Beyonce Knowles’s Net Worth & Salary

Beyonce Knowles is a $500 million-dollar-wealthy American pop singer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actress.

She rose to prominence as a member of the rapping-and-dancing troupe Girl’s Tyme on the 1990s TV show Star Search.

Destiny’s Child went on to release seven albums, five of which were certified platinum. They sold more than 50 million records worldwide.

The group won the award for Best R&B/Soul Single for their hit song “No, No, No.” “Say My Name,” one of Destiny’s Child’s most popular songs, won awards for “Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals” and “Best R&B Song.”

Destiny’s Child’s other hits include “The Writing’s on the Wall,” “Jumpin, Jumpin,” and “Bills, Bills, Bills.”

After completing their album, “8 Days of Christmas,” the members of the band decided to go their separate ways and work on solo projects.

Beyonce went solo and has had a string of hugely successful solo albums.

She also pursued a serious acting career, starring in Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, Obsessed, and Austin Powers.

Beyonce Knowles’s Endorsement Deals

While this successful Texan is well-known for her contributions to the entertainment industry, her astute business acumen distinguishes her as a force to be reckoned with. Beyonce’s first endorsement deal was with Pepsi in 2002, and she quickly signed deals with L’Oreal, American Express, Samsung, Ford, and DirectTV.

She has released a number of fragrances over the years and recently signed a three-year, $20 million deal to create a signature fragrance for Coty. Not to mention her fashion line, House of Dereon, which she co-founded with her mother, Tina.

In 2010, she launched her first solo fragrance line. She eventually created six fragrance brands with a combined revenue of more than $500 million since 2010. Her brand, when combined, is the most successful celebrity fragrance of all time.

Beyonce signed a $60 million deal with Netflix in 2018 to provide the streaming service with three pieces of content. The first, Homecoming, a documentary about her Coachella performance in 2018, was released in April 2019.

Beyonce did not, contrary to popular belief, take a 50% pay cut in order to secure the rights to film her Coachella performance. The truth is that she was paid a standard performance fee and basically told Coachella that they had no choice but to let her film for Netflix.

And when Beyonce informs Coachella that she intends to film her shows, they enthusiastically agree! That’s all there is to it.

Beyonce’s marriage to Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, the hip hop artist, producer, and multi-millionaire entrepreneur, has arguably been her best business deal to date.
