- Rihanna debuted on the Billionaire List tabulated by Forbes magazine.
- She’s worth $1.7 billion. That amount ranks her among the wealthiest 2000 people in the world and the richest female musical artist.
- Rihanna built two brands that makes more money than recording another album. She’s the majority owner of Fenty Beauty line and has 30% ownership in her lingerie line, Savage X Fenty.
- Last year, Barbados honored 34-year-old Rihanna with the lifetime title representing the island nation. The title seems doubly appropriate now that she’s on Forbes Billionaires List. In Barbados, her formal title is “The Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty.”
- Kanye West ($1.8 billion) and Jay-Z ($1.4 billion) also made the list. (Billboard)
