This marked a huge jump up from 2008’s figure of only $35 million – proving Beyonce was one of the few entertainers enjoying greater success than ever before.
To make such a leap is certainly commendable but not entirely unexpected given that she had released several albums prior to 2010 as well as starred in multiple movies during the same time period. Her successful career path has led to opportunities outside merely entertaining, like launching her own clothing line House Of Deréon which continues to expand its reach today. It appears Beyonce remains unstoppable in both talent and earning power even ten years later after first gracing our screens and speakers.

This marked a massive increase from 2008’s figure of just $35 million – proof positive that her hard work and dedication were paying off.
