Beyoncé is undoubtedly one of the most popular singers of our time, but let’s not forget how she got to where she is today. Before becoming a Grammy award-winning superstar, Beyoncé was part of one of the biggest girl groups of all time – Destiny’s Child.

Initially formed by a group of childhood friends in Austin, Texas, and managed by Beyoncé’s dad Matthew Knowles, the band became famous for hits like “Say My Name”, “Bootylicious” and “Survivor”.

Throughout the years, the group underwent various transformations due to tensions and terminations, before eventually calling it quits in 2006. While all former members eventually went solo to varying success, it was of course Queen Bey that became the band’s breakout star and biggest earner.

After wrapping up her mega stadium Renaissance World Tour in October, Beyoncé invited four of her former Destiny’s Child bandmates to reunite at the Los Angeles stop of her Renaissance World Tour Concert film premiere in November. Proving all past drama is water under the bridge, the ladies met up backstage where they exchanged hugs and shared pictures on social media. The rare moment together even sparked the #DC5 hashtag, with fans begging for a five-piece Destiny’s Child project on social media.

So after all these years, how do the ladies of Destiny’s Child’s fortunes stack up in 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth?

Blink and you would’ve missed her, but Farah Franklin was indeed a member of the band for six months during their most tumultuous period in 2000. After Roberson and Luckett got fired from the band, Franklin was invited in alongside Williams. She appeared in music videos for “Jumpin’, Jumpin” and “Say My Name”, but left shortly afterwards reportedly due to issues with Matthew Knowles’ management. Since then she’s kept relatively low key, with a few solo career launch attempts over the years.

6. LaTavia Roberson, 42 – US$500,000

Roberson was a part of the group from 1997 to 2000. After her departure from the band, Roberson – along with former Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett – briefly formed the girl group Anjel, but the project never took off. Since then, Roberson has starred in various stage productions like Those Jeans, How to Love and Not My Family, and became a full-time cast member on R&B Divas: Atlanta in 2014.
