Thanks to her massively successful “Renaissance World Tour,” which generated $579 million in ticket sales, not to mention her sheer talent as one of the greatest vocalists of all time, Beyoncé will soon enter the ranks of the billion-dollar-net-worth club, a designation Swift achieved in October 2023.
According to Forbes, Beyoncé’s net worth, as of December 2023 was about $800 million.
Unlike some entertainers, who take on lucrative side hustles, album sales make up the bulk of Beyoncé’s fortune. She has sold a total staggering 200 million records over the course of her 20-year solo career, emblazing Beyoncé as one of the best-selling artists in history — her catalog is estimated to be worth $300 million alone.
Beyoncé’s wealth grew 48% in 2023, thanks in large part to the “Renaissance World Tour.” The tour, which spanned 39 cities across 56 dates, sold a total of 2.7 million tickets, netting her a cool $100 million. It followed her blockbuster 2022 album, “Renaissance,” Beyoncé’s first release in six years, which sold one million copies.
Billboard placed the “Renaissance World Tour” among the top-ten highest-grossing concert tours of all time, between The Rolling Stones’ 2005 “A Bigger Bang Tour,” which grossed $558 million, and Guns N’ Roses 2016 “Not in This Lifetime… Tour,” which came in at $584 million.

She also accumulated a bundle of cash through her earlier tours, earning $119.5 million from her 2009 world tour, $212 million from her 2013–2014 “On the Run” tour, $256 million from her 2016 “Formation World Tour,” and another cool $254 million from her 2018 “On the Run II” tour.
In addition to albums sold, Beyoncé’s wealth includes the lavish properties she shares with her husband, Jay-Z (who’s also a billionaire), her brand sponsorships, and the film, clothing, and musical enterprises she runs through her business, Parkwood Entertainment.
