Forbes has released its annual billionaires’ list, and several celebrities have made the cut, including Rihanna, Jay Z, and Kim Kardashian. This marks the second year in a row that they have been named among the world’s richest people.
Rihanna, who has diversified her portfolio by venturing into lingerie and beauty with her brand Fenty, has earned the 2,002nd spot on the list with a net worth of $1.4 billion, down from $1.7 billion last year. She has also helped her French business partner Bernard Arnault, the chairman of French luxury goods giant LVMH, overthrow Elon Musk to become the richest person in the world after his net worth grew by more than $50 billion to $211 billion.
Kim Kardashian, founder of the shapewear clothing line Skims, has secured the 2,259th spot on the list, with a net worth of $1.2 billion. Skims is worth an estimated $3.2 billion, and her success has been massive.
Meanwhile, Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West was dropped from the list after Adidas cut ties with him over his anti-Semitic comments. Last year, West was ranked number 1,513 on Forbes’ rich list and had a multi-year deal with the sports company for his brand Yeezy.
Other celebrities on the list include Jay-Z and Oprah Winfrey.
