7-year-old Rumi Carter may still be a child, but she’s already a superstar. As one of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s three children, Rumi was born into a legacy of excellence, power and influence. Alongside her twin brother Sir and older sister Blue Ivy, Rumi is already making a name for herself and earning some big coin while doing it. From being featured on the Grammy-winning Album of the Year “Cowboy Carter” to being a highlight of Beyoncé’s sold-out tour, Rumi is a star in her own right.
Who Are Rumi Carter’s Parents?
Rumi Carter is the daughter of what could only be referred to as music royalty: Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. With her mother being a global icon known for her powerhouse vocals, captivating performances, and record-breaking achievements in music, film, and fashion, she is part of an incomparable maternal lineage. Similarly, Jay-Z is often referred to as the greatest rapper in the game. He’s also an entrepreneur and music mogul whose influence spans across entertainment and business.
Together, Beyoncé and Jay-Z form one of the most powerful couples in the entertainment industry, with a billionaire price tag to prove it. Their combined talent, legacy and business ventures have lent to a generational wealth that will be passed on to their children, including Rumi.
Rumi Carter’s Career Milestones
While most 7-year-olds are collecting an allowance, Rumi Carter is collecting coin. She has already made a notable debut in the music industry, being featured on Beyoncé’s historical “Cowboy Carter” album on the track “PROTECTOR.” The song is a mother’s love letter to her daughter, a vow to keep her shielded from an unforgiving outside world. Her sweet, youthful voice added an emotional depth to the song, highlighting how keen Beyoncé is on involving her children in her art.
Beyond the studio, Rumi also made her live performance debut during the first leg of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour. During all four shows in Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, fans were thrilled to see the young star appear on stage, beaming with an innocent undimmable light alongside her sister and mother. The internet has exploded with support for Rumi, hoping this signals that she’ll be stepping into the family tradition of performing, on her own terms and timeline.
What Is Rumi Carter’s Net Worth?
While Rumi Carter is still a child, her net worth is estimated to be in the millions, primarily based on her family’s generational wealth and strategic financial planning.

Though she doesn’t yet have a personal business empire, her inclusion in music projects and public appearances contributes to her growing brand value. She’s most likely inspired by her older sister Blue, who has invested in her own name through multiple avenues as well.
Her parents are deeply invested in creating and preserving generational wealth. With a combined net worth exceeding $2 billion, the Carters have structured their legacy to include trust funds, business ventures, intellectual property, and investments intended to benefit their children for decades to come. Rumi is not only inheriting a fortune but also being raised with the tools, values, and opportunities to build her own.
