Rihanna, the Barbadian singer, has officially joined the ranks of the billionaires.
Forbes reported this in its most recent issue.
With an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, the 34-year-old musician officially became a billionaire in 2021.
Forbes Rihanna’s fortune, according to Madeline Berg, is due to her enormously successful efforts into fashion and cosmetics, rather than her musical achievements.
Rihanna made her riches through her cosmetics company, Fenty Beauty, according to Forbes.
Rihanna is the first billionaire from Barbados.
“It’s tricky because it’s hard to even accept that’s where you’re at because I know where I’ve come from. At the same time, it feels good to be able to inspire young women and boys, who like me, come from humble beginnings, who come from parents who are immigrants or who are immigrants themselves, to be able to do this,” Rihanna said about her achievement.
There are 2,668 billionaires with a combined net worth of $12.7 trillion, according to Forbes’ latest rankings.
On the list, Rihanna was ranked 1,729th.
