Rihanna has officially joined the Billionaire’s Club!
According to Forbes, the business magazine which tracks and publishes data on the world’s wealthiest individuals, reported recently that the 33-year-old Bajan pop star’s estimated net worth is now $1.7 billion (£1.2 billion), with an estimated $1.4 billion coming from the value of her Fenty Beauty cosmetics company, making her the world’s wealthiest female musician and the second-richest woman in entertainment behind Oprah Winfrey.
Rihanna has been on a music hiatus since 2016 after the release of her eighth studio album ‘Anti’ which spent a total of 63 weeks on the Billboard charts. Since then, Rihanna has been diligently building her Fenty Beauty makeup brand and her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand.

Forbes estimates Fenty Beauty (which was launched in 2017 in partnership with luxury goods company LVMH) to be worth a total of $2.8 billion. In 2018, the makeup brand which is sold at Sephora stores was generating more than $550 million in annual revenues, earning more than Kim Kardashian West’s KKW Beauty, Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, and Jessica Alba’s Honest Company, the magazine reported.
The rest of RiRi’s fortune comes from her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand, worth an estimated $270 million, and her earnings from music and acting. However, not all of Rihanna’s business ventures have paid off as the 33-year-old Business icon had to shut down her Fenty fashion label after less than two years in production.
