Over the years, Rihanna has raked in millions of dollars selling her hit albums around the world; however, what really set her on the billionaire map is her empire of a beauty brand, Fenty Beauty.
The sensational singer’s net worth reached $1 billion in August 2021 but was only recently added to the celebrated annual Forbes list, alongside artists such as Jay-Z and Kanye West. Her $1.7 billion current net worth has been accumulated thanks to the success of her Fenty x Savage brand as well as her cosmetics, which according to Forbes has ““generated more than $550 million in revenue in 2020.”
Barbados’ star is now number 1,729 on the list of richest people but in spite of that, she has yet to share the achievement with her fans; this is in part due to the singer’s rather reserved nature or to the fact that she is too busy preparing for the arrival of her first baby. Either way, these news will travel fast to the millions of people who see her as a role model, who is further proving that a small-town girl can become a self-made billionaire.
