The shoes on my feet (I bought it)
The clothes I'm wearing (I bought it)
The rock I'm rocking (I bought it)
'Cause I depend on me if I want it
The watch I'm wearing (I bought it)
The house I live in (I bought it)
The car I'm driving (I bought it)
I depend on me (I depend on me)
Beyonce fans know this song - Independent Women Part I. Why are we reminded of it today? Because Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter is now a billionaire.
According to Forbes, the American singer "now joins an elite group of celebrities who have recently crossed the three-comma threshold - of the 22 billionaire entertainers Forbes has identified, nearly half were added in the last three years - and she becomes just the fifth musician, joining her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna."
