A number of music superstars, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Madonna, have made it to Forbes‘ annual list of the richest self-made women in the United States.
Rihanna, a new entrant to the list, made her debut at No. 33, with an estimated net worth of $600 million in 2019. Despite her musical success, Rihanna made the bulk of her fortune from her makeup brand Fenty Beauty. She also co-owns the Savage X Fenty lingerie line.
The 32-year-old Barbados native was also on Forbes‘ top 100 celebrity list this year and among Power Women in 2019.
Madonna, one of the top pop divas of all time, was ranked at No. 40. The 62 year-old singer has grossed an estimated $550 million. In 1990, she became the first woman entrepreneur to appear on a Forbes cover.
Swift, 30, is estimated to have a net worth of $365 million last year. The album Lover she released in 2019 helped Swift move more than 4 million units during between June 2019 and June 2020.
Celine Dion ($455 million), Beyoncé ($420 million), Barbra Streisand ($400 million), Lady Gaga ($150 million) and Jennifer Lopez ($150 million) are the other female musicians on the list.
