How Taylor Swift Made Toby Keith Very Wealthy

Aug 15, 2016, 7:14 AM | Updated: Aug 16, 2016, 6:13 am

Toby Keith has more money that he will ever know what to do with. A MAJOR reason why he is a very wealthy man, an extremely smart (and lucky) investment he made many years ago.

Keith invested in Taylor Swift and her record company, Big Machine Records, before Swift hit it big.

When the“Chicago Tribune” asked if he could live off of that. Keith didn’t hesitate to answer, “Oh, yeah. No question.” He added, “If I just took the royalties from that, I wouldn’t have to do anything else. A bunch of people could live off that.”

That’s called making a savvy business decision.
