″It should cost a billion to look this good,” purrs Beyoncé on Pure/Honey, a standout track from her most recent album Renaissance. For the Houston-born superstar, such vast sums of money are no longer hypothetical. The singer’s Renaissance world tour, which began in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 10 and may reach Australia in November, could earn her as much as $US2.1 billion ($3.2 billion) through a combination of ticket and merchandise sales, estimates Forbes.
