In Touch estimates that Beyoncé’s wig collection is worth $1 million. Her engagement ring is worth $5 million, it’s not such a stretch to calculate that her wigs are worth 1/5th of that. eyoncé’s wigs are mostly handcrafted and custom made for the star out of real human hair. Some single wigs are worth $10,000 each, and since she changes her hair as often as she changes her clothes, her wig collection is valued at a mint. It’s not all wasted though. Beyoncé donates her worn pieces to an organization that provides wigs for chemotherapy patients.
$80
Beyoncé is guaranteed to always have the coolest hairstyle - she keeps a climate-controlled closet stocked with finely crafted hairpieces. “Beyoncé’s wigs are worth a fortune,” the singer’s friend reveals, noting that some cost more than $10,000. “The majority of them are custom-made from real hair and she’s probably got $1 million worth of stunning wigs. It’s part of the reason why she always looks gorgeous.” Since she updates her looks frequently, the insider adds that Beyoncé donates many of her castoffs to a charity that supplies wigs to women going through chemotherapy.
[From In Touch, print edition, October 6, 2008]
Beyoncé and her husband of nearly six months, Jay-Z, made over $80 million each last year, making a million dollars worth of wigs seem pretty tame in comparison to their earning power.
The 27 year-old singer is one of the first performers confirmed for the MTV European Music Awards, to take place in Liverpool, England on November 6th. The first two singles off Beyonce’s currently untitled third solo album will be released in October.
Here are some of the many wigs Beyonce has worn over the last year. A few of them look like she got her money’s worth.

money is so wasted on the wealthy.

She doesn’t have to take the wigs of every day.
These are special wigs that are glued on to your head (around your hair).So she can take them of every 2 weeks or so. -
So she donates her used up wigs to charity? Aw, how sweet. So much better than writing a check to buy new wigs for the chemo patients. After all, stale Beyonce sweat is known to ward off a host of illnesses.

Isn’t this an old story? I thought everyone knew that B wore lots of wigs, weaves, etc.
-
Lol Codzilla. I know so magnanimous! Ugh.
And if the hair is glued um wouldn’t that end up damaging the healthy real hair she has? Imagine what it looks like w/no wig.

Name me a black female celebrity that doesn’t have some sort of fake hair in her head and I’ll show you the exception! I understand that being a performer is stressful on the hair with all of the products involved, but just how vain do you really have to be in order to have $1 mil worth of wigs?
I agree with whoever said that money is wasted on the wealthy!! -
She’s really not very good at hiding the netting of some of those wigs, particularly in the picture where she is wearing a sleeveless striped shirt. Money well spent, indeed.

If she were to come out of her house with no make up and natural hair nobody would recognize her. She’s probably just as plain as the rest of us. Jeez some of the pictures looks like her make up is painted on. It’s ridiculas. Alot of celebrities don’t look like people. When I saw the header pic I thought it was one of those wax figures and that’s what the story was about. She looks like a tranny mannequin.

OMG I am so sorry but this story is so hilarious. Why is it she always has about 10 pounds of hair in her head? Why not wear your own hair?? I have heard stories where people are amazed when they see her in person how much horse hair she has in her head. HILARIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!

i wonder what her real hair looks like…

Lol anna, “i wouldn’t like to be in her wigs.” I’m fortunate to have really cooperative hair but I’m sure that everybody has at least one flaw about them that requires a relatively large portion of their salary. For example, I have to spend a lot of money on foundations and concealers because my hormones are not giving my face a break at the moment. If you take the amount she spends and shrink it to a scale, 1/80 of her yearly salary, and figure it into your worth, I’m sure that you could find at least one thing that you spend that much money on to overcompensate for some aspect of your being.

And by the way I am aware that on a larger scale, it is all ridiculously superficial, but i had a horrible day at work and I want to escape into stories about wigs, o.k.?
-
pure ignorance, u are all foolish to think that just because she wears wigs and weaves she is not naturally beautiful. another thing, wigs are not the only thing she wears, most of the time she wears pieces/ tracks/ weaves like the rest of hollywood. for instance in some of these photos she is wearing pieces and not full head weaves like all celebrities. so for you wondering what her real hair looks like, look closely and maybe you can see or maybe not because after all that is the point..to blend right?

I should probably be a lot less shocked than I am. Not because of the price of these wigs but simply because she uses so many.
Some days when I have a real bad case of badhairday I wish I could just hide it all under a gorgeous wig. But somehow I can’t imagine going through life always wearing some. It makes you such a… product, much more of an object. At least I know that’s what I’d feel like. As if I were always disguised. I can’t picture coming home day after day (or probably night after night in Beyoncé’s case) and instead of just taking my clothes off and changing into something comfy, sitting down at my dresser and carefully taking my wig off. There would always be that awkward moment when I’d sit there with a stocking on my real hair and think: “is this all worth it? What’s becoming of me that I have to do this daily?”. Granted, in Beyoncé’s case it probably is worth it. But still… I wouldn’t like to be in her shoes. Or wigs, for that matter.
