With an estimated net worth of $600 million, Rihanna, 31, is the world’s richest female musician, reported Natalie Robehmed of Forbes.
That level of wealth puts her a long ways from her childhood. “When I was younger, I couldn’t afford everything, but a pair of Timberlands: That was my Dior,” Rihanna told T: The New York Times St yle Magazine. “And I had to save my money for a whole school year to get those Timberlands that I wanted, and I did it.”
It’s a determined attitude that helped the singer get to where she is today. Her fortune isn’t just from her music — she’s been able to grow it through brand partnerships and her own product lines.
While she’s known to splurge on beauty, fashion, and vacations, Rihanna prioritizes spending money on others, whether it’s her family or those in need. She’s heavily involved in charity work and was named Harvard’s humanitarian of the year in 2017, reported Kelly Lawler for USA Today.
Below, see how Rihanna earns and spends her fortune.
