Rihanna worth 1.7 Billion according to Forbes and now the richest female musician on the planet

Rihanna is now the richest female musician on the planet, and most of her net worth doesn’t even have to do with her being an artist. According to Forbes, RiRi joined the billionaire’s club and boasts a reported net worth of $1.7 billion.

An estimated $1.4 billion comes from Rihanna’s lucrative Fenty Beauty line, of which Forbes confirmed she owns 50 percent of in a split deal with powerful fashion house LVMH. Forbes.com writes- When Robyn Fenty, known to the world as Rihanna, launched Fenty Beauty in 2017, she sought to create a cosmetics company that made “women everywhere (feel) included.” A perhaps unintended consequence: The beauty line has helped her enter one of the world’s most exclusive ranks: Billionaire. Rihanna is now worth $1.7 billion, Forbes estimates—making her the wealthiest female musician in the world and second only to Oprah Winfrey 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. While Barbados-born Rihanna isn’t the only celebrity to capitalize on her social media presence —she has 101 million followers on Instagram and 102.5 million on Twitter—to build a beauty brand, she is the most successful beauty entrepreneur to do so.
