Pop icon Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire ranks.
According to *Forbes*, her net worth has surpassed $1 billion following the massive success of her *Cowboy Carter* era. Her 2024 album *Cowboy Carter* and the subsequent 2024–2025 world tour proved to be career-defining, with the tour grossing more than $407 million and ranking as the highest-grossing tour of 2025.
*Forbes* reports that the 44-year-old superstar earned an estimated $148 million in 2025 alone, driven by the tour, new commercial ventures, and expanded business opportunities sparked by the album’s success. Her previous net worth estimate stood at $780 million.
A mother of three, Beyoncé has firmly established herself as one of the most powerful financial forces in entertainment.
Her rise began in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny’s Child, the chart-topping girl group that sold over 60 million records worldwide. She launched her solo career in 2003 with *Dangerously in Love* and has since sold more than 200 million records globally, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Celebrated for her groundbreaking live performances, Beyoncé has continually raised the bar for touring artists. Her 2023 *Renaissance World Tour* earned an astonishing $579 million across 56 shows, averaging roughly $10 million per night. The *Cowboy Carter Tour* continued that momentum, breaking genre barriers and debuting at No. 1 with hits like “Texas Hold ’Em.”
Beyond music, Beyoncé’s business ventures have significantly boosted her wealth. She co-founded Ivy Park with Adidas in 2016, later regaining full ownership in 2022. In 2024, she launched her luxury haircare brand, Cécred, which sold out immediately and is projected to generate approximately $100 million in revenue.
Her husband, hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur Jay-Z, is reportedly worth $2.5 billion, bringing the couple’s combined net worth to more than $4 billion.
Beyoncé now becomes the fifth musician to reach billionaire status, joining an elite group that includes Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen.
