Next is Rihanna, who went from a young island girl from Barbados to a fashion icon, legendary musician, and groundbreaking entrepreneur — to name a few. Rihanna’s net worth sits at $1.4 billion, a new feat that she achieved, as reported by AfroTech in 2021.

While fans may still be waiting for new music from the 34-year-old, she continues grinding her way to the top through her successful Fenty Beauty brand and the equally successful Savage x Fenty lingerie brand. Her brands have laid the groundwork for inclusivity in spaces where the standard does not reflect people who look like us.
