She’s also the second-wealthiest female entertainer overall—behind Oprah Winfrey, 67. “Rihanna is happy about reaching billionaire status, but she gets a lot of that fulfillment from the time and energy she put into building such an enviable business,” says a music management source. “She’s a one-woman machine.” While Rihanna’s wealth makes her the richest female music star, the majority of her earnings comes from her fashion and beauty businesses.
