Rihanna becomes the youngest self-made billionaire
According to Forbes List 2022, Rihanna’s net worth is $1.4 billion, and she is now the youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States.
Forbes also stated that the singer is the first billionaire from Barbados and the only woman under 40 on 2022’s list of female billionaires in the U.S.
The singer will likely add more money to her name since she recently teased new music. In an interview with Vogue, Rihanna stated,
“I’m looking at my next project completely differently from the way I had wanted to put it out before. I think this way suits me better, a lot better. It’s authentic, it’ll be fun for me, and it takes a lot of the pressure off.”
The controversy that surrounded Kylie Jenner when she was given the title of self-made billionaire

Moreover, Forbes also released a statement in which they said they had “recalculated Kylie’s net worth and concluded that she is not a billionaire,” and that a “more realistic accounting of her personal fortune puts it at just under $900 million.” However, despite the controversy, Kylie Jenner is still the youngest person on the Forbes list of America’s richest self-made women.
