Beyonce achieved a new title that few musicians have achieved before her, becoming the fifth musician ever to become a billionaire.
The 44-year-old singer joined Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and her husband, Jay-Z, in the billionaire club.
Queen Bey’s latest milestone added to her already long list of achievements this year, including album of the year win at the Grammys for her album, Cowboy Carter.
The Diva Hitmaker also won the title of the highest-grossing concert tour of 2025.
Along with a highly successful and culturally significant musical career, Beyonce is also a businesswoman, and her company, Parkwood Entertainment, which she founded in 2008, manages the business side of her craft.
The official Forbes release revealing Queen Bey’s billionaire status detailed: “In total, the Cowboy Carter Tour grossed more than $400 million in ticket sales, per Pollstar, and an additional $50 million in merchandise sold at the shows, according to Forbes estimates. And because Parkwood produced it all, Beyoncé was able to secure higher margins.”
It went on to explain that Beyonce’s tour earnings and revenues from her music catalog are estimated to be “$148 million in 2025 before taxes, making her the third highest paid musician in the world.”
