Forbes revealed its annual Celebrity 100 list on Monday, June 30, and the one and only Beyonce lands in the top spot for 2014.
Earning an estimated $115 million between June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014, Queen B is royalty for a reason. The Forbes annual Celebrity list ranks the world’s hottest stars based on money and fame — and though Beyonce may not have been the top earner over the past 12 months, it’s her A-list status and endless projects that put her on top.
According to Forbes, the biggest year of Beyonce’s career is courtesy of her massive Mrs. Carter tour, which brought in an average of $2.4 million per city on the 95 show tour. Add to that the smash hit album “Beyonce,” which was dropped without warning, broke records selling 617,000 copies in just three days — not to mention her single “Drunk in Love” has already sold more than 1 million copies.
In addition to being named Time’s most influential celebrity a few months back, the 32-year-old also rakes in millions “endorsing companies like H&M and Pepsi. She has a line of fragrances with names like Heat, Rise and Pulse, and then there’s her clothing company House of Dereon, which features jeans, shoes and accessories,” according to Forbes.
