Rihanna Named As The Youngest Self-Made Woman Billionaire In U.S.

Rihanna is the nation’s youngest self-made woman billionaire.  The 34-year-old singer recently topped Forbes annual list of America’s wealthiest self-made women for the third straight year.  

The nine-time Grammy winner’s estimated net worth of one-point-four billion dollars makes her the only female billionaire on the list under the age of 40.  

Forbes noted Rihanna amassed most of her fortune from her own music and beauty ventures.

The “Umbrella” singer is the CEO and co-owner, along with luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, of the Fenty Beauty cosmetics line, which scored major headlines in 2017 for creating over 40 foundation shades to align with a wide variety of skin tones.
