Rihanna: Megastar, Mother, and More

By: Amber Wilson
Few people in the entertainment industry achieve icon status, and Rihanna is one of them. With a net worth of over 1.4 billion USD, it is no secret that Rihanna has influence. On Sunday, February 12, Rihanna was the headlining artist at the famous Super Bowl Halftime Show, a spot coveted in the music industry. Her halftime performance marked her return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus following the release of her eighth studio album Anti.
During her hiatus, Rihanna branched out into the makeup industry with her brand Fenty Beauty, known for its inclusivity in shades for foundation and concealer. Fenty Beauty launched in 2017 and has a worth of over 2.8 billion USD. Sold in Sephora and Ulta stores as well as the company’s website, Fenty Beauty has changed the landscape of the makeup industry in terms of diversity in product lines and marketing.
On May 13, 2022, Rihanna gave birth to her first child with well-known American rapper A$AP Rocky. The two of them have been together since 2020. In her Superbowl performance, Rihanna unzipped her Fenty x SAVAGE puffer coat to reveal a baby bump, announcing her second pregnancy with A$AP Rocky in a press conference the following day.
British Vogue had the pleasure of hosting Rihanna after her show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl, where Rihanna shared that her top priorities this year are being a good mother and releasing a new album.
