How much is Rihanna’s net worth: the earnings and investments of the singer who has now become a billionaire according to Forbes.
How much does Rihanna earn? This is always a hot question, considering she’s one of four people in the music industry who, according to Forbes, can be counted among the billionaires.
In addition to Rihanna, this select group also includes Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and the unrivaled Jay-Z, who is said to be worth a staggering $2.5 billion.
In recent years, Rihanna has become famous for a unique combination of musical talent, charisma, fashion sense, entrepreneurial spirit, and global cultural impact.
It’s no coincidence that she’s considered one of the most influential figures in the 21st century’s entertainment industry, but her wealth, in addition to her music, is also due to the success of her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line.
Let’s take a detailed look at Rihanna’s net worth, including the earnings and investments of Barbados’ most famous export.
Rihanna’s Net Worth
As of september 2025, according to the American music magazine Forbes, Rihanna’s net worth would be $1.4 billion.
Also according to Forbes’ analysis, the singer’s net worth was $1.7 billion in 2022, which stabilized at $1.4 billion starting in 2023.
How did she make all this money? Rihanna released nine albums (from 2005 to 2016), selling over 250 million records, becoming one of the best-selling artists of all time.
At the same time, she has also become famous as a successful entrepreneur, not to mention the millions of followers she boasts across various social media.
Rihanna’s Investments
Rihanna - real name Robyn Fenty - is considered a global fashion icon. Known for her bold, experimental, and influential style, she has launched several collaborations with fashion brands - such as Puma - and has walked the runway at major fashion events.
In 2017, she founded the cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, while in 2020, she became the first Black woman to found a fashion house for LVMH with the FENTY brand.
Cosmetics and beauty aren’t the only areas in which the singer-entrepreneur is interested: she is also estimated to hold a 28% stake in the Savage x Fenty lingerie line.
Rihanna’s Earnings
Rihanna, however, is above all a singer, earning approximately $140–200 million directly from music over the course of her career.
The cosmetics company, which she co-owns with French luxury retailer LVMH, doubled its revenue in 2022, proving stronger than the pandemic.
Fenty Beauty, in fact, turns over $550 million annually, with the singer owning a 50% stake in the company she founded with LVMH.
Savage x Fenty, on the other hand, raised $125 million in a funding round in January 2022.
According to online reports, Savage x Fenty is valued at over a billion dollars: her music brought her fame, but her investments have made her a billionaire.
Biography and Career
Rihanna was born on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, on the island of Barbados. Raised in a difficult family environment, she found refuge in music from a young age.
Her life changed radically when, at just 15, she was discovered by American producer Evan Rogers during a vacation in Barbados. Shortly thereafter, she moved to the United States and signed a contract with Def Jam Recordings, under the guidance of Jay-Z.
Her musical debut came in 2005 with the single Pon de Replay, which immediately achieved great international success. But it was with her 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad and the hit song Umbrella that Rihanna truly exploded onto the global scene, becoming a pop icon.
From then on, her career was a succession of global hits: Diamonds, We Found Love, Only Girl (In the World), and Work are just some of her most famous songs. In total, she has won 9 Grammy Awards, ranking among the most awarded and influential artists in music history.
