Her musical hits are ubiquitous. It's hard to go anywhere without hearing a Rihanna track like "We Found Love," "Diamonds," or "Work" piped over a loudspeaker. But her discography isn't what made her a certified billionaire, according to Forbes. The bulk of Rihanna's estimated $1.7 billion fortune is thanks to her massively successful cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty.
Forbes noted that eye-popping number makes her the wealthiest female musician in the world, but all evidence indicates she's worth just as much (or more) than the richest male musical artist, Jay-Z, whose net worth Forbes puts at $1.4 billion. Rihanna's also now second only to Oprah Winfrey ($2.7 billion) as the wealthiest female entertainer.
