Rihanna Named World’s Richest Female Musician

Rihanna has been named world’s richest female musician, just after her mentor Jay-Z became the first rapper to become a billionaire.

Rihanna who has been named world’s richest female musician, is estimated to be worth $600 million ahead of fellow music superstars as Madonna ($570 million), Celine Dion ($450 million) and Beyoncé ($400 million).

She was able to secure number one spot by not focusing only in her music sales or concert proceeds, but rather her savvy move into fashion and partnership with French luxury goods giant LVMH. Their collaboration on Fenty Beauty — which launched in September 2017 at LVMH-owned Sephora — was an out-of-the-box success, with the brand racking up a reported $100 million in sales in just its first few weeks.
