Just months after becoming a mom, Rihanna is celebrating yet another major milestone. 

The 34-year-old superstar and entrepreneur has officially been named by Forbes as the youngest self-made billionaire!

Forbes released its 2022 list of “America’s Riches Self-Made Women” last month, and Riri earned a top spot among their annual ranking of the nation’s most financially successful female entrepreneurs, entertainers, executives, and more. 

Rihanna, who has a net worth of $1.4 billion, is at number 21 on the list — and she is the youngest billionaire to make the cut. Forbes put her self-made score as a 10, which, according to the outlet, means that those who score a 10 “would need to have been born into poverty or the lower middle class, and faced adversity such as abuse, bring left an orphan or forced to work low-paying jobs.”

Last year, Forbes announced that she had officially become the wealthiest female musician in the world, second only to Oprah as the world’s richest female entertainer. 

She reached billionaire status in August 2021 thanks in large part to her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line.
