Beyonce Net Worth and Main Income Sources
Beyonce has an estimated net worth of around $800 million as of the latest public Forbes estimate, with the bulk of her wealth coming from music, tours, and business ventures.

Bey also earns from her Ivy Park activewear line, partnership deals, and music catalog royalties.
Her company Parkwood Entertainment manages her music, films, and investments, and she holds stakes in streaming and media projects that add to her long-term wealth. Beyonce remains one of the highest-earning musicians in the world, with Forbes listing her among the top-earning celebrities in recent years.
Rihanna Net Worth and Business Ventures
Rihanna has an estimated net worth of around $1.4 billion as of the latest Forbes estimate, driven largely by her majority stake in Fenty Beauty and a significant share of Savage X Fenty. Forbes reported that Fenty Beauty alone was valued at roughly $2.8 billion after a 2023 investment round, with Rihanna retaining a controlling stake and earning substantial royalties.
Savage X Fenty, her inclusive lingerie and lifestyle brand, has expanded globally and attracted major venture funding, further boosting her net worth. Rihanna also earns from music royalties, brand partnerships, and her role as a co-founder and investor in several consumer and technology ventures, with details tracked on Forbes.
Direct Comparison of Beyonce and Rihanna Wealth
Rihanna's net worth is currently higher than Beyonce's in public Forbes estimates, mainly because of the large valuation of Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. Beyonce's wealth is more heavily tied to music, touring, and entertainment IP, while Rihanna's wealth is more weighted toward equity in private and semi-private consumer brands.
Both artists have built diversified business empires, but Rihanna's ownership stakes in high-value beauty and fashion companies give her a larger paper net worth in current rankings.
