Forbes has officially declared Beyoncé a billionaire, making the global superstar the fifth musician in history to reach this remarkable financial milestone, the business magazine reported Monday.
At 44 years old, Beyoncé joins an elite club of artists whose net worth surpasses $1 billion. The select group includes her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Bruce Springsteen.
Forbes credits Beyoncé’s elevation to billionaire status to several highly lucrative ventures. Her “Cowboy Carter” tour, which became the world’s highest-grossing concert tour of 2025, grossed hundreds of millions in ticket and merchandise sales. Combined with income from her massive music catalog, commercial deals and longstanding career achievements — including her 2023 Renaissance World Tour — Beyoncé turned one of the most influential music careers into a powerful business empire.
The singer, who founded Parkwood Entertainment in 2008 to manage and produce much of her work in-house, has diversified her income through brand ventures and strategic control of her artistic output. �
