a chord globally—generating a record-breaking $2.2 billion in revenue—she reinvested an estimated $360 million to buy back her original masters. By March 2026, her net worth doubled to $2 billion, cementing her status as the richest female musician in history. See how she and others made the #ForbesIconoclast50 list at the link in the bio.

“I want to believe that there’s enough light on the other side and especially just seeing how much this show means to, not just kids, but other families experiencing painful situations.” Daniel Coleman is the Danny at the center of Danny Go!, a children’s YouTube show that’s immensely popular among kids, their parents, and even educators. Coleman and the co-creators of the show—his high school friends and former bandmates—make musical children’s content that even adults can listen to. While the Danny Go! crew are finding incredible success with 4.8 million subscribers on YouTube and a new Netflix deal, Coleman has been dealing with his elder son’s rare disease and his recent passing. Coleman speaks on creating children’s content and supporting other families experiencing loss in the midst of his own. Read more about Coleman, the success of Danny Go!, and more at the link in bio.
