Beyoncé Declared a Billionaire by Forbes Magazine

new York: US singer Beyonce is now a billionaire, becoming only the fifth musician to achieve such a milestone, Forbes magazine said on Monday.

According to the publication known for ranking the richest people in the world, the 44-year-old artist joins an exclusive club that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.

Beyoncé reached this milestone after several very profitable years.

In 2023, the Renaissance World Tour grossed approximately $600 million.

He then reshaped his musical profile with the Grammy-winning country album “Cowboy Carter” in 2024, followed by the world’s highest-grossing tour in 2025.

Combining these earnings with income from her music catalog and other deals, Forbes estimates that Beyonce will earn $148 million before taxes in 2025, making her the third highest-earning musician in the world.

The publication did not offer a more specific estimate of the net worth of the former Destiny’s Child member, who founded Parkwood Entertainment to manage her career and productions.

Forbes said Beyoncé has expanded her business empire with ventures such as a hair-care brand, a whiskey brand and a clothing line, but most of her personal wealth comes from her music as well as her worldwide tours and controlling the rights to her back catalogue.
