Beyoncé is officially a billionaire.
According to Forbes, Beyoncé has become just the fifth musician to reach a billion-dollar net worth, joining the ranks of Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, and Taylor Swift.
Forbes reports that Beyoncé cemented her billionaire status with her 2024 album, Cowboy Carter. The groundbreaking project produced the highest-grossing country tour in history in 2025 and opened new commercial opportunities, including a Christmas Day NFL halftime show.
While Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023 grossed nearly $600 million and was widely considered a career peak, the 2025 Cowboy Carter tour generated more than $400 million in ticket sales, with an estimated additional $50 million in merchandise sales.
Much of Beyoncé’s wealth also stems from her decision to take control of her career through Parkwood Entertainment, which she founded in 2010. The company manages her music, tours, films, and documentaries, allowing her to retain ownership of her catalog and secure higher profit margins.
In addition to music, Beyoncé has expanded into business ventures, including her hair care brand Cécred and whiskey label SirDavis.
Forbes estimates Beyoncé earned $148 million in 2025 before taxes, making her the third-highest paid musician in the world that year. Beyoncé continues to dominate live performance, which is now the most lucrative segment of the music industry.
