Forbes magazine says Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club. She is only the fifth musician to reach the milestone.
The 44-year-old singer joins her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.
Beyoncé’s rise comes after several big years. Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600 million. In 2024, she released the Grammy-winning country album Cowboy Carter, followed by the world’s highest-grossing tour in 2025.
Forbes estimates she earned $148 million before taxes last year. Her income comes from tours, her music catalog, and various business ventures.
She also runs Parkwood Entertainment, giving her full control over her career and productions.
Experts say Beyoncé’s billionaire status shows how powerful global tours, music rights, and smart business moves can be for top entertainers.
