This probably won’t come as much of a shock to you, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z are very rich. Like, “I swim around in literal pools of money” rich. But have you ever taken a moment to daydream about just how much money Bey and Jay have in their bank accounts? Because it’s more than a billion. That’s a billion with a “b.” Well, for Beyoncé, of course. Which, again, most likely doesn’t shock you considering the singer topped record books as the most awarded female artist in Grammys history after she took home her 28th (!!) award in 2023. And Jay’s decades-long music—and business—career is anything but shabby. Not! To! Mention! Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour made her literal millions from the in-person stadium tour and its theatrical release—and she’s well on her way to becoming a billionaire, too.

Let’s break down where all their money comes from, including Beyoncé’s net worth *plus* her combined fortune with Jay-Z. But first, proof of those pools of money I was talking about:

Bey Haw!!! 🤠

Beyoncé is the big winner when it comes to single sales, having (so far!) made $114.5 million in digital singles, while her husband has earned $33.5 million. But the two are a bit more head-to-head when it comes to album sales: He’s made an impressive $33.5 million, while Beyoncé’s made $30.5 million.

Their Tours

Bey and Jay’s On the Run II Tour grossed $250 million—and that’s only the beginning. Their first (much shorter) On the Run Tour grossed $95 million. Jay’s 2017 4:44 Tour grossed $48.7 million, and Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour was *the* highest-grossing tour of 2016, earning $256 million. Like…HOW DOES THAT MUCH MONEY EVEN EXIST ON PLANET EARTH? BRB, taking a moment to fan myself:

Giphy

Fun fact: Beyoncé reportedly made more than $3 million for her appearance at Coachella in 2018. Her set lasted 105 minutes. By my (highly advanced) calculations, that means she earned $28,571.43 per minute! More recently, in January 2023, the celeb performed at the grand opening for the Atlantis The Royal Grand reveal weekend in Dubai, which btw was her first show in five years (!!). It was reported that Bey was apparently paid $24 million for the private, one-hour set, and I would just once again love to employ my arithmetic skills and break that down to $400,000 per minute lololololol.

Bey recently wrapped her Renaissance Tour, which quite literally took the world by storm. According to Forbes, Bey earned an estimated $100 million (post-tax) from the Renaissance World Tour. However, she then continued to rake in the dough, as the concert also played in theaters for months.

Oh, and with the release of Bey’s Act II album, Cowboy Carter, she def had another No. 1 in the bag. According to Headline Planet, the country record shot up to the top of iTunes’s US album sales chart when it first dropped, solidifying its almost instant success.

There are no deets on how much $$$ she’s made from the album, but we can only guess that it’ll be more than enough to buy out entire ranches and 16 carriages made by Tesla.

Beyoncé’s Merch

Remember when Beyoncé and her mom, Tina Knowles, started House of Deréon? Well sadly, that stylish venture is no more, but Bey’s fashion star rose from the ashes like a phoenix and gifted the world Ivy Park! Her debut collection nearly sold out the second it hit Topshop, and her most recent Adidas collections have also been wildly popular—so Beyoncé undoubtedly took home hefty profits. Oh, and speaking of profits, lest you forget Bey also launched her own perfume line back in the day. As of 2013, she’s sold $400 million worth of fragrance, and dropped her latest one back in October 2023! Wouldn’t you pay serious $$$ to smell like Beyoncé?

Bey’s Endorsements

These days, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are kiiinda too cool for your basic celebrity sponcon (the moment I see Beyoncé use a #ad hashtag is the moment I give up), but Bey still has *plenty* of endorsements under her belt. She’s worked with brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Armani, and who can forget that $50 million deal she had with Pepsi, which she inked in 2012?

The only thing that could put that Pepsi deal to shame is Bey and Jay’s 2021 partnership with Tiffany & Co. for its “About Love” campaign, where Beyoncé is wearing the brand’s iconic 128-carat yellow diamond. Needless to say, if Tiffany’s dug out the big diamonds for this, it probably dished out the mega-big bucks for Bey and Jay too.

Watch on

On top of that, Bey’s invested into companies she believes in—like hydration brand Lemon Perfect, which Forbes said was worth $150 million as of February 2023.

Bey’s Movies

Beyoncé has starred in multiple movies (ahem, The Lion King, anyone?), most of which were produced by studios that don’t disclose salary information. That said!! It *has* been reported that the singer earned $12.5 million for Dreamgirls, which was twice as much as she earned for Austin Powers. I mean, can we get a little commotion for that payday?!?!

Another mind-blowing tidbit we know about Bey’s film salary? Netflix agreed to pay her a whopping $60 million for three projects—including Homecoming!

And, ofc, we can’t forget Bey’s Renaissance film that hit theaters in December 2023. Fun fact: After being out in theaters for a little over a month, it had already raked in more than $44 million at the global box office. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Tidal and Roc Nation

‘Kay, this is where major money comes into play. Jay-Z bought Tidal for $56 million, and back in 2018, Forbes reported that it was worth $600 million. But, uh, nowadays? Forbes reported in March 2021 that Jay-Z’s net worth jumped 40 percent thanks to selling a majority stake in Tidal for $297 million. According to the outlet, Jay netted out $149 million in cash and stock.

So yeah, he earned a LOT from that particular investment. Oh, and Bey also owns part of Tidal and ingeniously made Lemonade exclusively available on the platform when it first came out, prompting people like yours truly to sign up. She pulled a similar move when she announced her Cowboy Carter singles, “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em,” as they were exclusively available on Tidal during the Super Bowl before they dropped on other streaming platforms. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All of Jay-Z’s Projects

1. In addition to Tidal, Jay-Z runs Roc Nation and Roc Nation Sports. Oh, and we can’t forget his clothing company Rocawear, which raked in $700 million before he sold it for $204 million. (Also, this is a Jay-centric section, but it should be noted that Bey still runs management company Parkwood Entertainment!)

2. He owns a restaurant chain called the 40/40 Club.

3. He owns a fancy champagne called Armand de Brignac, which Forbes reports he sold 50 percent of in a deal that valued the liquor company at around $640 million.

4. Not to make it about Bey again lol, but she also just recently teamed up with Moët Hennessy to launch a new whiskey called SirDavis, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Total Net Worth

Okay, so things have changed since we last discussed their net worth in 2018. At the time, Bey’s was $355 million and Jay-Z’s was $900 million, making their combined net worth more than $1 billion. But now?

As of December 2023, Forbes estimates that Beyoncé is worth $800 million, which means she’s well on her way to becoming a billionaire all 👏 by 👏 herself 👏! I’ll allow you a minute to process. While Beyonce is worth $800 million, Forbes reported in March 2023 that Jay-Z is worth $2.5 billion (thanks in part to those Tidal/champs sales!).

In 2021, Jay’s ~portfolio~ included $425 million in investments, $320 million in Armand de Brignac, $140 million in Roc Nation, $120 million in his cognac brand D’Usse, and a music catalog worth $95 million. Meanwhile, his and Beyoncé’s art collection was worth $70 million and they had $50 million in real estate. But in The Year of Our Lord 2023, the rapper’s net worth is looking a little something like $2.5 billion in the latest estimate from Forbes.

So…*does quick math*…together, they’re sitting on a total of ~$4 billion.
