US singer Beyonce is now a billionaire according to Forbes magazine becoming only the fifth musician to achieve such a milestone.<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old entertainer joins a select club that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna, according to the publication, known for its rankings of the world’s richest people.<\/p>\n
Beyonce reached the landmark after several very lucrative years.<\/p>\n
In 2023, her Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600 million.<\/p>\n
She then reinvented her musical profile in 2024 with the Grammy-winning country album “Cowboy Carter” before staging the world’s highest-grossing tour of 2025.<\/p>\n
Combining these earnings with income from her music catalog and other deals, Forbes estimated that Beyonce brought in $148 million in 2025 before taxes, making her the third highest-paid musician in the world.<\/p>\n
The publication did not provide a more specific estimate of the former Destiny’s Child member’s net worth, who founded Parkwood Entertainment to manage her career and productions.<\/p>\n
Forbes said that while Beyonce has expanded her business empire with ventures such as a hair care brand, a whiskey label and a clothing line, most of her personal wealth derives from her music, along with her global tours and controlling the rights to her back catalog.<\/p>\n
