Pop icon Beyoncé has officially been named a billionaire by Forbes magazine, confirming what many fans long suspected: her influence extends far beyond music into fashion, film, business and culture. According to Forbes, Beyoncé’s fortune has surged thanks to a combination of successful music tours, record sales, streaming, savvy business ventures and a series of lucrative deals. Her earnings are boosted by her Renaissance and Renaissance World Tour success, merchandising, publishing income, and a share of profits from her high-profile brand partnerships. The billionaire designation is another milestone in Beyoncé’s storied career — one that has seen her evolve from Destiny’s Child superstar to cultural pioneer. Forbes emphasised that Beyoncé’s financial success is built on both creative excellence and business acumen, and called her “one of the most powerful entertainers in the world”.
