Becoming the richest female musician in the world, the pop mogul has so far bagged four Grammy’s and sold more than 250 million records.
Although not all her business ventures have paid her off, however, Fenty Beauty that Rihanna launched in 2017 in collaboration with luxury goods company LVMH has been a successful hit.
The most successful beauty entrepreneur started her journey in this sector as she wanted to establish a cosmetics company that ensured women everywhere are treated and looked at equally.
The product line caters to a diverse range of skin tones through 50 foundation shades for women.
Interestingly, the line brought in more than $550 million in annual revenue in its first year.
Apart from her business journey, Rihanna debuted in the music industry in May 2005 with her single Pon de Replay.
