Beyoncé Knowles
By far the hottest prong of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé has gone on to become one of the most marketable artists ever, towing just the right line between philanthropic Christian wonder woman and ‘bootylicious’.
Beyoncé Knowles' marriage to Jay-Z helped, of course, elevating her to hip-hop aristocracy and making her probably the most heavily guarded women on the planet. You can still touch her though. In Madame Tussauds.
The Queen B’s success can be measured in other, less waxy ways. Beyonce’s sold upwards of millions and millions of records. She’s been named artist of the decade. She has a university course named after her, and a monument in Texas, her home state. But perhaps the most significant sign that she is something special, is that someone was nice enough to name a horsefly after her, Scaptia beyonceae.
The Carter family has now grown again. Just imagine being Blue Ivy Carter, the couple's first collaboration in a sentient being – a child so privileged she makes the royal family look like inbred hermits. She’ll want for nothing, but Jay and B won’t let her become spoilt. She’ll have enough money to do something, but not enough money to do nothing. Because Beyoncé is power, and we respect her so much, we’re not even going to make a crass joke about breastfeeding.
