The multi-talented musician, actor, and Fenty founder is said to be worth $1.7 billion (£1.2 billion), according to Forbes’ recent estimation, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world and the second-wealthiest female entertainer after Oprah Winfrey. Rihanna’s inclusive cosmetics company, Fenty Beauty, reportedly makes up the majority of her wealth, estimated to be worth $1.4 billion in itself. That's alongside her income from music and acting, and her lingerie label Savage x Fenty (valued at $270 million, or £193 million). But what does Rihanna herself make of the valuation? According to Billboard, paparazzi questioned her on being a “self-made billionaire” when exiting a New York City nightclub earlier this week (spoiler alert: her answer is slightly more humble than fellow billionaire Kanye West’s declaration that he’s still being undervalued). In fact, Rihanna only had three words for the enquiring photographer, telling them: “God is good.” Besides being named a billionaire, Rihanna has spent the last couple of months enjoying nights out and filming a new music video with A$AP Rocky (so yeah, if you were Rihanna, God would probably seem pretty good). Earlier this month, she also recruited an all-Black biker gang to model her latest Savage x Fenty summer collection, which dropped just ahead of her debut Fenty fragrance, set to arrive on August 10.
