Beyoncé is worth $540 million, according to Forbes estimates.
Much of her wealth is linked to the "Renaissance" album and world tour.

Beyoncé is bringing her latest world tour to the big screen.

Hitting theaters Friday, "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" comes a month after Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" movie broke the box office record for a concert film on its opening weekend, pulling in close to $100 million in North America.

Beyoncé, like Swift, has struck a deal with AMC to self-finance the movie but receive more than half the ticket sales.

That means the movie will add tens of millions to the $461 million the Renaissance tour has already grossed, according to Billboard.

Combined with Jay-Z's fortune, the Knowles-Carter family's net worth now stands at about $1.6 billion.

Here's a run down of how Beyoncé has made her money – and how she spends it.
