Queen B sold more than one million tickets during her 21-show tour of Europe.
Love her or hate her, there's no denying the star power that is Beyoncé. The 32x Grammy Award winner earned a whopping $154-million (R2.8-billion) during the European leg of her 'Renaissance World Tour'.
She kicked off the tour in Stockholm, Sweden, in May, with her last show taking place in Warsaw, Poland, last week. According to Billboard, Beyoncé sold more than one-million tickets for 21 shows.
It's the first time the singer has passed the one-million mark for a leg on a solo tour. The 'Break My Soul' hitmaker visited several cities including Paris, London, Barcelona, and Hamburg in Europe.
Her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, made a surprise appearance as a backup dancer at some of the shows.
Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z and their other two children, Rumi and Sir, were spotted in the crowd at several shows.
