Rihanna

Net worth: $1.4 billion. Rihanna hasn't released an album since "Anti" in 2016, and she doesn't need to — Fenty Beauty generated $5.5 billion in revenue in its first five years, making her the wealthiest female musician in history. LVMH backed Fenty as a 50-50 partnership (the first new brand LVMH launched from scratch since 1987). She also owns Savage X Fenty lingerie ($1 billion valuation) and Fenty Skin. Music made her famous; beauty made her a billionaire. The Super Bowl halftime performance in 2023 was essentially a Fenty commercial watched by 121 million people.
