Swansea won the Championship play-off final with a hat-trick from Scott Sinclair and one from Stephen Dobbie despite a strong Reading fight back.
Swansea now take their place in the Premier League for the first time, and it is estimated the win will net the club up to £90m.
First Minister Carwyn Jones and Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said the win would benefit Wales as well as Swansea.
More than 40,000 Swansea fans were at Wembley to see them go up and can now look forward to their team taking on the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Some of the celebrating Swansea fans had travelled to Wembley from all over the world including Canada, United States, Argentina, Trinidad, Russia, Germany, Holland, Thailand and New Zealand.
With most fans travelling by road, an estimated 200 coaches had headed to Wembley from south-west Wales.
