Queen Bey has officially joined Forbes’ Billionaire List, becoming the fifth musician to reach billionaire status following the massive success of her record-breaking tour

Beyoncé joins Forbes’ billionaire list

Beyoncé is now among the elite three-comma territory, joining a small and increasingly influential group of celebrities whose fortunes are estimated to exceed the billion-dollar mark.

Of the 22 billionaire entertainers identified by Forbes, nearly half have reached that status in the past three years, and if the latest estimates hold, she would become only the fifth musician in history to do so, alongside her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.

The 44-year-old superstar reinvented herself once again in 2024 with Cowboy Carter, a genre-blending country project that opened new commercial lanes and expanded her cultural footprint. She followed it with a Christmas Day NFL halftime performance and what became the highest-grossing world tour of 2025. Collectively, these achievements are believed to have propelled Queen Bey’s estimated net worth into billionaire territory, though formal confirmation is still pending.

According to Pollstar, the Cowboy Carter Tour grossed more than $400 million in ticket sales, while Forbes estimates an additional $50 million earned from on-site merchandise.

Together, the tour’s massive commercial footprint not only reinforced Beyoncé’s unrivaled global dominance but also played a defining role in elevating her financial empire to unprecedented heights, placing her and Jay-Z among the richest power couples in the world.
