She is the fifth musician to reach this milestone, following the success of her ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour this year.
Forbes says in its latest cover story that the ‘Who Run The World’ singer had joined “an elite group of celebrities who have recently crossed the three-comma threshold”, with a net worth of $1billion (£780million).
She has become the fifth musician to reach the milestone, joining her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.
The publication references Beyonce’s various business ventures – including hair care brand Cécred, whiskey label SirDavis, and her now-discontinued clothing line Ivy Park, Forbes says that most of her personal wealth comes from her music, with the singer controlling the rights to her catalogue.
The report credits Beyoncé’s recent stadium hugely successful ‘Cowboy Carter‘ tour with an increase in her wealth.
The 32-show run wrapped up in July in Las Vegas, grossing $407.6M (£305.5M), per Billboard Boxscore, and becoming the highest-grossing tour this year.
Forbes estimates she brought in $148million (£109million) in 2025 before taxes, making her the third-highest paid musician in the world.
The ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour was named earlier this year as the highest-grossing country tour of all time, and it also made Beyoncé the first American artist to have two tours gross over $400million, following on from her 2023 ‘Renaissance’ tour.
