Forbes estimates Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s net worth at $1 billion, with most of her personal wealth coming from music, catalog rights and global touring. The figure is a media estimate—not a disclosed or audited account of her assets and debts—and it should not be confused with her estimated $148 million in pre-tax earnings in 2025.
How much is Beyoncé worth?
Forbes’ profile, last updated June 3, 2026, estimates Beyoncé’s net worth at $1 billion and describes her as a billionaire. Net worth is the value of assets minus liabilities; Forbes does not publish an audited personal balance sheet behind this estimate. Its profile does not disclose asset-by-asset values, debts, catalog valuation or exact ownership percentages, so the figure is best understood as an outside estimate rather than a precise public accounting.

How did Beyoncé make her fortune?
Music and catalog rights
Forbes identifies music as the primary source of Beyoncé’s personal wealth, including income connected to control of catalog rights. The public reporting does not assign a separate dollar value to those rights or state the precise share of the catalog she owns.
Global touring
Live shows are another central source of music income. The Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600 million in 2023, according to The Guardian’s 2025 report. That is the tour’s gross revenue, not Beyoncé’s personal take-home income: expenses, taxes and other obligations mean gross receipts cannot be treated as her earnings. The Guardian also reported that the 2025 Cowboy Carter tour was the world’s highest-grossing music tour that year. The Guardian’s 2025 tour report

Parkwood Entertainment
Forbes says Parkwood Entertainment produced Beyoncé’s projects, a structure it says helped her retain higher profit margins. The report does not quantify that effect or provide a separate valuation for Parkwood.
Business ventures and sponsorships
Forbes also points to sponsorship income and business ventures, including Cécred hair care, SirDavis whiskey and Ivy Park clothing. It reports that Ivy Park was discontinued in 2024; it does not say these ventures contribute more to her personal wealth than music.

Why Beyoncé’s annual earnings are not her net worth
Forbes estimated Beyoncé earned $148 million before taxes in 2025, placing her third among musicians in its report published in December 2025. That figure measures estimated income over one year. The $1 billion figure is a net-worth estimate—a snapshot of wealth after liabilities—not a second way of stating annual earnings. Neither figure is presented as a public filing of her personal finances. Forbes’ 2025 musician earnings report
