Beyoncé has officially joined the ranks of billionaire entertainers, cementing her status as one of the most successful and influential musicians in the world.

While most artists would consider a major tour the highlight of their career, Beyoncé has repeatedly reinvented herself to reach new heights. Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour, a three-hour celebration of her biggest hits, grossed nearly $600 million and solidified her position alongside Taylor Swift as a global pop culture icon.

In 2024, she continued to expand her creative and commercial reach. She released a country album, Cowboy Carter, delivered a Christmas NFL halftime performance, and headlined the world’s highest-grossing concert tour of 2025—moves that ultimately pushed her net worth past the billion-dollar mark.

According to Forbes, Beyoncé joins an exclusive club of 22 billionaire entertainers, nearly half of whom reached that milestone in the last three years. She becomes just the fifth musician to achieve billionaire status, alongside her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.

Her financial success is the result of careful business planning. In 2010, she founded Parkwood Entertainment, giving her control over nearly every aspect of her career. The company manages her music, documentaries, and tours, covering most production costs to maximize earnings and capture a larger share of the revenue from her work.
