While debate has raged for years about Rihanna‘s gravitas as a performer, there’s next to no doubt about her abilities as a savvy entrepreneur.
It’s been clear for well over a decade that the star has an ear and eye for what’s hot as well as a well-rooted understanding of her own brand.
Recent years have seen her combine these various streams of knowledge into several self-made brands – including the instantly popular cosmetics giant Fenty Beauty, lingerie line Savage, and fashion house Fenty. The latter of which was launched in partnership with LVMH.
All, alongside Rih’s music fortune, has seen her become the the richest female artist in the world — according to Forbes.
Full story below…
In a new profile feature, the publication touts the Bajan belle’s empire at being $600 million.
Should the number be true, it means she currently tops the likes of Madonna ($570 million), Celine Dion ($450 million) and Beyoncé ($400 million).
Whatever the case, she’s slaying many a lane.
It’ll be interesting to see what this means for her music career.
We say this because for most acts wealth and winning is anchored in the album-tour-endorsements formula. With Rih’s coins flying in from comparatively unconventional ventures, does she even “need” to the “usual” anymore? Then there’s the question of whether she’ll even have time to.
For now though…

Whaaaaaattttttt f*** the flea b****, Hive..the gorgeous Rhianna, brown beaute, hotty, my b****,
Rhianna call me
Should the number be true,??? R more than Beyonce, Celine, Madonna.
Now Forbes list is questionable????
Asshole it’s true,
that Rhianna c** just won’t let up.
Fenty Beauty really gots her set for life. She doesn’t need another business vemture. Little sad to see she only owns 15% of Fenty Beauty tho. Hopefully she buy it back in small fragments over time. Had this been 50% She would have easily been valued at $1b by now.
She’ll get there with her Fenty clothing Line
Just like the first comment, watch the next 20 comments be about Beyoncé
Read again b****, did you take reading and comprehension in 5 the grade. It’s about Rhianna you mad cause we won f*** flea Hive,. Keep on kummmming Rhianna darling
@Dumb fuuck
Pretty sure flea and hive falls under the supreme first lady of music, you could have congratulated your fave , took the W and kept eating your food.
But the very first sentence was dedicated to the Fleahive….
Right you spoke too soon lmaooooo. Congrats Rihanna. Another win for black women!
chi… shouldn’t you be somewhere buying adidas
Hghhkojg no more tours, atleast…
Hahaha when will the puppet master’s puppet?
Go Rihanna! The Roc is in the building this week! Ain’t no competition in that family. They all getting money.
KARMA IS SUCH A B****
Sam, please, don’t hurt yourself.
Poor hives, yall are really gonna start breaking in…. hives. lol
Who are the corporate slaves now?
Beyonce and her husband are worth over a billion dollars why would be mad at any of their success it’s not like us fans are getting that money. So many delusional people online.
Beyonce and her husband? What happened to independent? ? You want the navy to bring in the Saudi prince, cause that is not just money that is POWER.
Yes sir! And the youngest to do it. Every time this woman adds a new accomplishment to her list, I’m reminded of how much she was ridiculed thru her career but how hard work and determination conquers all
My queen! I stanned since her Rehab days!
Exactly especially by people in her own community such as this sorry excuse of a “journalist” Sam.
SMH some black people move in such jealousy and hate for others they know they can’t help but show their true colors in pitiful attempts at shade like how this faceless author begins this article.
Sam just tell us what rih did to or didn’t do for you that started your hate for her and maybe we’d understand.
That aside congrats RIHANNA, you have been a HUGE model for not just black women but all immigrants who travel here to start their dream.
She declined an interview back in the day when TGJ was still poopin, since then Sam has been pressed, bothered, biased and in his feels…. Literally can’t write an article without attempting to drag/shade
Poppin*
She certainly also seems to be taking a page from JayZ’s book…congrats to her! Im still waiting on something from the Fenty line that I want to covet
Go riri

Musician?
I had the same reaction, people like to give their idols talents they don’t even have. I can’t believe how stupid fans can be.
I’m so here for this. A black woman SLAYING! I’m still gagged of the epicness that Fenty Beauty has become. Not often do celebrity names hold big weight when it comes to high fashion brands and Rihanna stands with the likes of all the beauty competitors. And she’s so pro black which makes me love her even more. Ive always loved her but I may have to stan whenever she releases this album. YASSS ROBYN!!!!
These people are so freaking disrespectful to Rihanna bout if the numbers are true. would y’all say the same to Jays being a billionaire. How many years later Rihanna continues to stay in her lane and make historical moves and y’all still coming with the disrespectful bs. Do better
Beyondfake is not worth 400 million..because last year there was an article about the fake bish only worth 200 million…
Rihanna has been the queen since day one..everything she touches has been. Great…
I like rihanna she actually talks and hugs her fans
Even if she was worth 200 million that’s more than you have and very accomplished. Also her and her husband are worth over a billion dollars combined. You need help.
Laughs in house of dereon
lmaoooo house of who? lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everytime a black woman is shining here comes the carters are worth. A billion..
Keep shining baby girl..soon youll be worth a billion…
Right! And the same ones ? riding them aren’t worth ish!!! Always in someone else’s pockets. Do better Hives!
This isn’t even calculating all of her ventures! A company just invested a 100 million into her Savage lingerie line! Like she is winning on so many fronts female artist of the decade for music accomplishments and in another year she will be a billionaire. Plus her man is a billionaire she is winning winning wow I live stanning Navy!
I can’t stand this ugly, satanic trash. This dumb, ghetto b**** must be sucking a lot of illuminati d*** to be in the position she’s in now. Rihanna’s a talentless, evil puppet.
I’m so proud of how far Rihanna has come she really is shining bright like a diamond and I’m glad she has found her passion. But I really hope her only having 15% share in Fenty beauty is a mistake cause she literally is the brand she should have a much bigger stake.
Her rep declined to comment that. That is a minimum figure she could be worth waayyy more then that even if she really does own 50 percent ! I wonder how much she owns of Savage lingerie? I know she owns 55 percent of her new Fenty House either was she is making them coins!
Musician? LMAO
Yes musician !
She’s not a musician, she’s a singer. What kind of instrumental does she control ? Is she superman too ?
BUT y’all say bey queen not overrated at best ?
lmaoooooo guuuuurrllll, the roaches are slitting their wrists and jumping out of their projects windows right now as we speak lmfaoooooo, bishhh cant sell more than 14k albums now Queen Riri done snatched her bald with her coins. poor roach nest,not even netflix can help the struggle roach lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hey Beyonce number 1 Fan! You’re in need of serious therapy you come here everyday for the last few years and say the same thing. Why??? Who cares Rihanna has made her money and Bey has hers and her husbands worth over a Billion. While you come to comment on this page everyday of your life with how much you “hate” her and roach this and that she’s still living her life making major moves. What a shame this person really needs mental evaluation. Like how much energy that has to take to come on here everyday for the last couple of years to say the same thing about Beyonce? Sheesh
I was going to read the full article until I started reading it. They immediately started off the article by trying to demean Rihanna as a subpar artist. I mean who does that? Bring her down before you praise her up huh?
what makes it worse is that he’s a black man who for years has been trying to tear her down. It’s disappointing that it comes from your own community with a high enough platform to support but instead undermines at any given opportunity. But god creates individuals like Sam to show the contrast of internal hate against people who live and lead their life in happiness and positivity and what rewards come when you follow in the latter
All that money and and not a dime going to any one of my bills ??
I thought I read somewhere that madonna was worth 800m?
Anyway this is just an estimation of the value of her clothing line.
The real money in the bank is another story entirely.
madonna is worth more than 800million. she refuses to provide Forbes with financial info so they keep her in the 500m bracket. Forbes is just PR, like Grammy and Oscar awards, it’s all paid for
You think Rihanna has disclosed all of her money ? The 15 percent figure is just the minimum amount she actuallly owns more of Fenty then that so her net worth is probably already at 1 billion
Rihanna is like the Cardi B of her time. Everyone compared her to Beyoncé. Everyone said she couldn’t sing. No one thought she was a great performer. But NOW she’s not only got hits on top of hits, but she has a crazy successful beauty line, her style is hella influential, and she’s literally a pop queen/icon. Rihanna is and always will be that bish! Congrats!!
Lmao the cardi b of her time? LMAO cardi b is still on the 10th minute of her 15-minute clock, so how about we wait until she can last past that before comparing her to a 10 year veteran who actually SOLD albums without streaming.
Firstly – there’s no questioning her business acumen – congrats ?????? But to all those haterz mentioning Beyoncé – Reading is FUNDAMENTAL – this is about ESTIMATED VALUE OF BUSINESS VENTURES – one look at Homecoming and even Stevie Wonder could see that Beyoncé is a different kind of performing beast – and if you MUST compare with Rhi in terms of performance – YOU WILL GAG AND DEAL with the fact that Beyoncé is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Rhi when it comes to putting on a performance.
Who cares Rihanna is still richer though lol Both are great In their own lanes no need to compare
Tell that to everyone above who can’t keep Beyoncé’s name out dey mouth and needed to be reminded of the inescapable facts if they must compare ??♂️
Why not respond to them directly instead your looking just as pressed smh
Girl stfu! Rihanna is the riches female musician period dummy! It said absolutely nothing about stage presence clown ?. The Beehive really are dumb! ????
What’s dumb is the self read you just vomited – READING IS FUNDAMENTAL CHILDREN – she is the richest female MUSICIAN – and do you know what musicians have in common? THEY PERFORM ON STAGES ??♂️??♂️??♂️??♂️
The facts I stated are clearer than you Mamas 70 Page STI results analysis – so instead of riding my d*** why don’t you hop of my reply thread and go and play blindfolded in traffic. These children ? SMH ??♂️
And how many stages had Rihanna performed on across the world hmmmm? From sold out European stadiums to the Grammies etc etc you sound really mad sis
How many stages has Rihanna performed on across the world hmmmm? From sold out European stadiums to the Grammies etc etc you sound really mad sis she performed on countless stages lmao
Congrats!!!???
Good for Rihanna. Like someone else said, she ain’t paying my bills with any of it, so really I don’t care & I stan for Rihanna, but I could care less how rich she is unless she asking me how much I need to pay my bills! This woman money is not going to do anything for nah one of ya’ll…chill.
Good and glad for her. She’s smarter than a lot of people/gossip columns/press have her credit for. Let’s see how she silences them even more when new music lands and she does a full 360 with all her fingers in that pie.
Good girl got richer better and more and more savvier ??
That billionaire rih dates must’ve given RIH SCHEDULED a financial loan
if this is true how come RIH SCHEDULE has NEVER topped the forbes list. i never even seen rihanna make more than $50 in 1 year but now all of a sudden magically near billionaire status ???

Your double chin , cinnamon roll neck having a*** need to worry about your health. You just mad that you fat, sour and unattractive.
Your big big mad lol Fenty Beauty is valued over 3 billion hun
“You know you that B***** when you cause all this conversation.” Yall completely ignored Madonna and Celine Dion lol. I bet all of you are black. When they see us!
Crazy how people try to count money celebrities have. No one knows how much these rich folks have but them. … s*** they probably don’t even know.
Sad Beyoncé has to make 17 music videos for each album perform her heart out with stadium tours to only sell 2 million records and Rihanna quietly slays doing less work ???
Also Bey and husband combined worth over 1 billion y’all people are really lunatics on here. Remember Rihnis signed to Roc Nation when it comes to music founded by Jay Z
But she Hasn’t topped Mariah lol haha
Mariah ain’t even in the top 5 fool
while it’s admirable what Rihanna has achieved, this list is not accurate at all. it’s all PR. they’ve had Madonna at 500mil since 2000, and just with the Sticky & Sweet Tour she pocketed over 200million and over 100million for Confessions Tour plus the other tours, her huge Live Nation deal and much more. M refuses to provide them with any financial info so they keep her in the 500mil bracket.
I’m sure it’s the same with a few other artists.
so NO, Rihanna is not the world’s richest female musician
Lmao!
Do you understand the meaning of net worth?
Assets-Liabilities.
You assume that your assets only increase overtime. If your liabilities outpace, your networth goes down
All of these “richest” lists should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s not like the heffa showed them her bank statements. And as a fan of music I really don’t care whether my fav is a millionaire, billionaire or trillionaire. They’re all rich af. I’m here for the music.
Exactly. It´s ridiculous to stan for other people´s money. Plus it definitely is not related to talent 🙂
Congrats to Rih!! So proud of her!! Why some of you can be happy for a successful black female instead of pitting them against one another, praise them.
Congratulations Rihanna!! She has come a long way and it’s so good to see Black females like Rihanna and Beyonce bringing in big bucks. If you’re black you should be happy, I know Rihanna is from the islands and I know she will give do more to help those in need. If she continues to bring in this much, she’ll become the first billionaire female singer.
LMAO Because she is not a musician NOW. That´s why. The rest of people make music and have a real music career and love for music. She just has gone business now. Nothing related with talent.
