Female musicians likeTaylor Swift,BeyoncéandRihannaare taking their popularity all the way to the bank.
All three superstars — and other singers includingMadonnaandDolly Parton— made the cut onForbes’ listof the 15 richest female celebrities in the United States, which was released on Thursday.
Of the three women, Rihanna, 35, has the highest net worth, with $1.4 billion to her name (she first achieved billionaire status in 2021). The star — who is currentlyexpecting her second childwith rapperA$AP Rocky— has made most of her fortune with her makeup lineFenty Beauty, which she launched in 2017.
The “Diamonds” singer recently stepped back into the spotlight for her first live performance in more than five years, taking the stage at theSuper Bowl halftime showin February before more than 121 million viewers.
Swift, meanwhile, has a net worth of $740 million, and added more to her fortune than any other celebrity over the past year (She’s now worth $170 million more than she was last year).
Much of the 33-year-old “Karma” singer’s wealth is thanks to her record-breakingEras Tour(she gets a cut of all merch sold at her shows) and her most recent albumMidnights, which hit No. 1 upon its release in October.
