Rihanna has emerged as the richest female musician in the world, with a fortune considerably larger than those of the grande dames of pop: Madonna, Céline Dion, and Beyoncé. The 31-year-old, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is worth a staggering $600 million, according to Forbes overtaking Madonna by $30 million, Dion by $150 million and Beyoncé by $200 million.
Rihanna’s music is not the only source of her wealth. Forbes state that the majority of her income comes from endorsements with LVMH, the French luxury goods company that owns the likes of Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton. Rihanna’s other ventures have been widely celebrated for their inclusivity.
Her cosmetics line debuted with 40 foundation shades, while her lingerie line has been applauded for catering to a range of skin tones and body types. Her fashion line, meanwhile, caters for women up to a size US 14. In a recent interview, she states that women are forces of this earth. They are multifaceted, complex, vulnerable yet bulletproof, and Fenty speaks to all of their intricacies. She had also stated that she has moved to London to be closer to LVMH.
