Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club, becoming just the fifth musician in the world to reach a 10-figure fortune, according to Forbes. She now stands alongside Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, and her husband, Jay-Z.

Axar.az, citing Forbes, reports that the milestone follows a hugely successful pivot to country music. Her 2024 album Cowboy Carter and the accompanying tour helped drive massive earnings, with the Cowboy Carter Tour grossing more than $400 million in ticket sales and an estimated $50 million in merchandise.

The 44-year-old artist’s rise has been powered largely by live performances and business control. Since founding Parkwood Entertainment in 2010, Beyoncé has managed her career independently, producing her own music, films, and tours, allowing her to retain higher profit margins.

Forbes estimates that Beyoncé earned approximately $148 million in 2025, before taxes, from touring, her music catalog, and sponsorship deals, making her one of the world’s highest-paid musicians.

Despite changes in music consumption, stadium tours remain the biggest revenue driver in the industry, and Beyoncé continues to be one of its most dominant forces.
