Tina Knowles may be one of the most famous moms in Hollywood, but she is much more than just that. A highly successful businesswoman, she has worked her way up in the entertainment industry, supporting her daughters Beyoncé and Solange Knowles in their careers. Thanks to Tina’s perseverance, she gradually increased her wealth over the years.
Below you will learn all about Tina’s career.
Tina is the mother of both Solange and Beyoncé. She shares her daughters with her ex-husband Mathew Knowles, to whom she was married from 1980 to 2011.
No, Tina is not currently married. After divorcing her first husband, Mathew, in 2011, she started a new life with her second husband, Richard Lawson. Tina married Richard in 2015. The couple divorced in 2024.
Tina accumulated her wealth over the years. As of 2025, her net worth is $ 25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Although she is known as Bey and Solange’s mom, Tina has made a career for herself as a fashion designer and businesswoman. She founded her own brands House of Deréon and Miss Tina by Tina Knowles, appeared in movies, and published books. However, Tina started with more modest ventures long before she found success in show business.
When she was 19, Tina moved to California to study makeup, then worked as a choreographer in Alabama. Additionally, Tina worked as a hairstylist, but her rise to fame came when she worked as a wardrobe designer for Destiny’s Child, which included her daughter Beyoncé, before she started her solo career.
As of April 2025, Tina is 71 years old.
In April 2025, Tina revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings. She missed her regular mammogram during the COVID-19 pandemic and did not reschedule her appointment with the doctor until 2024, when one benign tumor and one stage 1 breast cancer tumor were found.
«I've always tried to take care of myself», - Tina noted. «I just… was in disbelief».
Tina underwent a lumpectomy to remove the cancerous tumor. She is now cancer-free
