Beyoncé becomes the fifth musician to become a billionaire, joining Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and her husband Jay-Z among the world’s wealthiest people, according to Forbes.

Earlier this month, Forbes estimated Beyoncé’s net worth at $800 million and predicted that she would cross the billionaire threshold for the first time after years of success.

Reports says, Beyoncé 2023 Renaissance World Tour earned almost $600 million, while also producing a film of her concert performance, her first solo tour in seven years, and distributed it directly through a single deal with AMC cinema chain, earning $44 million from the global box office gross.

Her 2024 album Cowboy Carter won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards — the first time Beyoncé has won the prestigious award, despite being nominated four times previously.

Forbes estimates that the Cowboy Carter tour generated more than $400 million in ticket sales and another $50 million in merchandise sales at the shows.

While the tour broke ticket records at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London and the Stade de France in Paris, it also experienced slow ticket sales that led promoters to slash some prices to fill seats. However, it still had the highest top-priced ticket for any artist visiting the UK in 2025, costing £950, while the cheapest ticket was £71.

A special halftime show for Netflix’s first Christmas Day NFL game generated around $50 million, plus an additional $10 million from Levi’s commercials, Forbes stated

Aside music, Beyoncé is a business mogul. She owns clothing and hair-care lines and has entered the drinks business with a whisky brand named after her great-grandfather, SirDavis. She also owns her own company, Parkwood Entertainment, which she founded in 2010. The company manages and produces her music, documentaries and concert tours.
