Taylor Swift released her new single "Red" this week but she is definitely in the black. Swift is number three on Forbes magazine's annual list of Entertainment's Highest-Paid Women and at 22 she is the youngest.

I have a hard time imagining what life would have been like for me if I would have been exposed to this kind of money when I was 22. What kind of money are we talking about? Taylor earned an estimated $57 million this year!

Taylor has put out a lot of music from her teens to now 22, and she keeps it coming. Her new album "Red" comes out later this month and the first single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" has already spent three weeks in the number one spot of Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

It's a good thing Swift, who is currently dating Conor Kennedy, is earning lots of money. Because according to Marie Claire magazine Swift wants at least four kids. In an interview which will appear in the U.K. November issue, Swift says she wants "a bunch of them running around, minimum four."

I would like to know what Conor has to say about her wishes. He is the grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

Taylor appears to be moving forward with her family plans because she says she is already putting money away for their education. Now I'm imagining how much fun I could have had going to college with this kind of money.

The women who beat Taylor Swift for the number one and two positions on Forbes' list: Oprah Winfrey followed by Britney Spears.
