Pop star Rihanna has been named as one of Britain’s richest women – with a fortune of £468million. A record 150 of the 1,000 wealthiest people in the UK are women, according to the latest edition of the Sunday Times Rich List.
Of those, 25 are billionaires – another all-time high. Barbadian singer Rihanna, 32, makes it on to the list because she is now based in London.
Her huge wealth is thanks in part to the storming success of her Fenty business brand, which stretches from cosmetics to fashion.
She said in an interview last year: “I never thought I would make this much money, so a number is not going to stop me from working.” She is ranked 48th in the list of wealthiest women.
