Net Worth

There seems to be contradiction between her net worth on the page. Forbes has estimated Beyoncé's net worth for 2015 to be $215 million. However, this contradicts statements made by Beyoncé as being worth $1 billion between her and husband Jay-Z. It also contradicts articles that reference her and said husband as being worth $1 billion in other cited articles on the page. Also, according to CNN Money, her net worth was listed as $440 million in 2014 (http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/02/luxury/richest-recording-artists/). It does not seem feasible that she lost more than half of her net worth within the past year without reasoning.

Maria Knasel

Maria Knasel was Beyonce's adoptive mother. Beyonce was left on her doorstep, and Maria Knasel, a very generous little girl, took her in. National Maria Knasel World Appretiation Day is May 9th, 2001. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.79.203.130 (talk) 21:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Link

Hi, I was reading her page but there is a link in her 'Public Image' segment that leads to a disambiguation page instead of the actual person. This is where it can be found and the said link is bolded: Beyoncé has been described as a having a wide-ranging sex appeal, with music journalist Touré writing that since the release of Dangerously in Love, she has "become a crossover sex symbol"

I would fix it myself but I have no idea who is being referenced so I don't want to make a mistake. Kittykat407 (talk) 19:24, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
