Beyoncé has officially reached billionaire status, becoming the 22nd individual to achieve this milestone, according to a report from Forbes. The announcement highlights her remarkable financial success, driven largely by her recent venture into country music and the phenomenal success of her “Cowboy Carter” tour.
The “Cowboy Carter” tour commenced in April 2024, starting with a performance in Inglewood, California. Over a span of several months, Beyoncé conducted a total of thirty-two concerts, concluding the tour in July at Paradise, Nevada. During this extensive tour, she generated over $400 million in ticket sales alone, as reported by Pollstar. Additionally, her merchandise sales during the shows contributed another $50 million to her earnings.
In March 2024, Beyoncé released “Cowboy Carter,” her eighth studio album, which has been described as a bold departure into country music. This album is part of a trilogy, with its predecessor, “Renaissance,” marking the beginning of this new musical chapter. Although she has not yet announced her next album, she discussed her future plans with GQ earlier this year, emphasizing her commitment to balancing her career with family life. “I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family,” she stated. “No amount of money is worth my peace.”
Beyoncé joins a select group of musicians who have reached billionaire status, becoming only the fifth artist to achieve a net worth of ten figures. Her husband, Jay-Z, reached this milestone back in 2019, boasting a net worth of $2.6 billion as of 2025. Jay-Z’s financial success stems not only from his extensive music career but also from various business ventures including the founding of Roc Nation and the acquisition of the streaming service Tidal.
Beyoncé’s ascent to billionaire status is a testament to her enduring influence in the music industry as well as her entrepreneurial acumen. As she continues to navigate her career, her focus on family and personal well-being remains a priority, showcasing a balance between artistic ambition and life outside the spotlight.
