Good things come to those who wait! The multi-award-winning singer and actress Beyoncé recently reached yet another skyrocketing career milestone as she was declared a billionaire by Forbes.

On Monday, 29 December 2025, social media has been buzzing since it was revealed that Mrs Carter was now one of the 5 musicians who are the billionaires' list, including her husband, Jay Z.

The 44-year-old star also became the first black woman in history to reach this goal solely from making her music. According to BBC News, Forbes estimated Beyoncé's net worth at $800 million (£593 million) and forecasted that she would reach billionaire status for the first time after years of success. Her 2023 Renaissance World Tour grossed nearly $600 million, cementing her position as one of the top pop music icons globally, alongside Taylor Swift.

Netizens react to Beyoncé being a billionaire

Shortly after the star was declared a billionaire by Forbes, many netizens on social media couldn't help but flood the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@ladidaix said:

"Y’all, Forbes isn’t saying other business endeavours don’t contribute to Beyoncé’s net worth. They’re saying the billion is music alone, and the rest is everything else."

@DrQabaka wrote:

"Beyoncé been a billionaire. Even her own father confirmed this. She’s mostly at 2 or 3 billions now. They even hinted this with what’s better than one billionaire? Two!"

@MegaWatts91 commented:

"Okay, great, let's all go after Beyoncé as you go after Taylor Swift for being a billionaire. And let's also just ignore all of her L'Oréal ads, perfumes and other business ventures."

@ChristianD62606 responded:

"As a Beyoncé fan, I think it was more than that. She had business and other things. So I think it was a combination of those businesses rather than just music alone."
