Beyoncé Makes History on Forbes’ Prestigious List Reaching New Levels Of Success

by

Beyoncé has reached a major milestone, becoming a billionaire – one of only a handful of musicians to ever achieve this level of financial success.

As a huge movie fan, I was so excited to read this! It turns out this success didn’t just happen – it’s been ten years in the making! Apparently, it took careful planning, some really clever decisions, and absolutely incredible live shows to get here, according to Forbes.

She became a billionaire, boosted by the incredible success of her 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour, which earned more money than any other concert tour worldwide that year.

The concert was a nearly three-hour show packed with energetic performances, stunning visuals, and unexpected guests like her husband Jay-Z, their children, and fellow members of Destiny’s Child. According to Forbes, the tour brought in over $400 million from ticket sales and another $50 million from merchandise.

I’ve always been so impressed by how Beyoncé built her career – especially founding Parkwood Entertainment back in 2010. It’s amazing how she manages everything through that company, from her albums and tours to her films. It really lets her keep more of the money she earns, and I think that level of control is a huge part of her success.

During a 2013 interview about her album, Beyoncé discussed her decision to manage her own career. She wanted to be like Madonna—a strong, independent force who builds her own business. She explained that she wanted to show other women that at a certain point in their careers, they don’t need to rely on someone else and share their profits and achievements; they can succeed on their own.

While Beyoncé has expanded her business ventures with brands like Cécred haircare, Sir Davis whiskey, and Ivy Park clothing, most of her wealth still comes from her music. Forbes reports that owning the rights to her songs and managing her own tours allows her to generate significant income.

I’ve been watching Beyoncé’s career for years, and it’s been amazing to see her grow! After leaving Destiny’s Child, she really took charge in 2010, trying all sorts of cool things like dropping albums out of nowhere and making these incredible visual albums. Then, her 2023 Renaissance Tour was HUGE – it made almost $600 million! That tour really proved she’s one of the biggest stars in music, and honestly, it feels like it perfectly set the stage for how successful Cowboy Carter has become.

Beyoncé has expanded her business ventures beyond concerts through strategic partnerships and major performances. Her recent album, Cowboy Carter, was promoted with a special Christmas NFL halftime show streamed on Netflix, which is estimated to have earned her $50 million. She’s also secured profitable advertising deals, such as her work with Levi’s.

Even though Beyoncé is very successful financially, she prioritizes her family and personal life. In a recent interview with GQ, she explained that protecting her peace and family is more important than any amount of money, and she actively works to maintain those boundaries.

Beyoncé has reached billionaire status, joining a select group of musicians who have achieved the same, including Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen. Forbes estimates she earned $148 million in 2025, before taxes, making her one of the top-earning musicians globally.

Her success proves that a great combination of music, live performances, and savvy business skills can really work. Now, everyone is excited to see what kind of music she’ll create next and when she’ll return to performing.
