One of the most anticipated tours in the world right now is Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour. Queen Bey is back on the road after nearly a decade and is set to make a ton of money while performing her hits.
The ‘Renaissance’ album performed well on charts and streaming, as it was a long-awaited project from the songstress, and this tour proves to be the same.
Beyonce had not released a solo album since ‘Lemonade,’ so the idea of new music and touring sent the world into a frenzy.
Fast forward to 2023, Beyonce kicked off her global Renaissance Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 10th, and has since been through Europe and now the United States.
But how much is this world tour actually going to make her?
Keep reading because we have these answers (and more) below! š
The Numbers Are In: Here’s How Much Beyonce Is Set To Make From The Renaissance Tour
Beyonce has made a whopping $579 million from her Renaissance World Tour. This final tally was released earlier in October, once the concert series ended.
She only performed 56 times in 39 cities for the tour, pocketing nearly $600 million from her tour.
Because Beyonce has a reputation and fan base of this caliber, it’s not all that shocking this world tour could add millions to her bank account.
With concert ticket prices steadily rising, we’re seeing artists make insurmountable amounts of cash from their tours.
That is no different for Beyonce, and this could become an even more inflated figure than some of music’s highest-paid legends.
Beyonce is making big bucks promoting and performing the songs from her #1 album, ‘Renaissance.’
A massive part of why this tour is bringing in potentially billions of dollars for Beyonce is how large the stadiums are and how many cities she’s covering.
The tour kicked off in Europe and ended five months later in September.
Although it’s not the longest tour ever, nearly 60 shows at massive arenas can give better insight into how a single music artist can pocket so much money in less than six months on the road.
Not many artists can say they made $579 billion in five months…

How Long Is The Renaissance Tour? Where Is It Headed?
The Renaissance Tour was roughly five months and had 56 stops.
As of now, the tour is set to take place only in Europe and North America, meaning those in Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa are not seeing Bey for this one.
However, that’s not to say she won’t announce another leg (or two) for this tour, especially if it means another few hundred million dollars.
Most times, musicians will start in North America, move to Europe, and eventually announce South American tour dates, as well as some overseas in Asia, Africa, and *sometimes* Australia.
The issue for many non-American or European fans is that artists forget them. The Renaissance Tour has done well so far, pointing toward an extension of some kind for 2024.
Beyonce is a global name, so she should be able to pull in crowds from every corner of the world.
We’re not going to promise anything, but historically: when the first leg of a world tour exceeds goals, an extension or second leg is almost always announced.
The main issue here is that Beyonce recently underwent surgery on her foot, which could impact how long she can perform nightly, weekly, or bi-weekly.
Yes, she’s super-human to many of us, but ultimately, her health needs to remain a top priority.

How Much Does Beyonce Make Each Night Of The Renaissance Tour?
Although these numbers fluctuate by venue and average ticket price, Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour is raking in roughly $5-$10 million nightly.
Assuming an arena has seating for 60,000, and the average ticket costs $200, a single night on the road earns Queen Bey $12 million.
Most of the arenas she’s performing at hold 50,000+ people, which means major amounts of money for the global superstar.
That said, not every night on the road will be as much as the other.
Sometimes, venues will only fit 30,000-ish, which at that $200 average ticket estimate would earn Beyonce closer to $6 million that evening.
But, hey, SIX MILLION in a night is more than some people ever make. That is not us snubbing our noses; our jaws are also on the floor.
Beyonce has undoubtedly earned her title and acclaim, and with this tour’s continued success: she will be able to expand her already billionaire status.

Will The Renaissance Tour Make More Money Than Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour?
With the final figures from the Renaissance World Tour out, Beyonce did not make more than Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour.
Beyonce only did 56 shows, while Taylor did 146. That is a big difference. The two being so close in totals with a significant difference is what is shocking.
However, the Renaissance Tour versus The Eras Tour is an underground battle on social media among fans of the two artists, with many betting Taylor could hold her own.
We recently reported on Taylor’s highly anticipated and equally successful world tour, which made her nearly $1 billion.
Both starlets will make an extreme amount of money by the end of 2023, with Beyonce favored to top the list for the year’s highest-grossing tour.
When comparing the two, it’s important to note that Taylor Swift has toured more often than Beyonce, with her ‘Reputation’ stadium tour in 2018.
Beyonce had not done a solo tour or released music after 2016 (minus her Lion King project), so there is more hype surrounding the Renaissance Tour for that reason.
You’re also dealing with a different tour schedule and fan base, with Beyonce fans spending more on average per show than Taylor.
Each woman is incredibly gifted, but they and their tours are two entirely different vibes and experiences for fans.
Maybe see both? Or should we pay our rent? Hmm.

How Much Money Does Beyonce Have In 2023?
As of 2023, Beyonce has a solo net worth of around $500 million.
Of course, mixed with her husband, they are at nearly $3 billion, so there’s more money than they’ll ever know what to do with.
Remember earlier when we said this tour could result in $2 billion more in Queen Bey’s bank account?
If that holds true, her net worth would be equal to Jay Z’s, which is certainly fun for them to talk about at dinner.

But seriously, to earn that from a single tour is unheard of. Beyonce would be shattering records here and could become one of the wealthiest women in music.
Any time we see an artist (with talent) soar, it’s refreshing. This isn’t someone who was handed their fame but instead worked decades for it.
Beyonce has inspired millions of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals to follow their dreams and goals, so seeing her rise to the top of the world is pleasing to our souls.
If anyone on her team reads this, tell her we adore her. <3
Also, could we please have a million dollars? That does not seem like a significant portion of the $2 billion from the tour. Come on, people, we’re doing the best with what we’ve GOT.
Who’s been to the Renaissance Tour? Was it fun?
