The singer from Barbados is now one of the billionaires of music, while she has not released a new title for 5 years now.

She is one of the richest singers on the planet and has just entered the very closed club of billionaires. Rihanna, artist and businesswoman, now weighs 1.7 billion euros, according to Forbes magazine. But how did she get there without releasing a single album or song in the past 5 years?

A whole lot of her fortune actually comes not from music but from makeup. In 2017, she created Fenty Beauty, her own cosmetics line, which immediately met with huge success. A card that she shares with the LVMH group, her partner in the case. But still, the brand personally earns him $1.4 billion.

Rihanna didn’t stop there, she also launched her lingerie brand, Savage Fenty. A business acumen that has earned him the position of being the richest figure in the entertainment industry in the world behind American host and producer Oprah Winfrey.
