Forbes declares Beyonce fifth billionaire musician

Forbes has declared American singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter a billionaire, becoming only the fifth musician in the world to reach the milestone.

Forbes announced this via a report published on Monday, December 29, 2025.

The Grammy Award-winning superstar now stands alongside her husband Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna.

The financial ascent of Beyonce, 44, followed a landmark year in her career.

Beyonce took home the industry’s top trophy, winning Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy for her country album “Cowboy Carter,” released the year prior.

She also made history as the first Black woman to win the award for Best Country Album.

With 35 Grammy wins and 99 nominations, she is the most-awarded artist in the history of the awards, including those she won with Destiny’s Child, a chart-topping girl group that helped launch her storied career.

In addition to her musical achievements, Beyonce has built a diverse business empire.

She has launched successful clothing and hair care lines, and expanded into the beverage industry with a whisky brand named after her great-grandfather, SirDavis. Her entrepreneurial ventures have contributed to her growing fortune.
