Beyoncé and Jay Z Are Officially a Billion-Dollar Couple
Beyoncé and husband Jay Z are set to welcome twins this summer, joining their
daughter Blue Ivy, 5. Buying new baby equipment shouldn’t be much of a
problem: Beyoncé and Jay Z are now officially a billion-dollar couple.
So how, exactly, did they pull it off? Ask Beyoncé, and the answer is
straightforward: “I’m never satisfied,” she once told FORBES. “I’ve never met
anyone that works harder than me in my industry.”

Here Indeed, her Formation World Tour, which wrapped up in late 2016,
included 49 dates and three legs, grossing a quarter of a billion dollars. The
lucrative excursion followed Lemonade–Beyoncé’s sixth solo No. 1
album–as the singer pressed forward into weightier subject matter than she’d
typically explored in her early career, tying herself to the Black Lives Matter
movement along the way.
Beyoncé and husband Jay Z also waded into the national debate during the 2016
presidential election, performing at a Hillary
Clinton event in Ohio last November and offering vocal support. Taking on a more
political tone didn’t tamp down the Knowles-Carters’ financial prospects; on the
contrary, they seem to be only increasing in stature–both in terms of influence
and wealth.
Beyoncé and Jay Z have earned plenty of cash separately, and though the bulk of the couple’s wealth is tied up in his companies–Roc Nation, Armand de Brignac and others–there is plenty of synergy as well.
That should come as good news to Blue Ivy–and her pending siblings.
