Thanks to her Fenty Beauty cosmetics, her income reached 1.7 billion last year.

Rihanna made the Forbes Billionaires List for the first time, earning $1.7 billion last year. It was not music that brought her a huge income, but her own Fenty Beauty cosmetics line.

However, at 1729 on the list, 34-year-old Rihanna has become the richest female musician in the world. Last year, cosmetics brought her $550 million.

Kanye West turned out to be a little richer than Rihanna - he has 1513 place with $2 billion that he earned, including selling shoes. Jay-Z has an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion and is ranked #2076.
