<p>The magazine estimates her wealth at 600 million US dollars, about £472 million, largely thanks to her cosmetics business, Fenty Beauty.</p>

<p>The brand, which Rihanna, 31, launched in 2017 and is a part-owner of, is worth more than 3 billion dollars, according to Forbes.</p>

<p>It has made her the richest female musician, Forbes said, ahead of Madonna, Celine Dion and Beyonce.</p>
<p>Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Bridgetown, Barbados in 1988 and moved to the US in 2005 to pursue a career in music.</p>
<p>She signed with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Recordings after the rapper had been impressed with her song Pon de Replay, which became the lead track from her debut album, Music Of The Sun.</p>
<p>The single reached number two in the UK charts, while the album sold more than two million copies around the world.</p>

<p>Rihanna followed it up with 2006’s A Girl Like Me, which spawned the successful singles SOS, Unfaithful and Break It Off.</p>
<p>Her status as a pop superstar was cemented a year later with the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad.</p>
<p>A global hit, it reached number one in the UK album charts thanks to the singles Don’t Stop the Music, Shut Up And Drive, and Umbrella.</p>
<p>The latter was jokingly blamed for 2007’s exceptionally rainy summer</p>

<p>A performance at the 2009 Grammy Awards was cancelled amid rumours her boyfriend, the R&;B singer Chris Brown, had assaulted her.</p>
<p>A now-infamous picture was leaked to the US showbiz website TMZ, showing Rihanna with a visibly bruised and swollen face.</p>
<p>Brown was later sentenced to five years probation. The pair briefly got back together, with Rihanna confirming they were seeing each other in January 2013.</p>
<p>She is now in a relationship with Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel. Rihanna’s first album after the Brown controversy, Rated R, marked a musical departure for the singer, moving away from her pop-heavy previous efforts.</p>

<p>It contained the singles Rude Boy and Te Amo. Rihanna has since released four studio albums, most recently 2016’s Anti, but has branched out beyond music.</p>
<p>As well as her beauty brand, she is also behind a lingerie brand, Fenty X Savage.</p>
<p>Last month it was announced Rihanna was to be the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH, the French luxury goods company.</p>
<p>Rihanna is also an actress and appeared in 2018 heist film Ocean’s 8, as part of a female-led ensemble cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway.</p>
