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."

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
