Beyoncé has officially reached billionaire status, with Forbes confirming her net worth at $1 billion as of December 2025. The business publication lists her among a very small group of musicians who have crossed the ten-figure threshold, making her just the fifth musician to do so—joining her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen.

Forbes attributes Beyoncé’s billionaire valuation largely to the success of her 2025 “Cowboy Carter Tour,” which became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of the year, bringing in more than $400 million in ticket sales and roughly $50 million in merchandise, according to industry estimates. Combined with earnings from her music catalog, sponsorship deals, and other revenue streams, Forbes estimates she earned about $148 million before taxes in 2025, ranking her among the world’s highest-paid musicians for the year.

Her pivot into country music with the 2024 Cowboy Carter album and related commercial opportunities, including a high-profile Christmas NFL halftime performance and brand partnerships, also helped boost her earnings, alongside the massive financial legacy from her 2023 Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly $600 million.

Beyoncé’s business empire extends beyond touring and music. She founded Parkwood Entertainment, which manages her creative projects and retains backend profits, and has launched consumer ventures such as her Cécred haircare line and Sir Davis whiskey brand. Owning the rights to her music catalog and controlling her productions have both been cited as key factors in her financial growth.

This update reflects the latest evaluations and reporting from Forbes and entertainment business outlets as of late December 2025, solidifying Beyoncé’s status in the billionaire ranks.
