Beyoncé Joins Elite Club Of Forbes As Fifth Music Billionaire

American singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Beyoncé has become a billionaire, joining the ranks of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, and her husband Jay-Z as one of the few musicians to achieve this remarkable milestone, according to Forbes.

“For almost any other musical artiste, The Renaissance World Tour would be a career peak. The three-hour, career-spanning journey through Beyoncé’s discography was one of the concert sensations of 2023, grossing nearly $600 million and cementing her place, alongside Taylor Swift, as one of the biggest pop culture icons in the world,” the famed business magazine wrote.

“But the 44-year-old pop supernova reinvented herself in 2024, releasing a country album, Cowboy Carter, that would generate new commercial opportunities, a Christmas NFL halftime performance, and the world’s highest-grossing concert tour of 2025, ultimately earning Queen Bey another title of distinction—billionaire.

“She now joins an elite group of celebrities who have recently crossed the three-comma threshold—of the 22 billionaire entertainers Forbes has identified, nearly half were added in the last three years—and she becomes just the fifth musician, joining her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.”

The 44-year-old music icon’s success can be attributed to her record-breaking tours, including the Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly $600 million in 2023, and the Cowboy Carter Tour, which generated over $400 million in ticket sales and $50 million in merchandise in 2025.

Beyoncé’s business ventures, managed through her entertainment company Parkwood, have also contributed significantly to her billionaire status.
