Global music icon Beyoncé has officially entered the billionaire league, according to Forbes, becoming the fifth musician in history to reach the milestone. The 44-year-old superstar joins an exclusive group that includes Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift.
Forbes reports that Beyoncé crossed the billion-dollar mark following the massive success of her Cowboy Carter tour, which grossed over $400 million in ticket sales and generated about $50 million in merchandise. The tour followed her Renaissance World Tour, which earned nearly $600 million in 2023.
While Beyoncé has expanded into businesses such as haircare brand Cécred and whiskey label SirDavis, her wealth remains largely driven by music, touring and her extensive catalogue. Additional earnings came from a Renaissance concert film, brand endorsements and a high-profile NFL halftime performance.
In 2025 alone, Forbes estimates she earned $148 million, further cementing her status as one of the world’s most powerful and successful entertainers.
