Rihanna shows off her 'billion-dollar smile' in hot tub after being named a billionaire

Rihanna has made reference to her billionaire status for the very first time in a stunning new Instagram post.

The 33-year-old popstar was officially named a billionaire earlier this month by Forbes Magazine thanks to the incredible success of her Fenty Beauty empire.

The Umbrella hitmaker left her adoring fans drooling as she posed in a sexy red lingerie set from her latest Savage X Fenty collection.

Riri looked sensational as she beamed from ear-to-ear while soaking up the sun in a bubbling hot tub.

Her famous curves were on full display as she showcased her modelling skills in the water.

And in true RiRi style, she accessorised her lingerie set with an array of gold chains which did wonders to spice up the ensemble further.

“Billion-dollar smile” she captioned the fiery post.

The singing sensation is now worth an estimated $1.7billion (£1.2billion) according to Forbes .

If that wasn’t enough, Rihanna is now also the richest female musician on the planet thanks to the incredibly success of her cosmetics brand – Fenty Beauty.

The Barbados native is now the second wealthiest female entertainer in the world, sitting on the tail of Oprah Winfrey who boasts a fortune of $2.7billion (£1.9billion).

Rihanna – whose real name is Robyn Fenty – launched her cosmetics brand back in 2017, and since then, she’s made a permanent mark on the beauty industry thanks to her inclusive products and back-to-basics designs.

Earlier this month, Forbes reported that the bulk of Rihanna’s $1.7 billion fortune comes from her beauty brand and not her 16-year music career.

Her 50 percent stake in her acclaimed cosmetics line Fenty Beauty - a joint venture with French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH – is worth a whopping $2.8billion (£2billion) in total.

Elsewhere, the singer’s $270million (£190million) stake in her Savage X Fenty lingerie line and the incredible success of her music career has also helped to make up her mass fortune.

Rihanna’s high-end makeup brand has turned into a billion-dollar business in less than four years.

After the launch of her much-loved Fenty Skin last year, it looks as though Rihanna’s fortune is set to grow even further now as more and more fans jump on the bandwagon.

In terms of her music career, although Rihanna has not released any new music since 2016, she has amassed a fortune from her recording career which started back in 2005 with her debut single Pon De Replay.

The pop star has sold more than 250million records worldwide and is one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
