According to Forbes, Queen Bey has crossed the ten-figure threshold, becoming only the fifth musician in history to achieve the milestone. She now stands alongside her husband Jay-Z and fellow icons Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen as part of music’s elite billionaire tier.

Beyoncé’s unstoppable momentum over the past few years sealed her place among the world’s wealthiest entertainers. Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour alone generated a staggering $600 million, followed by her 2024 country crossover album Cowboy Carter, which powered the highest-grossing concert tour of 2025.

Through Parkwood Entertainment, the company she founded in 2008, Beyoncé maintains full creative and financial control—managing her career, producing her music, and overseeing every element of her tours, documentaries, and visual projects. Forbes notes that this structure allows her to “front production costs and capture a larger slice of the back-end profits,” a strategy that has proven massively successful.

Her AMC partnership for Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé earned her nearly half of the movie’s $44 million global box office take, thanks to her independent distribution model. For Beyoncé, this isn’t just about wealth—it’s about ownership, vision, and legacy. She’s not just the face of her brand; she’s the architect behind every detail. As fans celebrate her new billionaire status, Queen Bey continues to redefine what it means to be an artist in control of her empire.
