Beyoncé Officially Billionaire, Says Forbes

Beyoncé has officially reached billionaire status, solidifying her position as both a global music icon and a powerful business leader.

After rising to fame with Destiny’s Child, she took full control of her career by launching Parkwood Entertainment in 2010, overseeing her music, films, touring, and brand strategy. This move allowed her to retain a larger share of profits and build a self-owned entertainment empire.

Touring has been a major driver of her wealth. The Renaissance World Tour grossed about $600 million, while her 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour became the highest-grossing tour of the year, earning over $400 million, plus tens of millions in merchandise sales. Cowboy Carter also won the 2025 Grammy for Album of the Year.

Beyond music, Beyoncé expanded into film, fashion, and consumer brands. 

Her partnership with Levi’s, along with ventures like SirDavis whiskey and Cécred haircare, added significantly to her income. Cécred became Ulta Beauty’s most successful prestige haircare launch ever.

In 2025 alone, Beyoncé reportedly earned $148 million, ranking her as the third-highest-paid musician globally. According to Forbes, these ventures have officially pushed her net worth beyond $1 billion, placing her among an elite group of self-made billionaires in entertainment.
