<\/p>\nLong before Rihanna became a billionaire businesswoman, music was the foundation that gave her global recognition. Although she hasn\u2019t released an album since 2016, her fortune has continued to expand, reaching an estimated $1.4 billion today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What\u2019s surprising is that music, acting, and royalties account for only around 10% of her wealth. The majority comes from the business empire she built outside the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n
Her biggest venture is Fenty Beauty, launched in 2017 in partnership with LVMH. The brand disrupted the cosmetics industry by offering an unusually wide range of shades for different skin tones, generating around $100 million in sales within its first 40 days.<\/p>\n
She later expanded into fashion and lingerie with Savage X Fenty, in which Rihanna owns roughly 30%, giving her a stake valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
While many artists rely on albums, tours, and concerts as their primary sources of income, Rihanna took a different approach. She used the fame she gained through music as a platform to create something much larger.<\/p>\n
Even after stepping away from releasing music, her companies continued generating revenue and growing her fortune.<\/p>\n
Her business empire hasn\u2019t been without setbacks, however. Forbes recently reduced its estimate of her net worth by roughly $400 million after growth at Fenty Beauty slowed.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Rihanna\u2019s music gave her the global spotlight, but it was her businesses that transformed that fame into a billion-dollar empire.<\/p>\n
