Rihanna — Fenty Beauty ($1.4 Billion)

Grew up in Barbados in a household plagued by her father's crack addiction. Discovered at 15, she became a pop star — then did something no musician had done before: she built a beauty company that generated $550 million in its first year by offering 40 foundation shades when competitors offered 15. Savage X Fenty lingerie hit $1 billion valuation. Forbes confirmed her billionaire status in 2022 at $1.4 billion — with less than 5% of that from music. She hasn't released an album since 2016. She doesn't need to. The Barbadian girl from a broken home is now richer than the island she came from.
