Queen Bey keeps winning.

Billboard Magazine has named Beyoncé the highest earning black artist of all time.

Mrs Jay Z has overtaken earning records by the late King of Pop Michael Jackson as well as Prince and Janet Jackson, because of the huge success of her “Mrs Carter Show” World Tour.

For the year long tour, Bey raked in $212 million (£126 million). Over 1.8 million tickets across 126 dates were sold.

Her recent dates in Europe, from February to March spanning across 25 dates, earned her $41.1 million (£26m) alone.

Beyoncé will also be touring with Jay Z for the summer. (see it here)
