Beyoncé has officially entered billionaire territory.
According to Forbes, the 44-year-old superstar is now the fifth musician to reach the milestone, joining an exclusive group that includes her husband Jay-Z, along with Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Bruce Springsteen.
Her recent tours have played a major role in the achievement. The 2023 Renaissance World Tour brought in nearly $600 million, while 2025’s Cowboy Carter Tour became both the highest-grossing tour of the year and the top-earning country tour ever, pulling in $407.6 million.
A key factor in her financial success is Parkwood Entertainment, her self-owned company, which allows her to keep a larger share of profits by overseeing her music career and handling production costs for her albums, documentaries, and live shows.
Beyond ticket sales, Beyoncé reportedly earned more than $50 million from merchandise tied to the Cowboy Carter Tour. Parkwood also produced her latest projects. Forbes estimates she made about $148 million before taxes in 2025 alone, placing her as the third-highest-paid musician globally.
The singer has also generated substantial income from films and special performances. She earned roughly $60 million from her 2019 Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, about half of the $44 million grossed by the 2023 Renaissance World Tour concert film, and reportedly secured $50 million for her halftime appearance during Netflix’s first Christmas Day NFL game in 2024.
