This has been the year of Beyoncé. Not only did she
make music history by becoming the first female
artist to have 12 songs on the Billboard top 100 (all
on her sixth album, Lemonade), but she also made
waves in the business world too. In April she
launched the athleisure clothing brand Ivy Park.
While the venture is her first major foray outside
the music world, Beyoncé is no stranger to being
the boss. Back in 2007 she founded her own
entertainment and management company, Parkwood Entertainment.
This year Parkwood added a music label to its operations and signed its first three artists, all of whom are women.
Empowering women seems to be an ongoing theme
for the music mogul: In May she announced an
investment in WTRMLN WTR, a female-founded
watermelon-water startup.
