Beyoncé Joins Billionaire Club, Proves Tour Merch Sells Better Than Bitcoin

KEY POINTS

  • Beyoncé was declared a billionaire by Forbes on December 23, 2025, thanks to her Cowboy Carter tour's massive success.
  • She became the fifth musician billionaire, joining Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, and her husband Jay-Z.
  • Her Grammy-winning status combined with this fortune secures her place among music's highest earners.

In the economics surprise of the year — and by year, we mean just this Monday — Beyoncé officially joined the billionaire ranks courtesy of the Cowboy Carter tour's gold-dusted success, as declared by Forbes on December 23, 2025. This marks her as the fifth musician ever to snag a billionaire badge, joining Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, and her husband Jay-Z, whose business savvy apparently didn’t rub off on his family BBQ recipes. The Grammy-winning superstar’s financial cowpoke quest saddled up not by moonwalking through chart-toppers, but arguably by lassoing the wallets of millions craving a Beyoncé souvenir. This billionaire roundup reads like a Who’s Who of music and money — with Beyoncé now out here blessing ranchers and rockers alike.
