Beyoncé is now officially a billionaire, cementing her place as one of music’s biggest and most business-savvy stars.
Forbes reported on Monday (December 29) that Queen Bey’s net worth had finally crossed the billion-dollar mark thanks to a show-stopping 2025 that saw her pull in an estimated $148 million before taxes.
The 44-year-old is just the fifth musician to become a billionaire following Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and her husband JAY-Z, who is hip-hop’s richest man with an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion. Together, the Carters are by far music’s highest-value couple.
According to Forbes, the majority of Beyoncé’s personal wealth comes from her music due to the fact that she controls the rights to her enormously successful catalog and earns a substantial income from her global tours. Her most recent trek, the all-stadium Cowboy Carter Tour, generated over $450 million from both ticket sales and merch.
Of course, Bey’s business empire also includes a number of non-music ventures including a hair care brand (Cécred), a whiskey label (SirDavis) and a clothing line (Ivy Park). She also pocketed a reported $10 million from her Western-themed collaboration with Levi’s.
Becoming a billionaire is far from the only esteemed achievement on Beyoncé’s resume in recent years. In 2023, she broke the record for most wins in Grammys history (32) after claiming the award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for Renaissance.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional… and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said while holding back tears as she collected the historic trophy. “I want to thank God for protecting me… Thank you, God. I’d like to thank my uncle Johnny, who’s not here but he’s here in spirit.
“I’d like to thank my parents for loving me and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beatiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys.”
Beyoncé has since extended her career total to 35 Grammys, taking home three trophies earlier this year — including Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, her first-ever win in the coveted category.
Oh please, Beyoncé’s a billionaire because she sold a tour and a hair product? She’s basically the music world’s version of a luxury spa. If she’s got a billion, I’d like to see her pay for my cousin’s dog’s vet bill. Honestly, she’s more of a billionaire influencer than a real artist. Just… more sweatpants and less soul.
It’s all fake. All her products fail. Ye exposed it when he made comments all of a sudden he not a billionaire and Diddy got his net worth?
She had a failed line at Adidas her stuff never sells.
ChatGPT ahh comment…
I’d like to thank Beyoncé for putting the final nail in award shows. None of you can tell me 2 songs from Cowboy Carter without google. Album of the year, though. What a joke. Both of them can kick rocks. Only charity they do is for tax write-offs.
Yeah all celebrities do that all the fake activists. Also I am surprised she didn’t leave Jay Z for a white man? It actually would have helped her better with country. KMichelle thrived in country and honestly rappers from the south would too Boosie, Lil Wayne, Kodak, and NBA YoungBoy. Durk even had a country song and he’s from Chicago.
She white now too it seems from this pic.
Yeah Lebron Diddy James knows about that.
Black people never should have existed. Race mixing is what got us to this point. Ignorant whites. Had sex with barn animals and the slaves. Leading to this mess. Blame them and Native Americans.
Crybaby ahh lil’ boy.😂😂😂
Lock this witch up her and Jay Z close down RocNation!
Someone throw her a Brazzers contract before its too late.
All females in Hollywood should just go to Brazzers or wherever movies and shows are garbage and they aren’t talented for music it’s their only option. Just join the corn industry.
The devil speaks in silence. She doesn’t. May Jesus save her soul.
Blue Ivy is richer than lil’ Nasir and has more Grammys. Lil Nas wish he was Hov. Where’s Kelis????
No one said anything about that. Did RocNation pay you off?
Yeah no. Free Diddy he will end the Carters.
I suppose it has to do with being from new york city having a lot of money and blowing it all on ridiculous purchases carries a commendable connotation all the money grubbers are from there you know those slick smooth-talking assholes will screw you out of money in a new york minute good lord don’t get me started
NYC is ruined by yuppies and immigrants the Africans and bengalis now a yuppie is mayor the lower taxes guy Zohran Mamdani yet got another pay raise first day in as mayor and got one as assemblyman just another woke grifter like his buddy Hasan Piker or the democrats party and rich parents. Losing Metrocards also now an issue the trains and buses under him will be full with homeless ajd camps all over again. Hopefully they make Manhattan their home and his house. All these democrats Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jamie Raskin, Letitia James, Ohmar, Rashida, Jasmine Crockett Alvin Bragg, and their friends at agencies UTA, CAA, and Endeavor and capitalists firms like Soros, Schwab, BlackRock, Blackstone, Vanguard, Apollo, JP Morgan.
