Rihanna has officially work, work, work, work, worked her way to becoming a billionaire.
The wealthiest female musician in the world is now worth $1.7 billion, according to Forbes , and she comes in second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer.
Known for smash hits like “We Found Love,” “Umbrella” and many more, Rihanna born Robyn Fenty has built her empire with a combination of ventures. Her beauty company, Fenty Beauty, is now worth an estimated $2.8 billion (and she currently owns 50% of it) while her lingerie company, Savage X Fenty, is worth an estimated $270 million, according to Forbes.
Fenty Beauty, which is half-owned by French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, launched in 2017, and by 2018 had topped fellow celebrity-founded brands like Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, Kim Kardashian West’s KKW Beauty and Jessica Alba’s Honest Company in revenue.
While Rihanna hasn’t released a new album since 2016’s “Anti,” she’s kept plenty busy since then. Outside of Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, she also starred in buzzy films like 2018’s “Ocean’s Eight” and opposite Donald Glover in 2019’s “Guava Island.”
And in 2020, she also launched a skin care brand called Fenty Skin , which Forbes reports is off to a “very promising start.”
