我(下輩子)長大了，也得試著混個歌星當當。錢沒什麼大不了，被一群嬌聲尖叫的小女生圍著，應該會很亢奮。
The richest musician in the world has a $2.5 billion fortune. Can you guess who it is?
Brian Linder, 01/07/26
Beyoncé recently made headlines when she joined elite company as one of just five musicians in the world to accumulate a net worth of more than $1 billion.
Forbes first reported the news, and a quick look at the other musicians on the list reveals that things are going extremely well in the Carter household because her husband, rap legend Jay-Z, is also on the list.
The other three musicians to make the cut? Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.
But who is the richest musician in the world?
Well, it appears to be Jay-Z, who has an estimated fortune of $2.53 billion. Beyonce, having just surpassed the billion-dollar threshold, is at the bottom of the list.
Rihanna, with an estimated fortune of $1.03 billion, and Bruce Springsteen has an estimated $1.17 billion fortune. Taylor Swift is second behind Jay-Z with an estimated $2.1 billion.
Beyoncé has several business interests that have helped boost her wealth including a hair care brand, a whiskey label, and a clothing line, but Forbes noted that her musical career remains red-hot and is the main source of her fortune.
The outlet reported that Beyoncé’s recent Cowboy Carter Tour had more than $400 million in gross ticket sales and sold an estimated $50 million in merchandise.
Her cut from everything in 2025, per Forbes, was an estimated $125 million. The outlet said that made her the third-highest paid musician in the world for the year.
Combined with Jay-Z … that’s just about $4 billion in net worth so, again, times are good, at least financially, in the Carter household.

Paul McCartney Becomes a Billionaire, Making Him the World’s Third-Richest Musician
Steven J. Horowitz, 11/09/26
Paul McCartney has joined the pantheon of billionaires as Forbes has ranked his net worth at approximately $1.4 billion.
The publication gave Sir Paul the designation with the launch of its newsletter "The Billie," citing his catalog, legal maneuvers, tours and art collection as the bulk of his fortune. With $1.4 billion in net worth, he is the world's third-richest musician behind Taylor Swift with $2 billion and Jay-Z with $2.8 billion.
According to Forbes, the bulk of McCartney's fortune comes from MLP Communications, his publishing company that he launched in 1969 and manages his own catalog as well as other artists' copyrights. The publication notes that McCartney's acquisition of catalogs from artists like Buddy Holly, plus Broadway musical scores and Christmas standards, contributes significantly to his wealth, accounting for nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.
Elsewhere, as one-fourth of the Beatles, McCartney gets 25 percent of earnings from the Beatles' Apple Corps holding company, which generates $50 million annually from streaming, vinyl sales and merch. Forbes estimates that the income stream is worth more than $150 million for each member or their estate. McCartney also makes $10 million per year based on his share of Beatles songwriting copyrights, which he legally fought for over the past two decades. That's worth at least $200 million.
The total sum of his earnings includes world tours, most recently with "Got Back," which counted 79 shows from 2022 through 2025, plus real estate across the globe and an art collection that includes paintings from Magritte and Picasso.
McCartney remains highly active as a musician, most recently releasing his 20th solo album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" this past May. He is also the subject of the documentary "Man on the Run," directed by Morgan Neville and detailing his life following his departure from the Beatles and the launch of his group Wings.
