Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Net Worth May Surprise You
We already knew that billionaire power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the wealthiest musicians on the planet. But can you guess their net worth?
Jay-Z and Beyoncé are among the most powerful and wealthiest celebrities in Hollywood, but can you guess their total fortune?
In December 2023, Forbes reported that Beyoncé's net worth was valued at $800 million, almost double of what it was in 2022. Jay-Z officially reached billionaire status in 2019. Now in 2024, his real-time net worth according to Forbes is valued at $2.5 billion, which, much like his wife, is also almost double of what it was in 2022.
Currently, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's combined net worth is about $3.3 billion, earning them the title of the richest musicians on the planet. See how the power couple earned their fortune below.
Last year, Beyoncé went on her ninth concert tour for her Renaissance album, which was released in 2022. The album alone was so successful that it earned the "Halo" singer $13 million.
Though that's already an impressive number in pure album sales, the real earner was the Renaissance World Tour. According to Variety, the all-stadium tour earned approximately $579 million, with over 2.78 million attendees in 56 shows worldwide. Additionally, the concert film, which premiered on December 1, grossed a whopping $44.4 million at the box office. It's no wonder Beyoncé's net worth nearly doubled this year.
Given how well the Renaissance era performed, it's likely that the release of Beyoncé's upcoming Cowboy Carter album—which is set to release on March 29—will further bolster the singer's financial success and 2024 net worth.
With the On the Run II tour, Beyonce and Jay-Z earned more than $250 million as a follow-up to their first tour, which profited $95 million. In 2017, the rapper made $48.7 million for his 4.44 tour. Before that, in 2016, Queen Bey earned $256 million for the Formation tour, her biggest tour at the time.
Outside of music, the "Love on Top" singer's fragrance line is a success and has made about $500 million over the last decade, which is a considerable contribution to her 2024 net worth. Beyoncé has also worked with brands like Armani and Tommy Hilfiger, and made a commercial for Pepsi—according to the agreement with the soda company, the singer received $50 million in 2012. She also earns a sizable income from Ivy Park, her line of activewear with Adidas.
As for Queen Bey's rapper husband, much of Jay-Z's net worth and earnings come from his investments, liquor business, and art collection. Though widely known for his music, the rapper's catalog is worth $75 million. On the other hand, his liquor business, Armand de Brignac, is worth $310 million, with LVMH acquiring a 50% stake in the company as of 2021.
The "Empire State of Mind" rapper has made several other investments, including real estate. Additionally, he has some shares in the streaming service Tidal, Roc Nation and Roc Nation Sports, his old clothing brand Rocawear, and his restaurant chain Club 40/40, which also contribute to his 2024 net worth.
