Rihanna (L) came ahead of Madonna (C) and Beyonce

 

Rihanna is the richest female musician in the world, according to Forbes.

 

The Barbados-born singer has accumulated a fortune of about $600m (£472m), most of which comes from her fashion and makeup businesses.

 

Forbes said Rihanna's wealth exceeds that of other artists such as Madonna, worth about £448m, Celine Dion, worth £350m, and Beyonce, worth £314m.

 

The 31-year-old's makeup brand, Fenty Beauty, was launched in 2017 and quickly became a viral success, reportedly making $100m (about £78m) in its first 40 days.

Just like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, they can make more money advertising than what their talent brings them...

 

BTW if they do not "play" an instrument, are they considered musicians?

 

These three "beautiful" ladies are lyric writers and video stars, yet without the millions$ in choreography, make-up, song mixing, and vocally "enhanced" singing  - are they really "musicians" ?

I once bought a second hand CD of Madonna's as it was dirt cheap, but nothing from either of the other two.

Does it say something about the world today that people with limited appeal can make mega bucks?
