Forbes Names Rihanna World’s Richest Female Musician

Rihanna Beats Madonna, Celine Dion And Beyonce To Become Richest Female Musician

A day after Jay Z was named the first hip-hop artist to ever become a billionaire, Rihanna is being celebrated today for her outstanding financial achievements.

When she broke onto the scene, it would have been difficult to predict that the teenager singing “Pon De Replay” would be nearing a billion dollars herself but she’s getting there.

In a few years, RiRi has a serious chance at hitting the big Bag because she’s being valued at a whopping $600 million by Forbes, beating out Madonna at $570 million, Celine Dion at $450 million and Beyonce at $400 million.

We haven’t heard any new music from her in a minute but that’s only because the pop star has been busy getting her brand up in other ways. Her Fenty Beauty line is one of the most popular products in Sephora stores worldwide.

There is nothing that Rihanna can’t do and it’s honestly no surprise that she’s being crowned by Forbes as the world’s richest female musician.

With sales of over 250 million records worldwide, Rihanna is the second-best-selling female music artist of all time and the highest-certified female artist of all time on the RIAA’s Top Artists (Digital Singles) ranking. She has achieved 14 number-one singles, 32 top-ten singles in the US, and 31 top-ten entries in the UK.

Her accolades include nine Grammy Awards, 13 American Music Awards (including the Icon Award), 12 Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, the NAACP’s President’s Award, and an Academy Award nomination.
