The "Love on the Brain" singer, 34, is worth a hefty $1.4 billion, which puts her at No. 21 on the list, which came out in June. While others, like 41-year-old Kim Kardashian, are ranked higher than Rihanna on the list, the Grammy Award winner is the youngest billionaire to make the cut. Forbes puts her self-made score as a 10, which means she built her own company or established the fortune on her own (Kardashian, for comparison, is listed as a 7). The outlet says those who score a 10 "would need to have been born into poverty or the lower middle class, and faced adversity such as abuse, being left an orphan or forced to work low-paying jobs." Rihanna, who reached billionaire status in August, largely has her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line to thank for her wealth, as it generated more than $550 million in revenue in 2020, and also made her the first person from Barbados to ever make Forbes' list.

She made her debut on Forbes' annual billionaires list in April as the world's wealthiest female musician. Rihanna, who welcomed a son with A$AP Rocky in May, made her first appearance since becoming a mom on Friday at a London barber shop with Rocky, 33.

That title belongs to 24-year-old Kylie Jenner, who is worth $600 million. Other women under age 35 include 27-year-old Lucy Guo, cofounder of the artificial intelligence firm Scale AI ($440 million), 32-year-old Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd ($740 million) and 32-year-old Taylor Swift ($570 million). The oldest person on the list is 95-year-old Alice Schwartz, who founded Bio-Rad in 1952 and is now worth $2.3 billion.
