Rihanna is officially a billionaire thanks to her Fenty fortune

Rihanna is officially a billionaire now so we can all forgive her for the lack of new music, right?

According to Forbes, the 33-year-old is now worth an estimated $1.7 billion (£1.2bn) which makes her the wealthiest female musician.

We guess her single B***h Better Have My Money did what it needed to do.

Riri is now second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer and we love to see it.

The bulk of her fortune (an estimated $1.4 bn) comes from the value of Fenty Beauty, which Forbes has stated she owns 50% of.

The rest of her fortune comes from her stake in the popular lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, which is reportedly worth around $270 m (£193m).

Then there’s all the money she’s made as a chart-topping, award-winning superstar singer.

Plus her earnings as an actress and other business ventures such as Fenty Skin, her now-defunct fashion house, and her popular fragrances.

The singer has plenty to smile about these days thanks to the continued success of her businesses.

Elsewhere, she has promised that an ever-elusive ninth album will be released at some point in time.

Until then, fans will hopefully get to sing along to some new Riri when her upcoming project with A$AP Rocky drops.

Just a little something to play in the background while fans put on their Savage x Fenty undies, get their glow on with Fenty Skin and use Fenty Beauty to create a glam look that would make the singer proud.

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!
