In recent years, Rihanna has lost her title of the world's richest female musician to Taylor Swift. However, given that she's largely stayed out of the limelight while raising her family, it's little surprise. According to Forbes, she's currently worth $1 billion (£736m), down from a peak of $1.7 billion (£1.3bn) in 2022.

In April 2026, the star made history again, becoming the first woman to exceed 200 million RIAA singles certifications. It's a remarkable feat given that she hasn't released an album in a decade, and it is a testament to her enduring appeal. It seems certain the world has not seen the last of Rihanna.
