Rihanna is now officially a billionaire and the wealthiest female musician in the world, according to Forbes.

The pop star is worth $US1.7 billion with an estimated $1.4 billion coming from the value of her Fenty Beauty cosmetics company.

The rest of her fortune mostly comes from lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million, and her earnings from music and acting.

She is second only to Oprah Winfrey as the world's richest female entertainer.

Rihanna - whose real name is Robyn Fenty - launched Fenty Beauty in 2017 in a partnership with luxury goods company LVMH.
