Global superstar Beyoncé has officially joined the billionaire club.
According to Forbes, the icon has reached a net worth of more than $1 billion, making her just the fifth musician in history to achieve billionaire status. The milestone places her alongside an ultra-exclusive group that includes Taylor Swift and Rihanna, cementing her position not just as a cultural force, but as a business powerhouse.
Beyoncé’s billionaire status is the result of far more than chart-topping albums. From record-setting world tours to high-value brand partnerships and major business ventures, her success reflects a broader shift in the music industry. Today’s biggest artists are building wealth through ownership, touring, and diversified portfolios, rather than relying solely on record sales.
The achievement also highlights how modern musicians are rewriting the rules of success, turning global fandom into long-term financial empires.
