BEYONCE has hired Lord Sugar’s private jet to fly around the world.
The R&B beauty struck a deal with The Apprentice star so she can get to gigs in style.
She will use the £18.5million jet for concerts in Europe and the US on her four-month Mrs Carter tour.
A source said: “As a canny businessman Sir Alan often makes his jet available for corporate hire.
“He spent a lot on it so it makes perfect sense to make some money back when he can.
“The firm he rents the jet through was approached by Beyonce’s people and after a bit of bartering they agreed a price.”

Beyonce, 31, has rented a luxury home in Berkshire for her time in the UK. She has been flying in and out of a private terminal at Manchester airport for three shows in the city this week.
Lord Sugar, 66 — famed for his You’re Fired catchphrase — bought the Embraer Legacy 650 jet in 2010. It has G-SUGA emblazoned on the tail and boasts a cruising speed of 500mph. The interior is all leather and features three cabins, bathroom and entertainment system.
Fuel bills alone for a single trip within the UK can cost up to £10,000.
Beyonce plays the O2 in Dublin tomorrow.
