Grammy Award-winning singer Beyoncé has officially become a billionaire, cementing her place among an elite group of entertainers, according to Forbes.
The 44-year-old superstar reached the milestone following a highly profitable 2025, fueled by her Cowboy Carter album, global tour, and diverse business ventures.
She joins fellow music billionaires Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.
Forbes highlighted her Renaissance World Tour in 2023, which grossed nearly $600 million, and the Cowboy Carter Tour, which generated over $400 million in ticket sales alongside $50 million from merchandise.
Beyoncé reportedly earned $148 million in 2025 before taxes, ranking her as the world’s third-highest paid musician.
A significant portion of her wealth stems from Parkwood Entertainment, the company she founded in 2010, which gives her full control over her music, films, tours ensuring ownership rights and higher profit margins.
Beyond music, Beyoncé has expanded into hair care (Cécred), whiskey (SirDavis), and fashion (Ivy Park), though touring and music remain her primary revenue sources.
The Cowboy Carter Tour featured large-scale production across nine stadia in the US and Europe, 32 shows, and a team of over 350 crew members.
Other major income streams included a Netflix Christmas Day NFL halftime show, estimated at $50 million, and endorsement deals such as Levi’s, reportedly worth $10 million.
Despite lower album-equivalent sales than some peers, Beyoncé’s ability to sell out stadia consistently continues to distinguish her in an era where live performances drive the bulk of artists’ earnings.
Beyoncé has hinted at a trilogy of genre-spanning albums following Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, while prioritizing family and personal boundaries.
“No amount of money is worth my peace,” she said in a recent interview.
Her billionaire status reflects years of strategic control, relentless innovation, global appeal, cementing Beyoncé not just as a music icon, but as a business powerhouse.
