Beyonce Knowles

Beyoncé has already pulled in more than $500 million in gross earnings as a solo artist. With husband Jay Z (whose own net worth is $610 million), she has also cashed in on joint tours, multimillion-dollar endorsement deals with companies like H&M and Pepsi, and investments in companies like Tidal, the music-streaming service she and her husband co-own with Madonna and others. While most of her personal wealth comes from her music, the “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” artist has been working on a variety of projects including the launch of her hair care brand Cécred, the whiskey label SirDavis and also Ivy Park, a clothing line that was discontinued in 2024. Beyoncé also made a respectable amount of money for her recent Cowboy Carter tour, which generated over $400 million in gross ticket sales and sold an estimated $50 million in merchandise, Forbes wrote. Her cut from everything in 2025 was an estimated $125 million, the media outlet wrote, making her the third-highest paid musician in the world behind Jay-Z ($2.5 billion) and Taylor Swift ($2.1 billion).
