The accolades continue to accumulate for Beyonce.
Music’s reigning Queen Bey proves that her bank balance is losing none of its shine, even as she readies the arrival of twins.
Forbes have released their 2017 list of Highest Celebrity Earners – and Mrs Carter is sitting pretty at #2 with an annual estimated earning of $105 million.
In occupying said spot, the 36-year-old is the top placed female and is overall only bested by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (whose savvy business moves earned him $122 million).
So what’s beefing up Bey’s pockets?
Per the report, coins are raining in from last year’s colossal ‘Formation World Tour’ and sales of the star’s premium-priced ‘Lemonade’ visual album are contributing too. Unsurprising given that the LP is nearing double platinum status.
*************
Beyonce remains at the forefront of what it means to truly achieve the American Dream. Indeed, few others in the Pop cultural sphere are as exemplary of the reality of working hard and yielding the rewards.
Ever about upping her own levels, it’ll be both intriguing and exciting to see her approach to dominating the musical and cultural landscape upon the birth of her babies.
Because, if one thing is a given about Bey, it’s that she won’t be letting her reign let up anytime soon.

Where the Navy at that said Rihflop would top Forbes list this year after dragging Bey last year for $52 million. Why your girl only make $36 million even though she had a world tour, album, Fenty Puma & 8 4673664733737373 hits and streams. ????? I thought she was getting paid cause she owns her master’s? I thought Anti World Tour grossed $100+ million. ?
I love them both, but you, are talking about 36M$ Per year as not enough while you haven’t even earned 36$ in your in entire life
Can’t believe she said only $36 million.
The Navy was living for a $20 million difference with Dior, Puma, Samsung, and Stance, and a Movie. Rihanna has to take on so many other projects in addition to releasing music and touring to even come close to Beyonce’s earnings. I don’t even know if she’s ever earned over 100 mil in a year, but I am genuinely curious as to why she seems to release more music and pick up more endorsements than all of her counterparts but isn’t proportionately paid, similarly. Like, who’s negotiating her deals? Her?

Do you have 36$ million in your account?
I remember very well. They laughed at beyonce so much but look what rihanna earned with her tour, endorsements, fashion etc whilst beyonce is just from touring and record sales. It seems streaming didn’t help rihanna either lol. The girl is in massive decline as she’s now old and fat she’s not even pretty enough to get a rich guy with so many hot girls alone…… poor rihanna
@swit lol, well damn.
TGJ, y’all need to stop playing with me. The Navy was living for a 20 mil difference with Music, Dior, Puma, Samsung, Stance, and a Movie. Rihanna has to take on so many other projects to even come close to Beyoncé’s earnings. I don’t even know if she’s done 100mil plus in a year but I am genuinely curious as to why she seems to release more music and pick up more endorsements than all of her counterparts but isn’t proportionately paid, similarly. Like, who’s negotiating her deals? Her?
And I sure do wish the Navy practiced this same logic a year ago. They didn’t seem to have a problem celebrating on behalf of someone else’s earnings before…. ?
How do you know that rih’s money didn’t go into investing? These numbers are only looked into at Face value. WHy do people take these numbers serious? Use your brain? For all you all know Bey could’ve sold stock to achieve those numbers…. Also Rih did a lot for charity as well. She said a very honorable person.
It’s a beyonce post and you speaking of RIH. LMFAO. She’s really got you worried huhhhh? I’d be shook too if my idle was 40 years old
20 years into her professional singing career! Only female to do these #’s this far in has ONLY been MADONNA. Slayoncé
PS: Same pls fix yo website. Go back to the OLD layout. It was so much better.
Wrong. Janet Jackson signed the biggest recording contract out of any artist in history. Twice. Making her the highest paid female celebrity in history. Twice. And all before her 15th year as a recording artist. Sorry hon, beyonce will always be second fiddle to The Legends.
Girl shut the hell up.
Janet is nowhere near the highest paid female artist ever.Adele, Whitney, and Madonna all have had higher contracts than Janet.
Janet was never on Forbes list as much as Beyoncé. Janet Jackson’s fans are worse than the hive. Maybe check your facts before spewing bs.
Eh. You’re being selective with your stan-bragging. Both of Janet’s “highest recording contract for a female” deals were quickly usurped. She signed a deal with Virgin in 1991 for $40 million (which was upstaged by Michael’s $65 million Sony deal announced a few weeks later), and shortly thereafter Madonna signed a $63 million deal with Time Warner. Then in 1996 she signed an $80 million contract with Virgin, and yeah that was a “record” for a few years until Mariah matched it and then Whitney and Madonna (again) beat it.
This has been in the game for 20 years and she still consistently SUCCESFUL. How’s that ? Most of artist don’t have that type of longevity. She need to give some advice Miss Mariah Carey who’s destroying her career more and more everyday since the last decade.
Umm huh! Mariah Carey has been on Forbes 2013 – 2014 – 2015. Let’s not. And that’s 23, 24 & 25 years into her career. She’s not “destroying” nothing.
Give advice to Mariah? How old are you? She can’t give Mariah advice on anything and I’m sure she respects her too much to try.
Yet Her networth stay stalling at 250 million.
According to Forbes she’s the 4th richest female entertainer. $350million worth.

Sorry but Forbes stay inflating celebrities’ net worth.
@smh you mean deflating.
Diddy’s hustle game is unbelievable. I admire both his and hers.
Good for her hard work and love what she thouse I wish more blessing more success in all she do good with the twines
Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper. Yaaaaaaas
So a sold out tour grossing $256m and allegedly highest selling album some year and all she made was $105m?
‘
That means Beyonce makes significantly less than 40% per tour because those Forbes numbers factor in her points from album sales, endorsements, Ivy Park as well as other business ventures.
‘
Interesting.
Lol 16 dates weren’t counted for The Formation Tour seeing as they were before June 1, 2016. So that’s $85,366,114 not used in this years summery. Also her album had for weeks of tracking reported for last years list with a total of 1,456,000 (out of 3,014,000 total) sold the week ending May 28, 2016. So that’s an additional $26,193,440 not counted in this years summery. Also what endorsments has Beyoncé announced. The only one that comes to mind is Her Pepsi deal which expands 10yrs. Her business ventures were all small start up companies such as the app that allows consumers to buy touring merchandise & that watermelon drink. As for Ivy Park, I’m curious as to what the numbers are.
But what’s funny is your girl making a significant amount less than last year despite having over 30 dates from Anti World Tour in this years Forbes tracking year. How She have all those stadiums in Europe and make $33m? How She have Fenty Puma line selling out left and right yet make $33m?? How She get billions of streams and stay afloat on ALBUMS/SINGLES charts and still make $33m despite owing her masters? Y’all clowned Beyoncé for making $54m for practically doing jack s*** until the last 2 months of the tracking year and swore up & down Rihanna would place higher than last year. But sadly Rih out here struggling to compete with Kylie Jenner. ?
Is it possible for this damn site to return to the old format? I am not enjoying the comment section anymore? Where are ol girls? LB and the rest? Congrats Bey
Good for her, but shouldn’t Diddy be on the headline? He made $130 million, not $122. Tired of this bias site and it’s s***** layout, where it takes forever to comment.
Of course she is. I mean, who else?
Wow wishes “The Formation Tour” would be placed on DVD!!
After 25 years in the game, Diddy is still The Man. Still managing to outgross all these current music stars without even releasing any music or slaving on a tour. That’s what you call Slaying. Diddy should be the headline for this post, he’s the true definition of a money maker.
Your fave isn’t a definition of a moneymaker tho. You wish she was the highest paid female in the game but she’s not…Beyonce is!
Finally someone said something worth commenting about! You got sight, brains and all. Thank you!
Go back to the old format please. Congrats Bey
Taylor Swift 1989 sold 10mil worldwide, Adele 20mil worldwide and Bey is struggling to go double platinum in her home country.
Rihanna owns her masters boo. She owns her label. So no Rihanna might not have made that much…but her company DID. Rihanna isnt going to pay herself too much as she is signed to herself because of tax purposes. Yall dumb…Rihanna prolly worth more than everyone lowkey lmao!
