Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> is now a billionaire, according to a report<\/a> from Forbes \u2013 becoming the fifth musician to obtain the status.<\/p>\n

The Grammy award-winning artist, 44, has joined the world\u2019s wealthiest people following the success of her Cowboy Carter tour<\/a>, which grossed more than $400m in ticket sales, and an additional $50m in merchandise sales. Her previous Renaissance world tour brought in about more than $579m.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Jay-Z <\/a>,was the first musician to become a billionaire on Forbes\u2019s list in 2019. Rihanna<\/a>, Bruce Springsteen<\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/a> have also achieved the elite status.<\/p>\n

Though Beyonc\u00e9 has launched several ventures including a hair care brand, C\u00e9cred, a whiskey label called SirDavis and a clothing line called Ivy Park<\/a>, most of her personal wealth comes from her music \u2013 including revenue from her catalogue and from her global tours \u2013 according to Forbes.<\/p>\n

In 2010, she founded Parkwood Entertainment, a management and production company, bringing control of all her artistic ventures \u2013 including music, concerts and documentaries \u2013 in house.<\/p>\n

The three-hour production included guest appearances by her husband, children and former Destiny\u2019s Child bandmates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross any category of the entertainment industry, there is practically no enterprise more lucrative than a musician who can sell out stadiums,\u201d Forbes wrote \u2013 noting that the concert tour employed 350 crew members, used 100 semi-trucks worth of equipment, and required eight 747 cargo planes to move the show from city from city.<\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9 began her career as a member of the pop group Destiny\u2019s Child before launching her solo career in the early 2000s. She holds the record for most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history. The artist also made an estimated $50m for the 2024 \u201cBeyonc\u00e9 Bowl<\/a>\u201d half-time show for the NFL\u2019s Christmas game, and $10m for starring in Levi\u2019s commercials.<\/p>\n

The artist \u2013 who sang on her track Pure\/Honey, \u201cIt should cost a billion to look this good \/ But she make it look easy \u2018cause she got it\u201d \u2013 has now officially got it.<\/p>\n
