Rihanna Networth

How much money does Rihanna have?

Rihanna is one of the most successful singers of modern times and has already sold over 100 million records. The US financial magazine Forbes estimates their  annual income at around 70 million US dollars , which according to current research seems very realistic to us. The superstar has an estimated fortune of around 1.6 billion euros . If you consider that she was almost bankrupt in 2009, this sum is definitely impressive. Her musical success definitely proves her right. However, the billion dollar fortune does not come from her music, but from her brand Fenty Beauty, of which she still holds 50% of the shares.

Privately, Rihanna is in a relationship with rapper A$AP Rocky and rumors of an imminent marriage are already brewing. The couple also welcomed their first child in May 2022.

The career of Rihanna

Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988 in Barbados. The singer discovered her love for music very early on and founded a school band at the age of 15, in which she and two friends were singers. The fact that a music producer, Evan Rogers, would listen to the band should be worth it for Rihanna in particular. Although he wasn’t interested in all the girls, he asked Rihanna to sing to him individually. When he was convinced of the quality of her voice and her ability, he decided to record a demo tape with her. Rogers should make it possible for the still young singer to audition for the well-known label DefJam (LL COOL J) and the label boss at the time, Jay-Z , was also there, very happy with Rihanna’s voice and offered her a record deal.

Incredible achievements with music

Their first album, which was released just a few months later, should already be extremely successful. “Music of the Sun” reached number 10 in the US, number 35 in England and went on to go gold in both countries. On the other hand, there was no award in Germany, the third most important music market, and the album also failed to go gold in Austria or Switzerland, although it was able to establish itself in the charts in all three German-speaking countries.

The second album “A Girl Like Me” was to be much more successful and even went platinum with a US chart position at number 5. The album sold more than 2 million copies worldwide .

A great international success was “Good Girl Gone Bad” – in both English-speaking and German-speaking countries. The album sold around 3 million copies in the United States alone, 2 million copies in England and reached number 4 in Germany, number 3 in Austria and number 1 in Switzerland. The album was then awarded double platinum in Germany, platinum in Austria, triple platinum in Switzerland and also double platinum in England and the USA. The album was also a success with the critics and was received positively to very positively in most cases.

More top albums

Rihanna was also able to celebrate great success with the next albums “Rated R”, “Loud”, “Talk Talk Talk” and “Unapologetic”, but none of the albums “Good Girl Gone Bad” managed to surpass sales. The intervening single “love the way you lie” with rapper Eminemwas one of the biggest successes. Nevertheless, she achieved her personal best chart placement in the Billboard charts with an album with “Unapologetic”, since the album reached number 1 on the US charts. In Germany, the album reached third place in the Media Control Charts and only achieved gold status. Nevertheless, the singer holds several records – both in the German and in the US charts, as she was represented in the Media Control and Billboard charts for 100 weeks with her numerous singles between 2007 and 2009. Only Only Michael Jackson (1st place) and the Backstreet Boys (2nd place) were continuously represented in both charts for longer and the Backstreet Boys (2nd place) were continuously represented in both charts for longer.

In early 2016, the album “Anti” was released, which was produced under Jay-Z ‘s Roc Nation and released exclusively on the music streaming service Tidal. She also worked with rapper Drake (Work), among others, and made a fortune from the deal.

Other sources of income:

Billions in fortune with “Fenty Beauty” and “Savage X Fenty”

In 2016, Rihanna worked with the sporting goods manufacturer Puma for her first fashion collection “ Fenty x Puma ”. In 2017 her beauty line “Fenty Beauty” was launched under LVMH ( Bernard Arnault ). LVMH also owns brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy and Moët & Chandon. She herself holds 50% of the shares and the company is valued at over 2 billion US dollars at over 100 million US dollars.

As the second successful company, the singer founded the underwear brand “Savage X Fenty” in 2018 together with “Tech Style Fashion Group”. She owns 30% of the shares and also makes a fortune at a valuation of one billion US dollars.

movies

Rihanna has also appeared as an actress again and again. She has played guest and supporting roles in many films (Girls United, Battleship,…). In Ocean’s 8 she also played a major role for the first time in 2018. In 2019 she also played a leading role in the musical film Guava Island.

your possessions

For a number of years, Rihanna lived in a mansion in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, but sold it to move to a larger property dubbed The Fortress for its sheer size. The singer also owns a villa in her native Barbados , which she bought for 22 million US dollars . Although this mansion isn’t intended to be her primary residence, she bought the property to spend more time with her family, according to pagesix. In general, the singer is known for often selling her existing properties in order to acquire new ones. As a result, she also had to accept losses that apparently resulted from incorrect advice, as the singer claims. No problem with a fortune of 1.6 billion euros.
