Her net worth is an estimated $450 million dollars, making her one of the highest female celeb earners and the perfect cover star for Marbella Rocks <em>Money Issue<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However Bey\u2019s humble attitude never fails to endear her to fans. She has quoted that her biggest goal in life is just to be happy: \u201cI have a lot of property. I\u2019ve invested my money and I don\u2019t have to make anymore, because I\u2019m set. I\u2019m now able really to be free and just do things that make me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although happiness seems to be at the top of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s list, her 7 bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills and a range of luxury cars totalling up to $10 million, must help right?!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONQUERING THE WORLD <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At only 34, Beyonc\u00e9 has already built her empire and is tipped to stay at the top for the foreseeable future. Her most recent album <em>Beyonc\u00e9 <\/em>broke records selling a total of 617,000 copies in the first two weeks of being released. This even beat her album B\u2019day that sold 514,000 in the same time period. What\u2019s most impressive is that it was a secret album release and Bey shocked fans by releasing the album exclusively via iTunes on the morning of 13<sup>th<\/sup> December, without any pre-release announcements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyonc\u00e9 has also won her fair share of awards, including a total of 14 Grammy\u2019s. This year she won best album for the secret release of <em>Beyonc\u00e9<\/em>. She has been named the most nominated woman in Grammy history!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is thought that if she were to separate from Jay-Z the divorce would cost a total of $1 billion dollars, being the highest celebrity divorce in history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There has been an ongoing conspiracy that Jay-Z has been having an affair with his young prot\u00e9g\u00e9e Rihanna. Not only this but at the Met Gala in 2014 a feud between Bey\u2019s sister Solange Knowles and her husband Jay-Z erupted where Solange had actually hit Jay-Z in an elevator. Solange accused her brother in law of getting too close for comfort to fashion designer, Rachel Roy. The pap\u2019s captured this moment and even then, Beyonc\u00e9, typically maintained her complete professionalism and didn\u2019t batter an eyelid at the paparazzi, instead she remained completely calm and unfazed despite her angered sis. Beyonc\u00e9 is famously known for keeping her personal life private and I\u2019m sure this public dispute was her worst nightmare, especially between two people so close to her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyonc\u00e9 has been the face of many brands we know and love including Armani Diamonds perfume; this iconic advertisement back in 2007 seemed to fit well with Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s feminist attitude, she quotes: \u201cDiamonds often are a sign of a woman&#8217;s strength these days. Now women can buy their own diamonds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This strong, female attitude is exactly what Beyonc\u00e9 has always demonstrated especially through her music, such as \u2018Irreplaceable\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore to feature in an ad where this is again reconciled, reminds us of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s ultimate goal to be successful in her own right. Girl power!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MAKING WAVES WITH TIDAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jay Z and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Subscription_business_model\">subscription<\/a>-based <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Music_streaming\">music streaming<\/a> service called Tidal combines <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lossless_compression\">lossless<\/a> audio and high definition music videos with curated editorial. A service, which claims to pay the highest royalties to the artists, it has over 35 million tracks and 85,000 music videos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Among the stars that co-own and support tidal such as Nicki Minaj, Usher and Madonna it has caused outrage for some artists. 50 Cent explained: &#8220;We probably could have [done] something more exciting if they reached out because the people you saw there don&#8217;t even own the rights to their own music. So they can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s just going to come out on Tidal, it has to go everywhere. So why would you actually buy Tidal to get something that would be everywhere else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seems the Tidal launch is a new craze that\u2019s got everyone talking whether in a positive or negative way. The main message of the vocally negative celebs seems to find Tidal\u2019s purpose, somewhat pointless and just a way of highly paid artists to earn even more through a monthly paid subscription.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the feuds, Tidal is bound to be a success solely down to the big names involved. Jay Z and Beyonc\u00e9 know what they\u2019re doing and the die-hard fans out there will always supporting their musical idols. Plus, to so many the artists are the ones that should be rewarded for producing music not the sellers like iTunes and Spotify, which give a comparably small fee to artists from selling or streaming their music compared to Tidal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>STYLE ICON <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s style over the years has varied, not in an eccentric and outlandish way like Gaga but definitely in her own, signature, <strong><em>Bey-way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What we love most about Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s style is that she\u2019s not afraid to be casual and rock high street fashion but can still show up to the Met Gala in a racy see-through Givenchy gown, and still maintain her sophisticated rep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHATS NEXT FOR BEY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been over three years since Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay had their first child: Blue Ivy, so it\u2019s no surprise they want another little brother or sister for her. It has become known that Bey struggles to conceive, she suffered a miscarriage back in 2009 and she described it as \u2013<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The saddest thing I&#8217;ve ever been through&#8221; \u2013 Jay-Z references the miscarriage in his song <em>Glory<\/em> &#8211; dedicated to Blue Ivy and Beyonc\u00e9, which was the first time fans found out about this trauma for the couple.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is rumoured that they are planning to use a surrogate mother to carry their next child for them. Jay hopes this will help their marriage after all the cheating allegations and bring them closer together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It has been suggested that Beyonc\u00e9 is planning an end of 2016 worldwide tour following a new album. However all her representatives are keeping it top secret and there has even been security on the doors of her recording studios to make sure no one gets a hint. We\u2019re keeping our eyes peeled for any more info on her next album, as after all she didn\u2019t win 14 Grammys for nothing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEYONCE\u00b4S RISE TO SUPERSTARDOM <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1981- Born Beyonc\u00e9 Giselle Knowles in Houston, US.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1989- Aged only 8 Beyonc\u00e9 appeared in school talent shows and it was clear even then of her incredible talent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1990- Beyonc\u00e9, her cousin Kelly Rowland, and two of her classmates formed girl band \u2018Destiny\u2019s Child\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1994- even at the tender age of just 13 Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s budding career proved too much pressure for her parents.

Featuring big artists such as Missy Elliot and Jay-Z, this album release was the debut of Sasha Fierce, Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s alter ego, a sexier, aggressive and all round more fun side to her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2006- Destiny\u2019s Child decided to take a break and Beyonc\u00e9 pursued her solo career by releasing <em>B\u2019day<\/em> in September \u201906.

This incredible album gave Bey\u2019 the opportunity to really exploit her demon alter ego who is Sasha Fierce. She once quoted \u201cI wouldn\u2019t like Sasha if I met her offstage\u201d. In the same year she married Jay-Z.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2010- in her established career of 5 studio albums Beyonc\u00e9 decided to kill off Sasha Fierce, as she no longer needed her anymore.
