It's not an overstatement when one says Beyoncé earns hundreds of millions on a single tour because she literally earns hundreds of millions on a single tour. There's no doubt that Beyoncé is one of the most sought after performer in the world and her shows are always sold out.

Every time the former Destiny's Child member goes on a tour, she earns millions from it. Forbes reported that from her Beyoncé's On The Run II stadium 2018 tour alone, she earned about $5 million per night which brought about $250 million in her pocket.

Spends: Real Estate Portfolio

 

 

With an estimated combined net worth of $1.8 billion, it's no surprise that the Hollywood power couple owns an expansive real estate portfolio. They own a penthouse in Tribeca, a Miami estate on the affluent and exclusive Indian Creek Island, and their current residence: the $88 million Bel Air mansion.

The famous parents live on the $88 million estate on the foothills of Santa Monica mountains with their three children Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir Carter. It was reported that the estate had about 30,000 sq. ft. that features 4 pools, a gigantic cinema and bulletproof windows.

Beyoncé and her husband had an estimated $13 million worth of cars in their garage. One of the most expensive car in their collection is a 2010 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that costs around $2 million. It was reported that Queen Bey gifted her beloved husband the Bugatti Veyron for his 41st birthday.

Beyoncé started an athleisure clothing line called Ivy Park in 2016. Beyoncé co-founded the clothing line with Sir Philip Green and they have fairly established their business successfully. Upon the debut of her first collection, they nearly sold out as soon as it hit the shelves of Topshop. It was reported that Ivy Park had a revenue of $5 million.

The brand currently has an ongoing collaboration with Adidas since 2020 and they have earned millions since.

Spends: Charity Donations

 

 

The phenomenal performer does not only have a good face but also have a good heart. Beyoncé launched the foundation called BeyGood during the Mrs. Carter World Tour in 2013. Since then, the Halo singer has been shelling out some of her money to do some good deeds. The foundation is a philanthropic effort that partners with worldwide charity organizations to better help people across the world.

BeyGOOD aims to provide food, counseling, housing, clothing, medical assistance and even employment. The foundation tries to help out in all aspects as much as they can. It was even reported that Beyoncé gave a total of $6 million donation to be used as part of the COVID-19 relief effort.

 

Earns: Brand Endorsements And Deals

 

 

 

 

Undeniably, having Beyoncé endorse a product will do wonders on sales. Suffice to say that numerous brands would want to have the singer-songwriter as their endorser. Queen Bey had a lot of endorsements through the years. One of the most lucrative endorsement deal was when she signed a $50 million contract with Pepsi in 2012.

Spends: Gifts To Loved Ones

 

 

 

 

Beyoncé is pretty expressive with her loved ones and what better way to express your love to the people you care about than to shower them with expensive gifts. One of the most frequent recipient of Beyoncé's gift giving nature is her husband, Jay Z.
