What’s better than one billionaire? Two.
Beyoncé has reached billionaire status, joining her husband, Jay-Z, and several other musicians, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, in the elite club.
The “Drunk In Love” singer, 44, has earned “most” of her 10-figure fortune thanks to her record-breaking world tours and owning the rights to her music catalog, according to a new report by Forbes.
Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour reportedly grossed more than $400 million in ticket sales and another $50 million in merchandise sold at the shows.
Since Beyoncé’s entertainment company, Parkwood, solely produced the tour, she was able to secure even more profit.
Forbes reported that in 2025, the “Cuff It” singer brought in $148 million before taxes from touring with earnings from her music catalog and sponsorship deals.
To accompany the release of her Grammy-winning country album, Beyoncé performed a special halftime show for Netflix’s first Christmas Day NFL game, for which she garned an estimated $50 million, including production costs.
Beyoncé also made an estimated $10 million with her Levi’s deal and received about $60 million from Netflix for a three-special deal that included her 2019 “Homecoming” documentary.
In addition to her successful music career, Beyoncé has also brought in millions from the launch of her hair care line, Cécred, and her whiskey business, Sir Davis.
While the exact numbers were not reported for these businesses, Cécred became “the number one prestige hair care launch in [Ulta’s] history,” according to the cosmetic store’s chief merchandising and digital officer, Lauren Brindley.
In a 2014 interview, Beyoncé explained why she decided to create her own entertainment company, which released her surprise fifth self-titled visual album.
“When I decided to manage myself, it was important that I didn’t go to some big management company,” she said at the time.
“I felt like I wanted to follow the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire and show other women when you get to this point in your career, you don’t have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success — you do it yourself,” the mom of three added.
Page Six has reached out to Beyoncé’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s husband, Jay-Z, became the first hip-hop billionaire in 2019.
The “99 Problems” emcee (real name: Shawn Carter) amassed his fortune through his music and business endeavors, including his liquor company, Armand de Brignac, and music streaming company Tidal, which Jay sold to Jack Dorsey’s company for around $300 million.
