Beyonce Has Climbed To No 1 Spot On The Forbes Celebrity List

Who runs the world? In entertainment, It is Beyonce. The singer has climbed to the No 1 spot on the Forbes celebrity 100 after an amazing year featuring a massive tour. Queen B played 95 shows, bringing an average $2.4 million per stop, according to Pollstar. She also dropped her most innovative album. Titled simply Beyonce, the album hit iTunes with barely any publicity and was billed as "visual album" because there was already a music video for each of 14 songs. The single "Drunk In Love" has gone platinum selling more than one million copies.

But Beyonce does not stop with music--she built a small business empire. She earns millions endorsing companies like H & M and Pepsi. She has a line of fragrances with names Heat, Rise and Pulse, and then there is her clothing company House of Dereons, which features jeans, shoes and accessories. All together we estimate that Beyonce earned $115 between June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014. The star is embarking another big year highlighted by her first world tour with her husband Jay Z.
