Rihanna has been on a trail of entrepreneurial ventures, most notably in the fashion industry. Her cosmetic brand Fenty Beauty was launched in September 2017. Fenty Beauty was named one of Time magazine’s best inventions of 2017.

In May 2019, Rihanna confirmed that her upcoming ninth studio album would be a reggae project.

Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the Barbadian singer has sold over 250 million records. She is one of the world’s best-selling music artists. She has earned 14 number-one singles and 31 top-ten singles in the US, and 30 top-ten entries in the UK. Her accolades include nine Grammy Awards, 13 American Music Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and six Guinness World Records.

Forbes ranked her among the top ten highest-paid celebrities in 2012 and 2014, and Time named her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world twice (2012 and 2018).

With an estimated net worth of N216,000,000,000 ($600 million), Rihanna is the richest female musician in the world.
