Queen Bee’s generosity is legendary, with gifts including a diamond-encrusted doll for her daughter and a US$40 million private jet for her husband – but Bey has also treated herself to some epic luxuries, and donated millions to charity
Beyoncé is beyond successful. She is a living icon – one of the bestselling musical artists of all time, nominated for more Grammy Awards than any other women in history, and an embodiment of female empowerment.
She is also one half of the world’s premier power-couple, with husband Jay-Z, and a canny businesswoman with a plethora of branding partnerships, property investments and interests.

A 38-year-old mother of three, Beyoncé also spreads her wealth beyond her family, donating it far and wide, including to victims of natural disasters and towards education.
