Joining her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna, Beyoncé is now one of 22 billionaire entertainers, according Forbes.
Only the fifth musician to join this unique group, while the superstar songstress has embarked on a variety of business ventures, her primary wealth stems from her music where she reportedly controls the copyrights to much of her catalog, and all of her creative output – including music and documentaries to tours – that is produced under the Parkwood Entertainment umbrella of her company.
Because Beyoncé invests a substantial amount of the money for her creative endeavors, she is able to recognize more of the profits. For example, her 2025 tour in support of Cowboy Carter grossed a whopping $407.6 million from just 32 concerts, making it the “shortest” tour to ever reach $400,000,000 (per Billboard Boxscore, which collects touring data). Merchandise sales from the Cowboy Carter tour — which Parkwood produced – netted her an additional $50,000,000 just several years after Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour amassed $579,000,000 in 2023.
Additional lucrative Beyoncé’s ventures include her halftime show for Netflix’s first Christmas Day NFL game last year (an estimated $50,000,000), and an advertisement deal with Levi’s was reportedly worth about $10,000,000. Though her clothing line, Ivy Park, was discontinued in 2024, the concert film she produced for her Renaissance tour made about $44,000,000 in global box office earnings, and she also has her own hair care brand and whiskey.
The biggest thing on Bey’s 2026 calendar is co-chairing the Met Gala alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, for what will be her first time attending the prestigious event in ten years.
While no details about her forthcoming full length have yet to be revealed, fans of the superstar musician are hoping that Mrs Carter will share “Act III,” the third installment of her reported album trilogy, which began with Renaissance and continued with Cowboy Carter.
