Rihanna Fenty
Singer/actor/entreprneur
Rihanna may be internationally known as "badgalriri" and now “mom,” thanks to the beautiful bundle of joy she welcomed into this world earlier this May. But in July 2022 she added yet another distinction to her body of work as America's youngest woman to become a self-made billionaire with a rumored net worth of $1.4 billion. This feat is due in large part to her booming beauty empire, Fenty Beauty—of which she owns 50%—and the success of her sexy lingerie line Savage X Fenty—of which she owns 30%. In addition to being a bawse on the business front, the Anti artist has continued to make her mark on music and the culture. This fall, it was revealed that she was the featured artist on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, marking her return to music after six looong years. She’ll also be making her debut as the headliner for the 2023 Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show next February--an interesting development, considering how different her relationship to the league was in 2018. That year, she rejected an offer to headline the halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick's protests against police brutality and social injustice. No matter what, like the rest of the world that night, we'll be watching.
