Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club, according to Forbes. She’s the fifth musician to achieve this milestone, joining her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.
A Career of Success
Beyoncé’s success is no overnight story. She formed the girl group “Girl’s Tyme” in 1990, which later became “Destiny’s Child”. The group won two Grammys in 1999 and eventually disbanded, leading Beyoncé to pursue a solo career.
Solo Career and Business Ventures
Her debut solo album, “Dangerously in Love”, dropped in 2003 and dominated charts worldwide. In 2010, she founded Parkwood Entertainment, giving her control over her music, documentaries, and concerts. This move has allowed her to capture more of the back-end economics.
Recent Achievements
- The “Renaissance World Tour” (2023) grossed over $500 million and drew 2.7 million concertgoers.
- “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” topped the box office, grossing $21 million in its opening weekend.

Beyoncé’s business ventures extend beyond music, including a hair care brand (Cécred), whiskey label (SirDavis), and clothing line (Ivy Park). Her partnership with Levi’s reportedly earned her $10 million.
Net Worth
Forbes estimates Beyoncé’s net worth at $1 billion, driven by her music, tours, and business ventures. She’s the third-highest paid musician in 2025, earning $148 million before taxes.
