In 2021, Rihanna had joined the annual list of billionaires of Forbes. The artist had achieved this status with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion.
The one who joined Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and his mentor Jay-Z had declared in the New York Times : “ It’s tricky because it’s actually hard to accept that you’ve come to thisbecause I know where I come from”.
And to continue: ” At the same time, it feels good to be able to inspire young women and young boyswho like me, come from modest backgrounds, who come from immigrant parents or who are themselves immigrants, to be able to do that”.
However, the pop star does not owe his fortune to his songs, but to the success of its businesses in the fashion and beauty industry.
And yes, despite finding success with her must-have hits, Rihanna has successfully dabbled in the beauty and fashion industry.
Thereby, she owes most of her wealth to her Fenty Beauty brand. The company reportedly made over $500 million in 2020 alone.
The singer also owns a 30% stake in its lingerie line Savage x Fenty. Which would earn him around $115 million.
