Beyonce net worth - The former Destiny Child singer's release of her highly successful self-titled fifth studio album in 2013 - without prior promotion - confirmed her place as the foremost diva of RnB. But what is Beyonce's net worth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Queen B's earnings amounted to about $450 million in August. This is a great deal more than Forbes' estimate of $115 million in June.

Many pundits say this year has by far been the most profitable of Beyonce's colorful career. Her latest 'visual album', which sold about a million copies in just six days, produced many more hits for the chart topping singer.

Beyonce's net worth is also thought to have been influenced by her widespread touring this year. Following the highly successful 'Mrs. Carter Show World Tour' - which ended in March - Beyonce also embarked on the 'On the Run Tour' with her hubby Jay-Z.

The marriage between these two in 2008 has also positively influenced her career. An insider source says Jay-Z basically runs his wife's career and had a hand in the dismissal of Beyonce's father as her manager. Despite claims that there was a rift between them earlier in the year, the two have brushed these speculations aside rather nonchalantly.

Reports indicate that Beyonce and Jay-Z are currently recording a joint studio album. And if the success of their 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'Drunk in Love' collaboration is anything to go by, Beyonce's net worth is about to increase greatly with the release of this highly anticipated album.

Beyonce, 33, shot into the limelight in the 90s after the release of Destiny Child's self-titled solo album. In 2001, the group separated to pursue their individual careers. Beyonce has been even more successful as a solo artists; selling up to 75 million records and winning several awards.
