RIHANNA – EST. $500 MILLION

She hasn’t released a single in the last couple of years—so how exactly did Rihanna manage to boost her net worth by several million? The key to her success is investment planning. Rihanna’s got more up her sleeve than just chart-topping tunes. She’s also heavily involved in her personal empire of businesses, ranging from lingerie to her popular make-up line.

A large part of her net worth comes from the value of the Fenty Beauty line that she cooperated with luxury goods company LVMH. The brand created 100 million US dollars in revenue. She owns 15% of the partnership. She also co-owns an underwear brand called Savage X Fenty. At 31, we wouldn’t be too surprised if she becomes the first black woman to be at the helm of a luxury fashion house. Just last year, Fenty Beauty managed to make $570 million in revenue—after only 15 months of being in business.
