Beyoncé is now recognized as a billionaire by Forbes, marking her as the fifth musician to reach this financial milestone. The 44-year-old artist joins the ranks of her husband, Jay-Z, along with Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna. Forbes attributes this achievement to her recent success with her Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly $600 million, solidifying her position among the wealthiest musicians globally, according to CBS News and Le Monde.

Beyoncé further expanded her musical legacy with the Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter, released in 2024, and the upcoming highest-grossing tour of 2025. Her diverse earnings also include music catalog royalties and various lucrative business deals, which Forbes estimates will total $148 million in 2025 before taxes, highlighting her as the third highest-paid musician worldwide, according to Channel News Asia and BBC.

In addition to her musical revenue, Beyoncé's business ventures play a substantial role in her wealth. She founded Parkwood Entertainment and has launched several brands, including a new hair care line and a whiskey label. Despite these ventures, the majority of her wealth originates from her music career and global tours, according to CBS News and Le Monde.
