Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> has no trouble paying her bills, bills bills. This year, the superstar joins Forbes<\/a>\u2018 annual tally of the richest self-made women, adding her name to a list that also includes Taylor Swift <\/a>and Rihanna<\/a>.<\/p>\n The publication announced Thursday (June 4) that Queen Bey made the cut for the first time, estimating her net worth at $1 billion. It comes a few months after Forbes declared her a billionaire<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe majority of pop star Beyonc\u00e9 Knowles\u2019 net worth comes from her roughly three decades as a solo performer and a member of the girl-group Destiny\u2019s Child,\u201d Forbes wrote. \u201c[She] joins the ranks after her highly grossed 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour, which brought in more than $450 million in ticket sales and merchandise.\u201d<\/p>\n Ranking at No. 39 on the list, Beyonc\u00e9 is tied with Rihanna, who\u2019s also worth an estimated $1 billion. Both are 16 slots behind Swift, whose net worth is estimated at $2 billion; other celebrities on the ranking are Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year\u2019s ranking reflects a major shift in where wealth is being created,\u201d said Forbes executive editor Luisa Kroll in a statement. \u201cWomen are building billion-dollar businesses in some of the fastest moving sectors of the economy, particularly artificial intelligence, software and consumer platforms, while also turning personal brands into powerful business empires.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s husband, Jay-Z, is a billionaire as well, thanks to his success in music, various business ventures and as the head of Roc Nation. The self-made women news comes as fans are growing more and more impatient for the Destiny\u2019s Child alum to unveil her highly anticipated \u201cAct III\u201d album, which will close out a series started by Billboard 200<\/a>-toppers Renaissance and Cowboy Carter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
