Rihanna is officially a billionaire. 🤑

Here's how her game-changing beauty and fashion lines helped her land among the world's wealthiest entrepreneurs. 👇

Rihanna grew up around music, but her first big break came in 2003 when she met record producer Evan Rogers while he was on vacation in Barbados.

She's now sold over 60 million albums and won eight Grammy Awards, and has earned millions from her music.

Rihanna has also grossed millions from touring.

Her 2013 Diamonds World Tour earned her more than $140 million, and ahead of her 2016 Anti World Tour, she signed a $25 million sponsorship deal with Samsung.

Though she's been making hit records since she was 17, most of Rihanna's fortune actually stems from her business ventures — namely, her makeup and skincare brand, Fenty Beauty, and her lingerie line, Savage X Fenty.

Rihanna's first foray into business came in 2011 when she released her first fragrance, Reb'l Fleur, which reportedly garnered $80 million in sales in its first year.

She has since released nearly a dozen fragrances, with another on the way.

Over the years, she's inked deals with fashion companies like Puma, Armani, Dior, CoverGirl, and MAC.

In 2015, Rihanna also took a stake in music streaming service Tidal, which netted her a reported $9 million when it was sold six years later to Square.

But Rihanna's ascendance to mogul status kicked into high gear in 2017, when she launched Fenty Beauty.

The brand's goal from the get-go has been to promote inclusivity in the beauty industry by offering products made for a broad array of skin tones.

Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in partnership with French luxury-goods giant LVMH, which owns half the company.

Rihanna previously owned 15% of Fenty Beauty, but has since upped her stake to 50%, according to Forbes.

Shortly after launching her beauty empire, Rihanna introduced another venture: Savage X Fenty, a size- and skin-tone-inclusive lingerie line.

The brand carries lingerie in sizes up to 3X and includes nude color options in a wide range of shades.

In 2019, LVMH announced that Rihanna would found her own luxury fashion line, "Fenty," making her the first woman to create her own brand at the luxury house.

But earlier this year, the ready-to-wear line was paused "pending better conditions."

Still, those rare missteps seem not to have dented Rihanna's fortune.

At just 33, she's amassed a beauty and fashion empire and built a net worth of $1.7 billion.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has taken a huge hit to his empire this month.

Here’s how it all started. ⬇️

The firestorm began when the rapper engaged in a series of controversial and offensive behaviors, which ultimately cost him several brand deals.

businessinsider.com/kanye-west-des…
The losses have cost Ye billions, he says, but he's unfazed. In an Instagram post Thursday, he said, "I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I'm still alive."

As of Thursday morning, @Forbes estimates his net worth is $400 million.

Farrell says that "The Office" was one of the better writers rooms in terms of having at least a few people of different cultures and ethnicities — it had more people of color in its writers room than most of the shows at the time.

People may or may not be surprised to hear this but — reality shows are actually not @MaryFitzgerald_’s cup of tea. She said watching drama and people fighting makes her uneasy.

Still, being on "Selling Sunset" on @netflix has been good for business. ⬇️

Fitzgerald said the cast has garnered clients from the show, and they’re selling at higher price points.

For her personally, she has price cutoffs now: Fitzgerald won't sell any house under $2 million unless it's a favor for a friend.

She said the Oppenheim Group gets a lot of fake clients because of the exposure.

People write in and pretend to be potential clients because they want to meet them. Fitzgerald said they have to be extra cautious to avoid wasting their time.
