Female musicians like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Rihanna have become incredibly successful and wealthy. These talented artists have managed to capture the hearts of fans worldwide and are now reaping the financial rewards. Forbes recently released a list of the 15 richest female celebrities in the United States, and all three superstars made the cut.
Rihanna, age 35, stands out among the three with the highest net worth, a staggering $1.4 billion. She achieved billionaire status in 2021, a remarkable feat. Much of her fortune comes from her makeup line, Fenty Beauty, which she launched back in 2017. Currently, Rihanna is expecting her second child with rapper A$AP Rocky, making her personal life just as exciting as her professional success.
Taylor Swift, on the other hand, boasts a net worth of $740 million. In the past year, she has significantly increased her fortune, adding a whopping $170 million to her wealth. The 33-year-old singer owes a large part of her success to her record-breaking Eras Tour. Additionally, her most recent album, “Midnights,” quickly rose to the top of the charts, solidifying her status as a musical powerhouse.
Beyoncé, age 41, is also making waves in the music industry. Her seventh album, “Renaissance,” has been a tremendous success, and she is currently on her first solo tour in seven years. The talented singer’s net worth has soared to $540 million, an increase of $90 million from the previous year. Beyoncé’s accomplishments extend beyond her music, as she recently made history by winning her 32nd Grammy Award, breaking the record for the artist with the most Grammy wins.
Joining them on the list of richest female celebrities are Madonna ($580 million), Céline Dion ($480 million), Dolly Parton ($440 million), and Barbra Streisand ($430 million). These women have not only conquered the music industry but have also made smart business decisions to secure their financial success.
It’s worth noting that the Forbes list of the richest female celebrities includes more than just musicians. Accomplished individuals like Shonda Rhimes, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Judy Sheindlin, known for her famous show “Judge Judy,” also feature prominently. Their diverse talents and entrepreneurial ventures have propelled them to great financial heights.
