beyonc turns 40time to revisit her obsession with the:
Today, September 4, 2021, Beyoncé Knowles turns 40. She is a Grammy-winning singer, actress, fashion icon, wife of a billionaire rapper, and a cultural icon in general. It’s a very important date, and the fact that she’s stuck on the number four makes it even more so. The number most recently appeared in a Tiffany & Co. ad campaign that broke the Internet. It showed the famous couple and a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat that had never been seen before. Knowles wore the famous Tiffany Yellow Diamond, making her the fourth woman in history to wear it.
There are references to the number all over her life and music. Here are the places it has shown up:
Birthdays
Knowles was born on September 4, the same day as Jay-Z. Jay-Z was born on December 4, 1970, eleven years before he met his future wife. Tina Lawson, who is Knowles’ mother, was born on January 4, 1954.
Net worth
Forbes put Knowles’ fortune at $440 million for our 2021 list of self-made women. This is a strange coincidence.
Tattoos
Knowles and Jay-Z don’t wear wedding rings. Instead, they have tattoos of the roman numeral IV on their ring fingers. They got married on April 4, 2008, which is a number that means a lot to them.
Family
When it comes to roman numerals, the middle name of Blue Ivy, who is nine years old, is a direct reference to IV. Rumi and Sir, who are twins and belong to Knowles, turned four this year.
Music
Knowles’ fourth studio album, which came out in 2011, was clearly called 4. It was her fourth album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 when it came out. Beyoncé, the name of her fifth album, came out on December 13, 2013. Notice that the sum of the ones and threes is four? And don’t forget about Destiny’s Child, the R&B/pop group from the early 2000s that put Knowles on the map. They started out with four people.
Performance
Live at Roseland, a concert film from Knowles that came out in 2011, was filmed over four nights of shows. And in June 2012, after Blue Ivy was born, Knowles went back on stage for the first time with four nights of shows in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Role Models
Knowles has shown public support for former first lady Michelle Obama, whose husband Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, and said that she looks up to her.
