Singer-songwriter Beyonce has entered the billion-dollar club, according to Forbes. She is the fifth musician to do so.
The Forbes list currently includes 22 billionaire entertainers, and five are musicians: Beyonce, her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.
Beyonce’s financial ascent was solidified in 2025 following the massive success of her country-inspired album Cowboy Carter and its world tour, which alone grossed over $400 million in ticket sales.
Another key driver of her wealth is Parkwood Entertainment, the company she founded in 2010. It manages her production and music rights in-house, ensuring she captures a significantly higher percentage of back-end profits from tours and documentaries.
Beyonce also has a hair care brand, a whiskey label, and high-value partnerships with brands like Levi’s and Netflix.
