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

7. Farrah Franklin, 42 – US$200,000
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.

She’s released three solo albums over the years, appeared in a long list of made-for-TV films, and is a regular in TV series like Black Love and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

3. Michelle Williams, 44 – US$10 million
Williams was with the group from 2000 to 2004. Following the demise of the band, Williams kept relatively low profile compared to Knowles and Rowland. She released a couple of gospel solo albums, appeared in Broadway musicals like Aida, Chicago and Jesus Christ Superstar, and performed on The Masked Singer in the US and Australia. In recent years, Williams has been open about her struggles with mental health, releasing a 2021 book called Checking In: How Getting Real About Depression Saved My Life – and Can Save Yours.
2. Kelly Rowland, 42 – US$12 million
“Kelly, can you handle it?” With a net worth of a cool US$12 million, she certainly can. From 1997 to 2006, she was a fixture of the girl group and as Beyoncé’s bestie, Rowland has carved a successful solo career for her herself over the years, releasing hits like “When Love Takes Over” with David Guetta and “Dilemma” with Nelly. These days she’s a reality TV regular, appearing as a judge on talent shows like The X-Factor US, The X-Factor UK and The Voice Australia.
