Rihanna Becomes Youngest Female Self-Made Billionaire

Barbadian singer Rihanna is making history once again!

The 34-year-old singer has officially become the youngest self-made billionaire woman in the US, after accumulating a net worth of $1.4 billion from her successful career in music as well as her Fenty brands.

The Fenty Beauty founder, who has featured on Forbes’ annual list of America’s richest self-made women for three years in a row, has ranked 21st in the annual list, becoming the only billionaire under 40 on the list.

Others on the list include Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.

But Rihanna is not focused on making money, as she previously shared her thoughts on her incredible fortune.

“I never thought I’d make this much money, so a number is not going to stop me from working,” she said in an interview with The New York Times.

Rihanna began her music career in 2005. She went on to create Fenty Beauty after successfully dominating the music industry.

The multi-talented musician is also focusing on her philanthropic foundation the "Clara Lionel" Foundation, which aims to support and fund groundbreaking education and climate resilience initiatives.

Rihanna is currently enjoying her journey as a new mom. She and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child in late May.
