Beyonce – Net Worth: $500 million

American singer and songwriter Beyonce Knowles first rose to prominence during the late ‘90s as the lead singer of one of the best-selling group girls of all time, Destiny’s Child. As great as she is, she is frequently cited as a major influence by various artists in the industry. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyonce grew up in a quite modest home, if you ask us, considering how big her house is today.

She is now living with her husband, Jay-Z, in an $88 million mansion in Bel Air, California. Public records show that the couple took out a $52 million mortgage when they purchased the 30,000 square-foot estate. It sits on two acres of land and features a full basketball court, a 15-car garage, media room, and of course, bulletproof windows. It is reported that Beyonce and Jay-Z are paying somewhere north of a quarter-million dollars each month for their mortgage.
