American singer Beyoncé has been declared a billionaire by Forbes magazine, becoming only the fifth musician to reach the milestone, according to the publication’s latest assessment of the world’s wealthiest entertainers.
The 44-year-old joins a select group that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna, following several years of strong earnings from music and touring.
Forbes said Beyoncé’s wealth was boosted by the success of her 2023 Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly 600 million dollars, her Grammy-winning 2024 country album Cowboy Carter, and what it described as the world’s highest-grossing tour of 2025.
