The Taylor Swift economy: never before has a musician attained billionaire status based solely on earnings from their music catalogue and tours—until October 2023, when Taylor Swift’s net worth hit US$1.1 billion. (The 34-year-old childless cat lady has since added a couple hundred million to the pile, according to Forbes.) Swift is now an economic force—it’s called Swiftonomics—with the impact of her epic 152-city Eras Tour expected to exceed US$10 billion.

No 142: Pro-Spin Sports

Canada’s Top Growing Companies

Pro-Spin Sports CEO David Najgoldberg bootstrapped his eight- figure company with little more than a
laptop. After a decade working as a marketer for consumer packaged goods firms, he researched white spaces in the online sports market—and found one in table tennis. Most portable table tennis sets were sold in blister packs, but he designed a packaged version in a convenient fabric bag, ordered 500 units and launched them online in the U.S. “Once I landed on the niche, it was about putting one foot in front of the other,” he says. “I just leaned in and kept going.”

Canada’s Top Growing Companies

In the summer of 2020, Hobbiesville CEO Logan Fournier discovered his childhood binder of Pokémon cards and began selling them online. Realizing that most legacy hobby shops have outdated digital presences, he partnered with his friend Edmond Georges, a serial digital entrepreneur, to create a modern, direct- to-consumer hobby shop. Fournier left his job at Shopify and, by the end of that year, the pair made $2 million in sales. Now, the firm boasts eight- figure revenue, two brick-and-mortar stores and a strong international presence.
