Ever since she was a member of the girl group Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé has been releasing music that is as fun as it is empowering. Fans never miss the chance to hear their favorite Beyoncé songs live, and her 2023 Renaissance tour was an inspiring and memorable experience.
Every time Beyoncé tours, she impresses everyone with her singing talent, amazing outfits, and the overall production value that each concert has. She also brings in an incredible amount of money. Here’s what fans should know about what Beyonce earns from her amazing perrformances.
How Much Money Did Beyoncé Make From Her Renaissance Tour?
According to Forbes, Beyoncé has a net worth of $800 million. Thanks to her lengthy career and the countless tour dates she has under her belt, it’s no wonder that she has become so wealthy. Her latest tour has brought in big bucks as well.
The Renaissance tour grossed $579 million, according to Entertainment Weekly. The publication said that she traveled to 39 cities and 10 countries, which is definitely impressive.
Entertainment Weekly called the tour:
“the highest-grossing tour by a female artist in history, and the seventh-highest-grossing tour overall.”
Although there is no confirmation of how much Beyoncé earned from every concert, it must be an incredibly high salary based on the overall tour gross. According to an ABC News article from 2003, Jay-Z was thought to earn $3.3 million for his summer tour, which would work out to $100,000 for every concert. Since the Renaissance tour made almost $600 million, it seems safe to say that Beyoncé was paid several million dollars. There must have been more than enough money to pay employees and cover expenses and taxes.

Beyoncé decided she wanted her private and public life separate, even if that meant refusing to open up to Oprah Winfrey.
While it’s unclear how much Beyoncé paid for taxes and expenses on her Renaissance tour, it’s possible that since the singer had so many tour dates and traveled to so many places, she likely spent millions. Entertainment Weekly also reported that 304 people were employed on the tour, which would add to the expenses. The tour would have to cover salaries for all of those employees. Their food and travel expenses were likely covered as well.
Fans are curious about Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour budget and discussed the topic in a Reddit thread. Redditor @superfann wrote, “The stage alone cost $20 million but thats not the whole budget. And theres more than one stage btw.” While some bands and singers play acoustic sets and don’t have much on stage besides their instruments, a Beyoncé tour definitely has a lot more fanfare, and that isn’t cheap.
In October 2023, Jay-Z discussed the Renaissance tour with CBS Mornings. He had some kind words:
“My wife, I know how hard she works. For me, it’s her best tour. It’s hard to really compare them, because they all have different things of genius. But this one, to me, felt the most complete, and on top of it, how inclusive it was.”
Of course, Jay-Z wasn’t the only one who was impressed with these performances. Fans have been raving about Beyonce’s incredible stage presence for several decades now, and many music and arts critics are in awe of her as well.
In May 2023, Bilal Qureshi, the senior culture editor at NPR, talked about the Renaissance tour and had very positive things to say.
What Happened Between Beyoncé And Taylor Swift?
The two music superstars have been very supportive of each other over the years.
Qureshi said:
“It’s not just ‘Renaissance’ in terms of the album itself and those 16 songs and that whole record, but it’s this much larger idea of how she is rebooting herself as an artist and as a creator…”
Qureshi added that while some might have expected the singer to simply sing songs from the “Renaissance” album, Beyoncé made sure to add other beloved tunes, which made the tour a much more exciting experience. She said, “because the show, you could think – and it would work as a perfect concert – could just be a seamless performance of the album, right? It’s like a skipless (ph) record that is perfect and perfectly structured. But the way she did it in live format is that it opens with, like, a prelude of songs from her past. The first very song she sang was ‘Dangerously In Love’…”
How Much Money Did Beyoncé Earn From Her Other Tours?
While the Beyoncé Renaissance tour is absolutely impressive and stands out among other tours, the singer has been making tons of money from her concerts for a long time.
