But one person unlikely to be invited over is the billionaire’s 13-year-old half-brother Nixon, who stays just ten miles away but remains estranged from his famous sister.
Hard-working single mother Alexsandra Wright — who had her son with Beyonce’s dad Mathew Knowles — was forced to move into a mobile home with the lad when she went bankrupt in 2014.
Today she reveals that Nixon asks: “Why doesn’t that person love me?”
She also tells how she has broken down and cried while listening to one of the megastar’s songs, which she believes relates to Mathew leaving the singer’s mum Tina, which led to him dating Alexsandra.
In an exclusive interview, businesswoman Alexsandra, 52, says: “If you listen to Ring Off, it’s the story.
“It’s not for me but I know the timing. I was inside.
“And when I listen to it, I have goosebumps and tears.
“It makes me cry for them because everyone is in pain and there has been so much sadness.”
Of the singer not seeing her half-brother, she adds: “She (Beyonce) is a billionaire and just bought the most expensive house in California, ten miles from where we live.
Complex situation
“But no, there has not been any contact.
“The pain still needs to heal.
“My main concern has been dealing with a child that asks, ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’.
“It’s a very human story and I sit in the bathroom and cry sometimes because I just don’t know how to help him be his own person.
“But I believe our children and grandchildren will be much better human beings than we are.
“They have Snapchat and all that.
“I think they will find a way to open up and have that conversation.”

Sitting down with Alexsandra and her son, it is hard to imagine they are related to the jet set pop star, 41, and her rapper husband Jay-Z, 53.
Beyonce is estimated to be worth nearly £400million.
Her husband’s wealth could be as much as £2billion.
Mum-of-three Beyonce has made a fortune from releasing seven albums and 83 singles, signing endorsement deals with firms such as Pepsi and starring in movies including Dreamgirls.
Her current Renaissance world tour alone could generate an astonishing £1.5billion.
The singer’s daughter, Blue Ivy, 11, joined her mum on stage during a performance at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London last month.
The youngster has been indulged in ways most kids can only dream of.
She was given a £50,000 Barbiedoll for her first birthday and has use of an £800,000 playroom with a jumbo TV screen.
Nixon’s most treasured possessions include a £259 Nintendo Switch game system.
He enjoys cooking HelloFresh meals and playing basketball in the park, while his clothes are often bought from the US version of discount store TK Maxx.
Comparing properties also shows the vast disparity in their fortunes.
Beyonce and Jay-Z snapped up their 40,000 sq ft oceanfront mansion with a pool and a “water feature” for a record $200million in May, making it California’s most expensive pad.
Yet Alexsandra was briefly left without a roof over her head in 2014 when she was bankrupted by a court battle with Beyonce’s dad over child support that cost her $250,000.
She sought assistance from a homeless charity and was forced to move to a two-bedroom trailer — the US equivalent of a mobile home — before her actress friend Shar Jackson, 46, took her in.
She had also had to protect her identity after death threats from Beyonce fans.
It was not until 2017 that she was able to return to renting her own apartment.
Earlier this year, Global Collective CEO Alexsandra moved into a five-bedroom house in one of LA’s suburbs.
She drives an older reg car that pales in comparison to Beyonce’s 1959 Convertible Rolls Royce Silver worth an estimated £800,000.
And while the singer is known as “Queen Bey”, Nixon triumphed in his non-feepaying school’s Spelling Bee competition last year, making his mum immensely proud.
Alexsandra came into Beyonce’s gilded world when she started a two-year relationship with businessman Knowles, 71, that ended a short time after Nixon was conceived in 2009.
She served him with legal papers that forced him to take a DNA test proving he was the dad — and was later blamed for ending his 31-year marriage to wife Tina, 69.
There were even claims that Beyonce fired her dad as her manager after finding out about the “affair”.
Alexsandra insists her ex — who she refers to as MK — was let go after an audit of his finances began amid claims of “misappropriated funds”.
He later denied the allegations.
She said: “I met him after I started working in PR for Microsoft in 2007.
“MK wanted to do an overall entertainment deal for his daughter and I was summoned to Seattle for the meeting because there were no people of colour.
“After that, MK insisted I work on his account and started saying, ‘I need Alex in this meeting’.
“He had a lot of bravado and he was very persistent. He said, ‘I am going to stay in Seattle until you agree to have a drink with me’.
“And he stayed for two or three weeks until, finally, I said ‘fine!’.” She added: “I was not conflicted about the situation because his marriage was not a functioning marriage.
“I don’t think he told his family about me.
“It was a complex situation and the family structure had been fractured for a long time.
“I would say I was in love, but in hindsight we were both workaholics and we became co-dependent.
“I got pregnant in May 2009 and I found out the following month.
“We rented two beach houses in San Diego and we got all our friends down to celebrate.
“MK wanted to name our son David and there were these long-term plans.
“It was when we were heading back that he found out about the audit.
“I remember he got a call from somebody saying, ‘Your client (referring to Beyonce) just took a meeting without you’.
“That had never happened before.
“His reaction was one of panic, he was scared of losing his position.
“We had joint credit cards and bank accounts and after the audit started he just cut them off.
“I left him and he didn’t ever expect me to make that choice.
“I ended it because I’m better than that.
“Was I scapegoated for what happened?
“By the family, no. By Mathew, yes.”
Knowles has always refused to meet his son, according to Alexsandra. He does pay child support.
Having turned 13 in February, Nixon is now facing some tough questions about his famous sister.
Alexsandra said: “People will ask him straight up at school, ‘Are you the brother?’.
“Whatever they can Google they will ask him directly and even the grown-ups will take pictures of him.
“Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child.
“Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him and they lose their identity.
“They are so and so’s brother or stepkid.
“It’s hard for him to comprehend and he’s a quiet kid and very reserved.
“I tell him, ‘fame does not equal happiness’ so never covet what someone else has’.
“But it’s hard to see people living as billionaires.
“What does that kid think when I am working 16 hours a day and trying to get accounts paid? How does it feel?
“I think Beyonce is a lovely person and she has never done anything to harm me.
“I don’t want anything from them.
“I just want my son to be free and to have a happy life.”
