The Richest Female Musician in the World

Do you know who the richest female musician in the world is?

You'll be surprised to find out she didn't make her fortune from her music! 

And no it’s not Beyonce!

Surprisingly, Beyonce came in 4^th place with a worth of 400 million. She may be the queen, but she isn’t the richest.

If you guessed Taylor Swift… You would be wrong, she’s just below Beyonce at 360 million.

#2 and #3 are a little bit older. They are Madonna, and Celine Dion, respectively. They may be legends, but not currently #1.

No, our new richest female musician is much more current.

Another clue is she was not born in the U.S.A.

Do you know who it is yet?

It’s RIRI!!!

Yup, Rihanna takes the crown! Worth over 600 million, the 34-year-old pop star from Barbados did not actually make her fortune because of her music. Rihanna’s wealth was acquired through her lucrative partnership with luxury good company, LVMH, which owns Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, and much more.

With LVMH, she launched her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line in 2017. Since Fenty Beauty’s inception, the cosmetics line has earned Rihanna $570 million in just 15 months of business.

Along with Fenty Beauty, Rihanna has expanded he prowess to clothing, creating her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand with TechStyle Fashion Group.

“ The concept really is just about exploring and celebrating women and all different shapes and bodies, and designing things that met that”

She’s also starting a recent foray into high-end clothing with Fenty, alongside LVMH.

“They extended the offer to me and it was a no-brainer because LVMH is a machine”

And to top it all off, her current boyfriend is a literal billionaire! Hassan Jameel is a Saudi billionaire businessman. They have been dating since June 2017.

Talk about a power couple!
