Forbes names Rihanna world’s richest female musician






Forbes magazine has named the popular music star, Robyn Fenty, aka Rihanna, the world’s richest female musician.

Rihanna, the magazine said, has reached a billionaire status with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion.




Her latest milestone makes her the wealthiest female musician in the world and the second wealthiest female entertainer, behind Oprah Winfrey.
