Rihanna's achievements bridge multiple industries. She's won Grammys, acted in films, designed luxury clothing lines, and developed a wildly successful beauty brand, while investing in young creators at the start of their careers.
As of recently, the multitalented star is also a billionaire, according to Forbes, which isn't necessarily shocking to learn but still. Whoa.
Rihanna's net worth currently stands at about $1.7 billion, according to Forbes' latest estimates.
Her 50% stake in Fenty Beauty reportedly accounts for the majority of that wealth, with the artist's Savage x Fenty lingerie company, popular music, and acting credits contributing as well.
Securing billionaire status is a big deal for obvious reasons, and the distinction is particularly notable in Rihanna's case. She's now the wealthiest woman in music and second-wealthiest woman in entertainment, behind Oprah Winfrey.
Those titles aside, it's pretty significant when anyone who isn't a man becomes a billionaire, since men still make up about 90 percent of the exclusive group. Of the 2,755 people who appeared on Forbes' annual billionaires list this year, just 328 were women.
