From Barbados to a Billi: Rihanna Officially Reaches A Billionaire Status

Rihanna reaches billionaire status after Forbes reported she is worth an estimated $1.7 billion dollars making her the wealthiest female musician in the world and second to Oprah as the richest female entertainer. But it’s not her music that’s made her so wealthy.

The bulk of her fortune (an estimated $1.4 billion) comes from the value of Fenty Beauty, of which Forbes can now confirm she owns 50%. Much of the rest lies in her stake in her lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million, and her earnings from her career as a chart-topping musician and actress.
