Singer, actress, entrepreneur: Robyn Fenty - known as Rihanna - has many talents.
And according to estimates by the US magazine "Forbes", she has now made it into a particularly exclusive club.
Rihanna is therefore officially a billionaire.
As the magazine reports, Rihanna's net worth is estimated at $ 1.7 billion.
So she leads the ranking of the richest musicians.
Whereby the music is not their main source of income.
An estimated $ 1.4 billion of Rihanna's fortune went back to her cosmetic line Fenty Beauty, as the magazine writes.
She founded it in 2017 and still holds 50 percent of the shares.
The other half belongs to the French luxury goods group LVMH.
The remaining part of her fortune is fed according to the information from the underwear company Savage x Fenty, as well as from Rihanna's work as a singer and actress.
Rihanna is the second richest entertainer according to "Forbes": In front of her there is only Oprah Winfrey.
Rihanna wanted to set up a cosmetics company with Fenty Beauty that is aimed at all women.
Foundation is available in 50 different shades, for example;
including those aimed at women with darker skin.
This was a rarity on the market, especially in the first few years after the company was founded.
Musically, however, it has recently been quieter around Rihanna.
Her last studio album so far, »Anti«, was released in 2016.
