Beyoncé has become a billionaire, or what is known in English as a “billionaire,” Forbes reports. Knowles thus joins the elite of personalities with the greatest fortunes in the world, a list that includes names such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or Amancio Ortega.
Beyoncé has achieved this mainly thanks to the production of her music, her tours and merchandising, since since 2010 her production company, Parkwood Entertainment, has been in charge of managing all of these activities. The ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour, which was worldwide – although it did not pass through Spain – has significantly boosted his fortune, with 400 million dollars in ticket sales and another 50 million in merchandising.
Added to this are the income from his musical catalog and sponsorships, which in 2025 have brought him 148 million dollars gross, reports the aforementioned media.
Beyoncé is only the fifth musical artist to climb to billionaire status, joining her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Bruce Springsteen.
Although Beyoncé has undertaken different business projects in recent years – launching a hair care brand, a whiskey brand and a clothing line – Forbes emphasizes that the majority of her wealth comes mainly from control over the rights to her music catalog and the enormous commercial success of her tours.
