The Believe It singer is Barbados' first billionaire, and the world's richest female musician.

She's worth $1.7 billion (£1.3 billion), with most of the earnings generated from her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and the Savage X Fenty lingerie business.

This makes her number 1,729 on the 36th annual list, out of a total of 2,668 names.

Rihanna joins JAY-Z and Kanye West, who are worth $1.4 billion and $2 billion, respectively.

Jay comes in at number 2,076 and Kanye at number 1,513.

The total number of billionaires shrank from last year's 2,755. Collectively, they're worth $12.7 trillion, down from 2021's record $13.1 trillion.
