not a typo and is in fact Rihanna’s net worth – our jaws are on the floor too.The Umbrella hitmaker has overtaken Kim Kardashian as America’s youngest self-made female billionaire with a net worth of $1.4billion (£1.17bn) at the age of just 34.But it’s not all bad news for Kim K, 41, whose net worth is just a measly $1.8billion (£1.5bn), yanno, nothing major or anything…Kim’s fortune comes from a variety of areas, with her reality TV career bringing in a 10-figure fortune, along with her mobile game, cosmetics brand KKW Beauty, and shapewear brand Skims.Skims, for example, doubled its valuation to $3.2billion (£2.3bn) in less than a year.But, Rihanna’s got her fingers in plenty of pies too, with much of the Barbados export’s fortune coming from her successful cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty.Rihanna – real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty – co owns the company with French luxury retailer LVMH.Fenty Beauty – which has taken make-up lovers by storm with everything from foundations to lip stains to fragrances – generated more than $550million (£419m) in revenue in 2020.While the musician’s fortune mostly comes from her stakes in the fast-growing company, she also has a 30% stake in Savage x Fenty, her lingerie line which raised money at a $1billion (£838k) valuation in February 2021.When it comes to the richest self-made women in the US overall, Rihanna sits pretty at number 21 on the list, but she’s the only billionaire under 40.The youngest non-billionaire on the list is Kim’s sister Kylie Jenner, 24, who was originally crowned Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire in 2018 before her net worth was recalculated.
