The Carter’s are life goals for real!

Last week we learned that Jay Z was worth $810 million in Forbes’ Hip Hop Cash Kings list. Today (May 17), the publication released America’s Wealthiest Self-Made Women list, and Beyoncé is sitting at a comfortable $350 million.

That makes the couple hip hop’s power couple with an estimated combined worth of $1.16 billion.

Not bad.

According to Forbes:

So how, exactly, did they pull it off? Ask Beyoncé, and the answer is straightforward: “I’m never satisfied,” she once told FORBES. “I’ve never met anyone that works harder than me in my industry.”

Lemonade Beyoncé’s sixth solo No. 1 album–as the singer pressed forward into weightier subject matter than she’d typically explored in her early career, tying herself to the Black Lives Matter movement along the way.

Hova of course is looking to take the number one spot as hip hop’s first billionaire as he is right behind Diddy who is currently still number one.
