Rihanna's Biography

Exciting and exotic Rihanna's story began in the Caribbean. Nowadays anyone can unmistakably recognize her unique voice and style, which is a harmonious blend of R'n'B, pop, and reggae. The total number of her number-one singles in America's official charts has even outrun the Pop Diva Madonna. Today Rihanna is not only a famous singer but an actress and a designer. She's the wealthiest female singer in the world. Her net worth is around $1.7 billion.

Childhood

Rihanna (Robyn Rihanna Fenty), better known as Robyn in her early years, was born in paradise - the sun-soaked island of Barbados, with its stunning beaches and hypnotic reggae rhythms. She showed a passion for creativity and performing from a young age, participating in stage productions, beauty pageants, and concerts. As a teenager, inspired by music, she formed her own band with two friends who shared her passion. Her first taste of success came when she won first prize in a singing competition performing Mariah Carey's "Hero."

At 16, Rihanna caught her big break. Through mutual connections, she landed an audition with producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in Barbados at the time. Evan was already quite a successful producer, as he worked with pop-stars like Christina Aguilera.

Robyn's talent and voice so impressed the producer that he immediately offered her a chance to make it in the USA. The future singer's parents, who were separated at the time, didn't stand in the way of her dreams, so Robyn left Barbados without finishing school.

The Beginning of Music Career

Rihanna would later admit her ambitions were sky-high at that time. With Evan's help, Rihanna's demo tapes were sent to various record labels, including one owned by the legendary rapper Jay-Z. He spotted her incredible potential the moment they met - and he wasn't wrong. Rihanna began working under Jay-Z's guidance and stayed with his label for years.

Robyn's career launched that same year (2005) with the infectious "Pon de Replay," which introduced the world to an unknown singer bursting with pure Caribbean charm. The explosive single climbed to the top of the charts, including the prestigious Billboard Hot 100. Rihanna's debut album "Music of the Sun" dropped that same year, selling half a million copies. Rather than rushing into headlining her own shows, Rihanna cut her teeth opening for established stars. Meanwhile, she was already crafting what would become her future hits.

Her sophomore album wasn't far behind. "A Girl Like Me" (2006) landed in the top 5 best-selling albums in both the USA and UK. One of its standout tracks, "SOS," dominated radio airwaves and became the most-played song across stations. The song was later used in one of Nike's sports attire adverts.

Career Pinnacle

Along with music, the singer started taking up movie roles in 2006. «Bring It On: All or Nothing», featuring Rihanna in a cameo role, marked her film debut. Designer Manolo Blahnik publicly praised Rihanna's artistic talents, saying only a true star could possess such gifts.

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2007 the singer released her breakthrough album «Good Girl Gone Bad». The album became a global phenomenon, topping charts in CIS countries, Japan and Brazil. The album's main song «Umbrella» became a worldwide sensation, and brought Rihanna a well-deserved Grammy and the «Breakthrough of the Year» title. This track showcased Rihanna's full vocal range for the first time. She sang this hit of the year together with Jay-Z. The song was written by Rihanna and Justin Timberlake, with Timberlake later providing backing vocals on «Rehab». This explosive album transformed Rihanna's image into something bold and edgy, living up to its provocative title. Rihanna also boldly played around with short haircuts and provocative stage outfits.

Following her highly publicized split from Chris Brown in 2009, Rihanna released the album «Rated R», which included top-of-the-charts «Russian Roulette». Fans immediately picked up on the album's dark, aggressive tone, clearly influenced by her personal struggles. A year later the fiery dance album «Loud» was released, with its lead single «Only Girl». The world was introduced to a brand-new Rihanna: authentic, independent, fearless, and completely unfiltered.

In 2010 the singer won another Grammy Award. A year later, following her sixth album «Talk That Talk», she earned the title of best-selling artist in Great Britain.

In 2012 the «Diamonds» single from her new album «Unapologetic» was broadcast on the radio. The single topped charts worldwide. A year later, «The Monster», her collaboration with Eminem. That same year, she showcased her acting chops in the sci-fi blockbuster «Battleship», starring Liam Neeson.

Rihanna took her time with her eighth album, finally releasing «Anti» in 2016. The album received mixed reviews: some praised her vocal performance and musical direction, while others dismissed it as completely underwhelming. However, millions of fans appreciated that the album was released for free.

Throughout her career, Rihanna has enjoyed several successful collaborations: not only with Eminem but also with Shakira, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney. Her collection of prestigious music awards is truly impressive. Rihanna has beaten Madonna in the number of top songs on America's «Hot 100» charts. Only Michael Jackson had similar achievements.

Following the release of «Anti», Rihanna's music output slowed considerably. In subsequent years she has appeared on screen more often, both in episodic and leading roles: season 5 of «Bates Motel» (2017); the criminal comedy «Ocean's 8» (2018), where she played one of the leading roles; and the fantasy movie «Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets» (2017).

Meanwhile, Rihanna expanded into fashion design, launching her own lingerie brand: Savage x Fenty. She frequently models for the brand's campaigns herself.

Rihanna's Personal Life

Rihanna has tried to keep her personal life private, but avoiding the paparazzi proved nearly impossible. She's been romantically linked to numerous celebrities, particularly rappers like Puff Daddy, Usher, and Drake. She was also rumored to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio, though those reports were ultimately unfounded.

Her high-profile relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown in 2008 ended in shocking tragedy. The night before the Grammy Awards, their argument escalated into a violent assault against Rihanna. Chris Brown was sentenced to 5 years probation and 6 months of community service. His attempts to reconcile years later were unsuccessful.

In 2017, reports surfaced about Rihanna's relationship with Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel (Naomi Campbell's ex), though they split in 2020.

That same year, media reports linked Rihanna romantically to rapper A$AP Rocky. The pair have been spotted together frequently, though Rihanna neither confirms nor denies the relationship.

Rihanna now

Rihanna's 2021 started with legal drama involving her own father. She sued him for exploiting her brand name. Ronald had established Fenty Entertainment and attempted to book her for 15 international concerts while using the Fenty trademark in hotel advertisements—all without her consent.

Since 2019, Rihanna has been crafting her new album. She rented an entire private island where only she and her team could work undisturbed. At $25,000 per day, the cost was manageable for someone with an estimated net worth of $600 million (per Forbes 2019).
