Beyoncé continuously has a tremendous music career as she holds the record for most Grammy wins. An avid businesswoman too, she founded Parkwood Entertainment in 2010 and her fashion brand Ivy Park.

In May 2022, Beyoncé released her seventh studio album Renaissance to much critical acclaim. Months later she announced that she would be embarking on her biggest tour yet, the Renaissance tour. Live Nation, who produced the tour with Parkwood Entertainment reported that the tour earned more than $579 million worldwide, with 2.7 million fans attending across 56 dates in 39 cities.

Beyoncé told Elle about the importance of hiring women at Ivy Park and her other companies. “It’s always been important to me to hire women. I believe in giving a voice to people who are not always heard. One of the first presidents of my company was a woman,” she said. “My current GM, head of production, head of PR, and other leaders are women. I hire women not to be token voices in the company but to lead. I believe women are more balanced and think with compassion in deciding what’s best for the business. They see the big picture absent of personal agendas. Most women are loyal and commit with 100 percent follow-through.”

Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z also just bought a $200 Malibu mansion, which is a record for California real estate.
