Pretty Suited

We all have been told the American dream of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and creating financial freedom, right? Well, while this dream may seem out of reach for some, this nine-time Grammy Award winner has not let her foot off the gas on the road to success since she first stepped onto the scene back in 2005. This Barbadian queen has climbed not only the charts, but the successful ladder of the fashion and beauty industry, obtaining the top spot on the 2022 Forbes list of ”America’s Richest Self-Made Women”.

Bih Better Have My Money

Rih Rih has wowed her fans and admirers over the years with her sultry voice and ”bad gal” vibes, but has recently decided to pursue other successful avenues like her lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, and her wildly acclaimed Fenty Beauty cosmetic line.

Back in 2018, Rihanna partnered with the world renowned LVMH (Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennesey) company, making her the first Black woman to run a major fashion house.

Can someone say “boss”?

According to Forbes, Rihanna’s 30 percent stake in the body-inclusive lingerie company is approximately $270 million! However, the largest chunk of her estimated 1.7 billion fortune comes from her 50 percent ownership in Fenty Beauty, which continues to expand as the fastest growing cosmetics company. 

Although the entrepreneur has stepped away from the studio in recent years, let’s not forget to mention that her music catalog expands almost two decades and continues to bring in revenue. Her many classics and memorable albums are still breaking streaming records worldwide and chart on Billboard even years later! 

The “Grrrr” in Girl Power

While it is inspiring to see this mogul’s accomplishments pile up, we will always stan for a queen who makes an effort to create products that include those who are often underrepresented and underserved.

We have all witnessed and appreciated Fenty’s influence on make-up companies providing broader foundation shades for all skin tones, making color matching a priority and luxury for consumers everywhere.

Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie line showcases beautiful models of all shapes, gender identities, ethnicities, and sizes feeling sexy in their skin, and the fashion shows turn into epic performances of artistic and creative expressions.

While many of us are still waiting on the next studio project from Rihanna (just give us an interlude or something please!) and a glimpse of baby Rih Rocky, we’re just proud of our good sis for finding love, becoming a new mom, and living out her dreams.

Congratulations Rihanna!
