Beyoncé is now a billionaire, Forbes reports, joining a select group of musicians including Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.
NEW YORK: Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club, according to Forbes magazine.
The publication confirmed the US singer’s billionaire status on Monday, making her only the fifth musician to achieve the milestone.
The 44-year-old entertainer joins a select group that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.
Beyoncé reached the landmark after several highly lucrative years.
Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly USD 600 million.
She then reinvented her musical profile in 2024 with the Grammy-winning country album “Cowboy Carter”.
This was followed by staging the world’s highest-grossing tour of 2025.
Forbes estimated that Beyoncé brought in USD 148 million in 2025 before taxes.
This made her the third highest-paid musician in the world that year.
The publication did not provide a more specific estimate of her net worth.
Beyoncé, a former member of Destiny’s Child, founded Parkwood Entertainment to manage her career and productions.
Forbes said she has expanded her business empire with ventures like a hair care brand, a whiskey label and a clothing line.
However, most of her personal wealth derives from her music, global tours and controlling the rights to her back catalog.
