Beyoncé has officially attained billionaire status. Forbes said that the artist and entrepreneur earned $148 million USD in 2025 (pre-tax) from her music catalogue and endorsements, positioning her as the third-highest paid musician globally. She now becomes one of 22 billionaire entertainers, and is the fifth musician in this cohort, including her husband JAY-Z, Rihanna, and others.

The 44-year-old's wealth is primarily derived from her music, as she retains control over her catalogue rights and generates substantial income from touring. Her additional enterprises encompass her corporate conglomerate Parkwood Entertainment, her hair care brand Cécred, the whisky label SirDavis, and the now-defunct clothing line Ivy Park.

Notwithstanding the expenses associated with organising a large-scale event such as the Cowboy Carter tour, Queen B's mini-residency approach, featuring merely nine stadiums over 32 performances, demonstrated considerable success. The tour generated approximately $400 million in ticket sales and $50 million in product sales. Due to her own Parkwood Entertainment producing the tour, she was able to retain a greater share of money.

Beyoncé generated roughly $50 million USD with her Christmas Day NFL halftime show for Netflix and garnered over $10 million USD from her Levi’s commercials. Throughout the years, Bey has consistently established lucrative agreements to enhance her wealth. She earned nearly half of the $44 million USD generated by her RENAISSANCE world tour concert video and garnered over $60 million USD for her Beychella documentary on Netflix.
