Beyoncé has officially joined the ranks of billionaire musicians, joining her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen. Her latest milestone comes after a career-spanning journey of musical reinvention, business acumen, and blockbuster touring.

Following the 2023 Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly $600 million, Beyoncé released a country-inspired album in 2024 titled Cowboy Carter. The album led to the world’s highest-grossing concert tour of 2025 and a Christmas NFL halftime performance, further solidifying her commercial empire.

Beyoncé founded Parkwood Entertainment in 2010, taking control of nearly every aspect of her career, from music production to tour management, ensuring higher profit margins. Her diverse ventures also include a hair care brand, whiskey label, and formerly a clothing line.

The Cowboy Carter Tour featured elaborate stage setups, including a flying car, robotic arms, and appearances from her family and former Destiny’s Child bandmates. The tour grossed over $400 million in ticket sales, with an additional $50 million in merchandise. Forbes estimates her total earnings in 2025 at $148 million before taxes.

Beyoncé has described her recent albums as part of a trilogy exploring different genres, balancing career ambition with family life. She emphasized her commitment to protecting her peace and boundaries, prioritizing her family over financial gain.
