No one work, work, work, work, work, works as hard as Bad Gal RiRi.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rihanna-asap-rocky-best-couple-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> meant it when she sang, &ldquo;Bitch, better have my money.&rdquo; She is now a billionaire and has not only been named the richest female musician, but also the second-richest female entertainer, behind <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/oprah-winfrey-viral-moments-gif-meme" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oprah Winfrey</a>, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2021/08/04/fentys-fortune-rihanna-is-now-officially-a-billionaire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a>.
Although she hasn&rsquo;t released music since her last <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/rihanna-new-songs-album-music-works-in-the-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener">album</a> ANTI in 2016, she&rsquo;s been hard at work as a businesswoman and entrepreneur, and at 33, the &ldquo;Needed Me&rdquo; singer has conquered the business world through her brands. Born Robyn Fenty, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rihanna-whale-tail-miniskirt-trend-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> has been a successful musician since the early 2000s, but what gives her billionaire status is <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/rihanna-has-been-teasing-fenty-beauty-s-summer-collection-since-last-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fenty Beauty</a>, the cosmetics company that she launched in 2017, accounting for $1.4 billion of her $1.7 billion net worth. In fact, Forbes estimates that Fenty Beauty is worth $2.8 billion overall. She owns 50% of Fenty Beauty as well as a stake in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rihanna-savage-x-fenty-lingerie-coucou-chloe-islam-hadith-controversy-appropriation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Savage x Fenty</a>, her lingerie company, which is worth an estimated $270 million.

While <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rihanna-pixie-haircut-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RiRi</a> does a fantastic job of marketing Fenty on social media&mdash;she most recently has announced the new Fenty Perfume&mdash;her companies have been successful because she focuses on one principle: inclusivity. The other half of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/rihanna-fenty-beauty-galaxy-holiday-collection-launching-sephora-13-october-2017" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fenty Beauty</a> is owned by LVMH, the French luxury goods company, and together, they launched a series of cosmetic products for people of every size, shape, and skin tone, including darker shades for women of color that were historically harder to find. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/fenty-beauty-s-newest-product-launch-comes-with-a-rihanna-tutorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fenty Beauty</a> cosmetics line made $550 million after just one year, dominating other celebrity cosmetic brands such as Kylie Cosmetics by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kylie-jenner-travis-scott-back-together-relationship-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner</a> and KKW Beauty by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kim-kardashian-fashion-style-rome-vacation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a>.
&ldquo;A lot of women felt there were no lines out there that catered to their skin tone. It was light, medium, medium-dark, dark,&rdquo; Shannon Coyne, co-founder of consumer products consultancy Bluestock Advisors, told Forbes. &ldquo;We all know that&rsquo;s not reality. She was one of the first brands that came out and said, &lsquo;I want to speak to all of those different people.&rsquo;&rdquo;
Additionally, in her fashion shows, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/richest-women-america-list-2020-rihanna-beyonce-jennifer-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> has made sure to include a diverse selection of models with all different body types to promote body positivity. At her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/savage-x-fenty-show-rihanna-lizzo-normani" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 Savage x Fenty fashion show</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rihanna-fenty-decade-music-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> commented that inclusivity has always been &ldquo;second nature&rdquo; to her, and something that comes naturally.
&ldquo;When I imagine something, I imagine everyone that I know and love being a part of it. I want to make stuff that I can see on the people that I know and they come in all different shapes, sizes, races, religions.&rdquo;
Congrats, RiRi&hellip;but can we get a new album now?
