it's a pity! Rihanna, Jay-Z and Kim Kardashian lead the stars on Forbes' billionaire list，but...
Music moguls Rihanna and Jay-Z have made Forbes' list of billionaires once again. Rihanna, 35, officially became a billionaire last year, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world. Her fortune comes from her successful music and beauty ventures.
This year, Rihanna ranked at number 1,729 on the Forbes list with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion. Her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, launched in 2017, contributes significantly to her billionaire status.
The brand generated over $550 million in revenue in 2020 alone.
Rihanna also co-owns the Savage X Fenty lingerie line, which was valued at $1 billion in February 2021. Between her music, beauty and fashion empires, the Barbadian superstar has established herself as an entrepreneurial force.
"It's easy to think that stars are born with silver spoons in their mouths, but Rihanna's story shows how you can build something from nothing," Rihanna's former accountant William Derella said.
Through hard work, business savvy and persistence, Rihanna turned her music fame into a multi-billion dollar business.
