Rihanna is a billionaire. It is official. She became the youngest self-made ten-figure worth woman in the world, pushing Kim Kardashian to second place after a long time.
Rihanna, with her 34 years, is in 21st place on the Forbes list of self-made women in the USA. Furthermore, a great remark is that she is the only one on the list that has an age lower than 40.
Kim Kardashian No Longer The Richest Young Woman – Rihanna Takes The Lead
The African American R&B singer and star has made herself a fortune. Her net worth tops at about $1.5 billion. This fortune comes from the singer’s massively successful music career as well as from the cosmetic companies she owns.
Riri is not stopping here. According to Forbes, currently, she is the world’s richest female musician.
But, we must point out that Rihanna’s real money does not come from her music career as you might think. A great percentage of the net worth of the singer is generated by her cosmetic companies, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and Savage X Fenty.
Rihanna owns about 50% of Fenty Beauty. This company solely brings about $500 million annually to the singer. However, she owns about 30% of Savage X Fenty which brings a considerable chunk of her riches as well.
Regardless of how much money she has, Rihanna is a self-proclaimed workaholic and is not planning to stop working on any of her businesses. In an interview for New York Times, she reveals that she cannot go a day without work and that the numbers in her bank account do not amaze her.
“I never thought she would make so much money, so a number won’t stop me from working. The money means I can take care of my family.” – Rihanna says. “The money means I can facilitate the businesses that I want. I can create jobs for other people.”
The starlet Kim Kardashian is in the high second place now. According to Forbes, her wealth is greater than RiRi’s. However, she is now in her 40’s, so the 7 years younger Rihanna has her beat.
Kim Kardashian seems not to worry much about this fact. She continues to enjoy her riches and live a flamboyant life. After her break up with Kanye West, she now has a 13 years younger boyfriend, a comedian Pete Davidson, and they seem to be having a great time together.
Kylie Jenner is another from the Kardashian-Jenner clan that was topping the list. Back in 2018, she was in the highest place and was crowned the Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire in 2018.
