The pop star turned beauty mogul Rihanna has become a billionaire.
according to Forbes, She is now worth $1.7 billion, making her the richest female musician in the world.
Most of her wealth comes from her cosmetics and skin care brand Fenty Beauty, which she owns 50% of. The other half is held by the French luxury goods group LVMH, which owns high-end brands such as Christian Dior, Givenchy and Celine.
Fenty Beauty was originally launched in 2017 and only launched cosmetics.By the end of the first full calendar year of operations, it had generated $550 million in revenue, making it more successful than other celebrity brands, such as Kim KardashianKKW Beauty by Kylie Jenner, Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner and Honest Co. by Jessica Alba.
What is the secret of Fenty Beauty’s success?
There is no doubt that Rihanna’s international reputation was a huge springboard when the brand was first launched.Has more than 100 million fans Instagram Compared to other people who have just started a new business, she has incredible influence alone.
“From a brand and PR perspective, Rihanna’s success on Fenty is pure genius,” Brenda Gabriel Tell Weekly newspaper.

“Her team successfully used Rihanna’s celebrity influence and brand loyalty to launch one of the most successful beauty series in the world.”
Although she is a world-renowned musician, the brand does not need to rely on its celebrity face to succeed.
Based on inclusiveness, this flagship product became its Pro Filt’r foundation, with 40 shades – the most of the mainstream beauty brands at the time. It has since expanded to 50.
“The lack of representation in the beauty industry is surprising…they cater to all skin tones. This is something other beauty brands have not done,” Marketing Consultant Karina Scott Add to.
“Regardless of the industry, inclusiveness and diversity should be the main driving force of any brand. By 2021, people should be able to shop without hesitation, and whether these brands cater to their skin color.
“Regardless of your skin color or gender, makeup should cater to everyone.”
As a black woman, Rihanna had previously admitted her efforts in finding makeup that suits her skin tone. Gabriel says this gives authenticity to the brand.
“The fact that Rihanna is a black icon specifically recognizes the struggle of black women, which makes them love her and her destructive personality even more.

“Black women want to support a black brand that is’built for them’, and everyone is happy to support a brand that takes the pulse of inclusiveness.”
Scott agrees with this, adding: “Fenty Beauty has spoken to all the people in the world who are considered hindsight in the beauty industry… Now, if your brand is not inclusive, you will be excluded.”
Gabriel also believes that Rihanna’s timing is just right, and it will be released a year after Beyoncé’s visual album is released. lemonade, She said: “The trend of unapologetic personality to black women has done a lot, rather than trying to achieve European-centric beauty standards. In some ways, Fenty is a natural extension of this attitude.”

Early support from LVMH also provided the brand with accessibility and affordability, making the products available in Sephora stores worldwide.
