Rihanna’s Net Worth Reportedly Falls by Nearly 30 Percent Amid “Business Setbacks”

Rihanna, a global icon, has built one of the most successful female celebrity empires. While her fortune hit a high of $1.4 billion in 2024, marking a landmark year for Fenty Beauty, recent reports from Forbes indicate a 29 percent drop in her net worth. This puts her at No. 35 on Forbes' "America’s Richest Self-Made Women" list.

The $400 million decline is attributed to several factors. A key one was the CEO of Savage X Fenty's departure in August 2024 to lead Victoria's Secret. Additionally, Fenty Beauty sales are estimated to be flat, facing a "challenging environment" since its China launch last year.

Despite this financial update, Rihanna remains incredibly active. Her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty, released a Bridal Collection and continues to drop new pieces. Fenty Beauty brought back Body Lava, launched a Roblox experience, and debuted new mascaras.

On a personal note, Rihanna also made headlines with the announcement of her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala with A$AP Rocky. She's previously expressed a desire to "try for a girl."

Rihanna's journey continues to be one of dynamic growth, even as her empire navigates the ever-changing tides of business.
