Beyoncé Joins The Billionaire Club After Concluding Highest-Grossing Country Tour Of All Time

As Beyoncé put it, "always stay gracious [the] best revenge is your paper." And she's living that truth, as a new report confirms that the superstar musician, who started her illustrious career in the '90s as part of the iconic girl group Destiny's Child, is a certified billionaire. The milestone achievement comes just months after the "RENAISSANCE" artist wrapped up her highly successful "Cowboy Carter Tour," which reigned as the highest-grossing tour of 2025.

Beyoncé Reaches Billionaire Status After Her Commercially Successful Country Album And Tour

According to a new report from Forbes, Beyoncé's genre-bending eighth studio album, which spawned the hits "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," proved lucrative for the legendary musician, helping catapult the singer over the 10-figure fortune line. With her new title, Beyoncé becomes the fifth musician to reach this milestone net worth and the third Black musician, alongside Rihanna and her husband, Jay-Z.

Beyoncé's 2023 "Renaissance" world tour grossed nearly $600 million, stopping in cities around the United States and Europe. But Forbes credits the singer's Netflix halftime special, "Beyoncé Bowl," and her "Cowboy Carter" album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, for providing the icon with fresh opportunities and a chance to join a stellar list of her peers, which also includes Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen.

Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' Tour Was The Highest-Grossing Of 2025 ... And Also Earned Another Title

According to a previous report from The Blast, Beyoncé made headlines in the summer of 2025 after official figures confirmed that the mother of three's show grossed $407.6 million at the box office after selling 1.6 million tickets. With that, the "Cowboy Carter" tour was named the highest-grossing country tour of all time.

The show, which featured lights, fireworks, flying horseshoes, and a surprise Destiny's Child reunion, also earned other accolades while on the road. At SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the singer became the highest-grossing artist in the venue's history after grossing more than $101 million across five shows.

On the other side of the US, in Chicago, Beyoncé set the record for the highest-grossing run on a single tour after grossing $42.5 million.

Beyoncé's latest accomplishment comes nearly a year after the singer stunned the industry when she won three Grammys for her country album during the 2025 ceremony. In addition to winning the award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her work on "II MOST WANTED" with Miley Cyrus, Queen Bey also went home with the awards for Best Country Album and Album of the Year.

Speaking with Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight, Beyoncé called the moment "very surreal," adding that she's put her blood, sweat, and soul into her work for the last 25 years. "I'm very honored," she said. "The love I got from the country community tonight made me feel so seen, and I'm very grateful."

Later in the year, Beyoncé's visual special, "Beyoncé Bowl," earned an Emmy award for Outstanding Costumes For A Variety, Nonfiction, Or Reality Program.

"This show was a reclamation of space as well as a visual love letter to Black cowboys, country-music icons, Texas legends, and Black culture," said Shiona Turini, one of the production's costumers.

With the latest win, Beyoncé is halfway to EGOT status.

Luke Bryan Opens Up About Bey's CMA Snub

Beyoncé's journey into country wasn't as smooth sailing as it may seem. According to a previous report from The Blast, Beyoncé faced industry pushback, which was apparent during the 2024 CMA Awards. Despite becoming the first Black woman to have a No. 1 country single, Beyoncé received zero CMA nominations—a move that many in the BeyHive voiced their frustration over.

However, country music star Luke Bryan fired back while speaking with Andy Cohen, saying, "It's a tricky question because, obviously Beyoncé made a country album and Beyoncé has a lot of fans out there that have her back. And if she doesn't get something they want, man, they come at you."

He added, "I'm all for everybody coming in and making country albums and all that. But just by declaring that, just because she made one. I don't need [a nomination], just 'cause I make one."

Bryan went on, urging the Texas-born artist to try being a little more country. "Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody's mad about it. But where things get a little tricky and, and you know — if you're gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us a little bit. Beyoncé can do it exactly what she wants to. She's probably the biggest star in music," he said.

"But come to an award show and high-five us, and have fun and get in the family too," he continued. "And I'm not saying she didn't do that."

Queen Bey Gets The Last Laugh Despite Reports That She Couldn't Sell Tickets

Beyoncé's most recent achievement seems like a fitting rebuttal to earlier reports that claimed the 44-year-old was struggling to sell tickets to her "Cowboy Carter" tour, and fans can't get enough.

"This is insane," someone wrote. "This is my ethical billionaire." They added, "The first Black woman to become a billionaire through her music. My mother became a billionaire through her music alone they swore don't sell? This is Black Excellence. This is my model capitalism!"
