Robyn Rihanna Fenty

Forbes estimated in August 2021 that the 33-year-old singer, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is worth $1.7 billion — making her the wealthiest female musical artist in the world, and the second-richest woman in entertainment after Oprah Winfrey. Forbes attributed $1.4 billion of Rihanna’s wealth to the success of the Fenty Beauty brand, of which she owns 50 percent, and the rest to her Savage X Fenty lingerie company and earnings from her career in music and film. Fenty Beauty is a 50-50 joint venture with LVMH, the French luxury goods company behind brands including Christian Dior, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. Fenty drew consumers in right off the bat with an inclusive, 40-shade range of foundations, reportedly making $100 million in the first few weeks after it launched with Sephora in September 2017.
