AFPNew York: US singer Beyonce is now a billionaire, Forbes magazine said on Monday, becoming only the fifth musician to achieve such a milestone. The 44-year-old entertainer joins a select club that includes her husband, rapper Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna, according to the publication, known for its rankings of the world’s richest people. In 2023, her Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600m. She then reinvented her musical profile in 2024 with the Grammy-winning country album “Cowboy Carter” before staging the world’s highest-grossing tour of 2025. Combining these earnings with income from her music catalogue and other deals, Forbes estimated that Beyonce brought in $148m in 2025 before taxes, making her the third highest-paid musician in the world.
