Beyoncé can put yet another accolade on her overflowing shelf!

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter officially became a billionaire, according to Forbes, with her net worth crossing the $1 billion mark recently, boosted by her record-breaking Renaissance and Cowboy Carter tours, her extensive music catalog, Parkwood Entertainment, and successful ventures like her Cécred hair care line.

She joins an elite group of musicians, including her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna, achieving self-made billionaire status through a diverse, fiercely controlled business empire built over decades. 

Key Drivers of Her Billionaire Status:

• Music & Touring: Massive earnings from massive tours (Renaissance World Tour, Cowboy Carter Tour) and ownership of her valuable music catalog.
• Parkwood Entertainment: Her own company, which produces her music, films, and tours, allowing her to control her career and capture more profits.
• Business Ventures: Success with her Ivy Park clothing line (with Adidas) and the recent launch of her Cécred haircare line.
• Endorsements & Film: Income from high-profile sponsorships and film projects.
