New York: US singer Beyonce is now a billionaire, Forbes magazine said on Monday, becoming only the fifth musician to achieve such a milestone.
The 44-year-old entertainer joins a select club that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna, according to the publication, known for its rankings of the world’s richest people.
Beyonce reached the landmark after several very lucrative years. In 2023, her Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600m.
She then reinvented her musical profile in 2024 with the Grammy-winning country album “Cowboy Carter” before staging the world’s highest-grossing tour of 2025.
Combining these earnings with income from her music catalogue and other deals, Forbes estimated that Beyonce brought in $148m in 2025 before taxes, making her the third highest-paid musician in the world.
