Dr. Dre and Beyoncé are among the newest billionaires in town. Both artists are listed on Forbes' World's Billionaires list, their first time on the tally.

They're both worth an estimated $1 billion, thanks to Dre's decision to sell Beats by Dre to Apple and Bey's music sales, touring and art collecting.

Also on the 2026 list are Bey's husband, Jay-Z, and Tyler Perry. Jay became hip-hop's first billionaire in 2019; he has an estimated net worth of $2.8 billion. Perry, according to the list, is worth an estimated $1.4 billion.

The full list is now available online.
