Beyoncé Officially Becomes Billionaire Following Record-Breaking Tours and Business Ventures

Beyoncé has reached a milestone few musicians ever achieve—joining the ranks of billionaire entertainers. While most artists would consider a career-defining tour their peak, Beyoncé has continuously reinvented herself to reach new heights.

Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour, a three-hour journey through her biggest hits, grossed nearly $600 million and solidified her status as one of the biggest pop culture icons in the world, alongside Taylor Swift.

But Beyoncé didn’t stop there. In 2024, she released a country album, Cowboy Carter, performed at the Christmas NFL halftime show, and completed the world’s highest-grossing concert tour of 2025—moves that ultimately pushed her net worth past the billion-dollar mark.

She now joins an elite group of 22 billionaire entertainers identified by Forbes, nearly half of whom have reached the milestone in the last three years. Beyoncé is only the fifth musician to achieve this, joining her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.

Her rise to billionaire status has been built on strategic business decisions. In 2010, she founded Parkwood Entertainment, taking control of almost every aspect of her career. The company handles her music, concerts, and documentaries, fronting most production costs to ensure she captures a larger share of the profits.
