 Beyonce Knowles, an American pop star actor, actress, entrepreneur and philanthropist, has a net worth of more than $500 million. Beyonce Knowles had her first brush with fame thanks to the 1990s' TV show "Star Search" as a member in the dance and rap group Girl's Tyme. Girl's Tyme struggled in the late 1990s but was eventually signed by Columbia Records in 1997 under its new name, Destiny's Child.Destiny's Child would go through seven albums, five of which were platinum-certified. The group sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. The group was awarded the Best R&B/Soul single award for their smash song "No, No, No". One of the most listened-to Destiny's Child songs was "Say my Name" which won the award for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals," and "Best R&B Song." Other songs by Destiny's Child include "The Writing's On the Wall", "Jumpin, Jumpin," and "Bills and Bills". When they had finished their album "8 Days of Christmas" the group decided to split up and focus on their own projects. Beyonce made the decision to go on her own and released a number of highly successful solo albums. She also began an acting career, playing lead roles in Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, Obsessed and Austin Powers.
