Rihanna, 34, is now the youngest self-made female billionaire in the US, and the first woman to make the list before turning 40, according to Forbes’ annual self-made women list.

🤔 Where have we heard this before?... That title previously belonged to reality star Kylie Jenner, but Forbes stripped it from her in 2020 after claiming the then-22-year-old forged tax documents to reach her billionaire status. Jenner’s net worth sits at $600 million in the most recent list.

💄 Anyways… The majority of Rihanna’s $1.4 billion net worth comes from her stake in cosmetics line Fenty Beauty, which she co-owns with LVMH. Another sizable chunk comes from the Savage x Fenty lingerie line, which successfully fundraised at a $1 billion valuation in February 2021.

  • But not all of Riri’s recent business moves have been hits; her high-fashion clothing line with LVMH – also called Fenty – halted operations last year due to poor performance.

💁‍♀️💰 Zoom out: America’s richest self-made woman overall is Diane Hendricks, co-founder and Chairman of roofing giant ABC Supply, with a net worth of $12.2 billion.
