Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club. Forbes has officially confirmed the 44-year-old star has crossed the 10-figure mark after a record-breaking run of tours and some strategic business moves. 

The milestone makes her one of just a handful of musicians worldwide to reach billionaire status through music, touring, and ownership of her work.

​For most artists, the Renaissance World Tour would have been a satisfying career high: a three-hour stadium spectacle in 2023 that pulled in nearly $600 million and helped cement her as one of the defining live performers of this era. 

But for Queen Bey, it was a launchpad — that momentum seamlessly transitioned into a record-breaking country era with 2024’s “Cowboy Carter” and then delivering 2025’s highest-grossing tour on the planet. 

That run, plus a blockbuster Christmas NFL halftime show on Netflix and major streaming deals, pushed the iconic star into the billionaire stratosphere.

​However, the numbers tell only part of the story. Central to her rise is Parkwood Entertainment, the company she founded to control nearly every part of her career—from tours and films to sponsorships and brand partnerships. By financing her own projects and owning her master's, she keeps a bigger share of every ticket, stream, and broadcast tied to her name.

“When I decided to manage myself, it was important that I didn’t go to some big management company,” she shared in a 2013 interview. “I felt like I wanted to follow the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire and show other women when you get to this point in your career you don’t have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success—you do it yourself.”

Beyond the stage, Beyoncé has built a portfolio of revenue streams aimed squarely at culture-shifting fans: a haircare line, Cécred, and a whiskey brand, Sir Davis, both designed to sit comfortably alongside her legacy in music. Forbes reports that touring and her music catalog still make up the bulk of her wealth, but those ventures helped secure her billionaire status.

For a generation raised on her evolution—from Destiny’s Child to global mogul—this moment lands as both flex and blueprint: build your own table, own your work, and don’t be scared to reinvent in public.
