WHO IS THIS GIRL THAT WAS SELLING THINGS ON THE STREETS, LATER SHE BECAME A BILLIONAIRE WITH HER MUSIC
The iconic singer, was born in 1988, in Bridgetown, Barbados. Her father owned a warehouse, and her mother was an accountant. She has a humble past, as her family were not incredibly rich.
She was the oldest of her three siblings, and her father had left a mark on her childhood, since he was a cocaine addict, and was harmful towards her mother.
As she was dealing with the toxic marriage of her parents, she was also responsible for her siblings, as she was taking care of them, as her mother was working hard for her children, while her father had continued with his addiction, and hostile actions.
She was seven, when her father had slapped her, without any reason, as she stated, “out of nowhere,” as she had played for 10 more minutes at the beach.
As her father was a street vendor, and an entrepreneur, she had took the good qualities of her father, and she had revelaed her entrepreneurial way when she was young.
She was selling snacks on the streets, and also sold, hats, belts, scarves too.
“She used to sell stuff on the side of the street like I did.” Her father said.
“The first time I heard her sing, she was three years old, lying on her bed with a hairbrush for a microphone.”
The singer we are talking about, is the one and only, Rihanna. She went to a school talent pageant, when she was 15. Evan Rogers had discovered her, and the rest is history.
As she is a successful artist, the source of her wealth comes from Fenty Beauty, and Savage x Fenty lingerie company. Back in 2021, the worth of the company was $270 million.
According to Forbes, net worth of Rihanna is $1.7 billion, and her company, Fenty Beauty, added $1.4 billion to her net worth. She is the richest female musician of all time, and the second female on the entertainment business, as Oprah is the first on the list.
As she had gained huge fame and success over the years, Rihanna kept her connection with her family, as back in 2012, she had bought a five bedroom house to her mother, who had struggled a lot during her childhood.
She became a mother in 2022, with her partner, A$AP Rocky. The couple had their son, RZA Athelston, and then in 2023, they had welcomed their second son, Riot Rose Mayers.
Rihanna stated that it is a new world for her, as she talked about motherhood. She added that raising black sons in a world that is hostile to people, is bringing lots of responsibilities.
She had made her return with the Super Bowl, as she was away for seven years. She had released her last album in 2016.
As she had went through a lot, her return to the stages is the sign that she has the unyielding spirit that would bring her back, whenever she wants.
