At just 12 years old, Blue Ivy Carter is already a household name and a multimillionaire, with an estimated net worth of over $500 million.
As the daughter of music legends Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Blue Ivy’s fame and fortune were practically guaranteed from birth, but the young star has also made a name for herself in her own right, building an empire through music, stage performances, and business ventures.
Blue Ivy’s vast wealth has grown through multiple streams, including music credits, brand endorsements, modeling contracts, and soon, her debut in a feature film.
According to reports from Greenlight, her net worth is estimated at half a billion dollars, though some projections suggest it could be even higher.
Early Career Highlights
Blue Ivy’s career began when she was just a baby. In 2012, she became the youngest person ever to chart on Billboard after being credited as a vocalist on her father Jay-Z’s song “Glory.”
Since then, she has continued to achieve numerous accolades, including winning a BET Award, an NAACP Image Award, and even a Grammy for her contribution to the song “Brown Skin Girl” from The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack.
At age 9, Blue Ivy made history as the youngest artist to win a Grammy, further solidifying her place in music royalty.
A Rising Star on Stage
Blue Ivy isn’t just a star in the recording studio—she’s also commanding stages worldwide. She made her live performance debut at just 2 years old when she joined her father on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Most recently, she performed alongside her mother during Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, where she reportedly earned $40,000 per show.
Blue Ivy’s talents aren’t limited to music and dance. The young superstar is slated to voice Kiara, the daughter of Beyoncé’s Queen Nala and Donald Glover’s King Simba, in Disney’s upcoming Mufasa: The Lion King prequel.
This role marks her feature film debut, and industry insiders expect that Blue Ivy’s acting career is just beginning.
A Promising Future
As Blue Ivy continues to build her empire, her net worth is expected to grow. With a massive trust fund and inheritance from her parents—estimated to exceed $3 billion—alongside her various ventures, Blue Ivy Carter is well on her way to becoming one of the wealthiest individuals in entertainment.
