Beyonce vs. Jay Z Net Worth: Who Is Richer?

Beyonce and Jay Z’s combined net worth exceeds the billion dollar mark, but who is richer individually? The answer is Jay Z with his at least $1 billion net worth. On the other hand, his wife remains wealthy on her own with a reported net worth of $400 million.

The couple seems to be a match made in music heaven. Jay Z is a legendary hip hop artist who has leveraged success and fame to business ventures such as promoting and producing artists. Beyonce is a product of a pop girl group that had its share of success, but her artistry undeniably deserved its own stardom.

According to Business Insider, power couples have different dynamics. While the rapper is worth more than his superstar wife, it is different when it comes to other partnerships such as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian-West where the latter is more financially capable than the former. On the other hand, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham seem to have more or less the same level of fortunes.

Beyonce, also known as Queen Bey, likes to live life to the fullest. With that being said, she fancies traveling in a yacht. The former Destiny’s Child member gifted her husband a private jet and a car on his birthday. If that was not enough, she also gave their daughter Blue Ivy a doll worth at least a thousand dollars.

In a separate report from Business Insider, the couple reportedly made several millions while touring together. They earned a combined $250 million in 2018 alone from On The Run II Tour. Aside from touring, Beyonce also makes serious money performing as a solo artist. Netflix acquired her series of performances for Coachella for $60 million.

Jay Z is managing Roc Nation and Tidal and his other ventures when not performing as a solo artist. Tidal has an estimated value of $600 million while Roc Nation has expanded its roster of artists and musicians to athletes. The rapper is also a respected art collector, whose art pieces easily cost about $70 million. The 50-year-old music icon also has investments in Uber and 40/40 Club in Manhattan.

Born as Shawn Corey Carter, the “Ni--as in Paris” rapper is a former majority owner of NBA team Brooklyn Nets. He sold his stakes in the team because he could not sign players for his Roc Nation Sports agency while being an owner of an NBA team. With such a diverse portfolio of investments, it is not surprising that Jay Z is the first rapper to eclipse the billion dollar net worth mark.

The couple married in 2008 and they have three children together: Rumi, Blue Ivy and Sir.
