Rihanna — Fenty Beauty & Savage X Fenty

Rihanna hasn't released an album since Anti in 2016, and nobody cares — because Fenty Beauty generated $550 million in revenue in its first year alone. The 40-shade foundation range exposed every other beauty brand's laziness on inclusivity overnight. Savage X Fenty lingerie hit a $1 billion valuation by 2021. Forbes pegged Rihanna's net worth at $1.4 billion, making her the richest female musician on Earth — and almost none of that money came from music. She turned a pop career into a beauty-and-fashion conglomerate.
