igoodnews: billionaire bey...

back in 2023, forbes told the world that beyonce was worth 800 million bucks. fast forward to 2026, and beyonce is back on the billionaires list, and forbes has officially welcomed her with open arms.

from her concert in dubai, to her launch of cecred, for many it was just a matter of time before the powerhouse singer was officially announced as a billionaire. while many said it was greedy because her titan husband, shawn "hov" carter also known as rapper Jay-Z accumulated his billionaire wealth in 2019. many spouted that the disney voice of nala, beyonce giselle knowles carter, was already a billionaire twice before. the interviews of her father, matthew knowles, has suggested that in the past along with references made in prior music tracks of the two.

while some are skeptical and while other say it is well deserved, one thing remains true, on dec. 29th 2025, forbes made an article of beyonce becoming a billionaire and by jan. 1 2026, the internet went into a frenzy! with viral videos from content creators, influencers, dancers & long time friends of the artists going into immediate congrats!

since the announcement, beyonce has unveiled her cecred hair care line in LA, hinted towards a third tour & presented her daughter blue ivy carter into the dance world.

this billionaire stat comes after a very controversial pivot into country music with cowboy carter. In total, the Cowboy Carter Tour made more than $400 million in ticket sales and another $50 million in merchandise sold at the shows. "because Parkwood produced it all, Beyoncé was able to secure higher profit margins. Combining what she made touring with earnings from her music catalog and sponsorship deals this year, Forbes estimates she brought in $148 million in 2025 before taxes, making her the third-highest paid musician in the world."

"For Cowboy Carter, she did a special halftime show for Netflix’s first Christmas Day NFL game—collecting an estimated $50 million, including production costs—and leaned into her new Western aesthetic with a series of Levi’s commercials, pocketing an estimated $10 million'...' this still was less than half of what was made by her peer group like, carpenter." says forbes. so how did she reach it?

well, beyonce doesnt only tour. she has unleashed, cecred, a hair care line... she also has her own brand of liquor, which is called sir davis. added to that is the fact that she also has her own entertainment company "parkwood" .. and we cant forget the viral sensation clothing line, by her, called ivypark. ivy park has come a long way from being "house of dereon". if you know, you know.

over time, beyonce has also put out her own perfume, she has also dabbled in endorsements like pepsi and has worked with historic major brands like addidas, levi's and netflix. with another tour highly suggested and anticipated, there is no reason to believe that the well will run dry at all. setting up a legacy for herself & her family, she has turned critics into supporters with sheer consistency & passion. beyonce has not only made it clear that she can sell out stadiums but she has shown repeatedly that she can do so with high prices.

the artist has emphasized that she puts family first and therefore does not consider the dollar over her peace & to give such a production we believe the prices are worth it. as a reminder, she was the first female artist to headline an all-stadium tour in 2016, and made history with coachella being featured in the ending of one of tyler perrys movies as a madea character dressed like her. beyonce has become a staple trendsetter so billionaire bey rings a bell that is a fine tune.

we are so happy to hear it. congrats to beyonce.
