Beyoncé | $500 Million

Beyoncé has invaded every imaginable sector of popular culture, from music to TV to cinema to streaming to fashion, in just 32 years. As a result, Queen Bey now reigns atop a throne of wealth.Most artists don’t make most of their money from record sales, but when you sell as many as Beyoncé has throughout her career, that’s still a lot of money. Beyoncé is a force to be reckoned with.

It is especially true when you consider that much of Bey’s work includes writing and production credits. Her albums with Destiny’s Child have sold more than 60 million copies worldwide, and her solo efforts have been equally successful. She’s one-half of a power duo, rules the music industry, and epitomizes female empowerment and having killer looks and a voice to match. It surely won’t hurt that she has a $500 million net worth.
