Beyoncé, Rihanna, Taylor Swift Make 2023 Forbes Richest Self-Made Women List

Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift made the cut on Forbes' 2023 list of America's Richest Self-Made Women.

Of the three music titans, Rihanna, 35, has the highest net worth, with $1.4 billion to her name (she first achieved billionaire status in 2021). At No. 20 on the list, the pop star— who is currently expecting her second child with rapper A$AP Rocky — has made most of her fortune with her makeup line Fenty Beauty, which she launched in 2017.

The “Diamonds” singer recently stepped back into the spotlight for her first live performance in more than five years, taking the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in February before more than 121 million viewers.

Beyoncé and Taylor Swift also cracked the top 50 on the list.

Swift, 33, is at No. 34 with a net worth of $740 million. She added more to her fortune than any other celebrity over the past year (She is now worth $170 million more than she was last year).

Much of the “Karma” singer’s wealth is thanks to her record-breaking Eras Tour, who gets a cut of all merch sold at her shows as well as due to her latest album "Midnights", which hit No. 1 upon its release in October.

Beyoncé, 41, is on the list at No. 48 and also on a notable tour this year, taking her seventh album "Renaissance" on the road for her first solo tour in seven years. 

The “Single Ladies” singer is now worth $540 million, a number up $90 million from the previous year.

When she won her 32nd Grammy Award in February, it broke the record for artist with the most Grammy wins in history.

Other notable women in entertainment to make the list include Oprah (No. 13), Kim Kardashian (No. 21), Kylie Jenner (No. 38), Madonna (No. 45), Céline Dion (No. 56), Dolly Parton (No. 59), Reese Witherspoon (No. 59), Barbra Streisand (No. 61), Serena Williams (No. 89) and Shonda Rhimes (No. 96).
