While walking the streets of New York, Rihanna was asked how she feels about her billionaire status. “Rih, self-made billionaire. What does that mean to you?” asked the cameraman.
A humbled Rih laughed before responding, “God is good.”

The 33-year-old businesswoman is now worth an estimated $1.7 billion and is second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer, thanks to her Fenty Beauty empire. The cosmetics brand, a 50-50 joint venture with LVMH, is valued at $2.8 billion. The rest of her fortune comes from her lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million, and earnings from her music and acting career.
In an Instagram Story, Nicki Minaj congratulated her “Fly” collaborator on the big achievement. “A billi-on here, a billi-on there—little Bajan bih w/ green—dat bag iz a different size,” she wrote, adding the hashtag #IfThisDontInspireYou.
Rihanna is in good company. In 2020, Forbes declared Kanye West a billionaire, while JAY-Z was named hip-hop’s first billionaire in 2019.
