Yes you read that right – the Kylie Jenner cosmetics CEO grabbed the limelight from her sister Kim Kardashian in 2018, after being crowned by Forbes’ as the youngest self-made billionaire.

But soon enough, a recalculation of her net worth came to light, after which the mom-of-two lost her title. According to reports, Jenners’ net worth currently is $600 million.

But coming back to Rihanna, the ‘Diamonds’ singer’s net worth comfortably sits at $1.4 billion, which as per reports is “partly” due to her successful music career.

And according to Forbes, the nine-time Grammy Award winner’s “stake in the fast-growing cosmetics company” is where the majority of her fortune lies.

Bloomsberg also reported that Savage X Fenty lingerie was working closely with advisors on an “initial public offering,” which could value the company at “$3 billion or more.”
