More from Variety
But the bulk of the pop star’s monumental fortune, which Forbes has estimated at $1.7 billion, doesn’t come from the artist’s chart-topping music, but rather from her successful venture into the beauty and fashion space. Fenty Beauty, of which she is now confirmed to own 50%, is valued at $1.4 billion, with a large portion of her wealth also coming from her ultra-successful lingerie line Savage X Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million.
Rihanna is far from the only media mogul who’s found success with a cosmetics line. Fenty Beauty joined the ranks of other successful celebrity-founded beauty brands when it first launched, such as Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, Kim Kardashian West’s KKW Beauty and Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty. But Fenty has them all beat, bringing in more than $550 million after their first calendar year in 2018.
So, to celebrate Rihanna’s fortune — one that makes her the second richest female entertainer behind Oprah Winfrey — we rounded up some of the best (very popular) products from Fenty Beauty.
Limited Edition Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Palette
You’ll want to be fast to snag this limited-edition highlighter palette, which features seven different hyper-metallic shades, designed to make a wide range of skin shades pop. From a stone-cold lavender and icy blue to a fiery copper and tangerine, each versatile hue can be applied on the cheekbone as a highlighter or above lash line for a vibrant eyeshadow.
