Rihanna

Barbadian singer Rihanna is known for her artistry. She was discovered by record producer Evan Rogers, and soon gained popularity with the release of her debut album, Music of the Sun. But it was her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, and the single Umbrella, that gave Rihanna a shot at global stardom. She continued to produce chart-topping songs, including Rude Boy, Diamonds, and Work, and collaborated with artists like Eminem, Drake, and Calvin Harris.

Thanks to her million records sold, Rihanna became one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with 9 Grammy Awards, 13 American Music Awards, and 12 Billboard Music Awards. Rihanna is also a successful businesswoman. She is the founder of Fenty, a brand under the luxury fashion group, LVMH, along with Fenty Beauty, Savage X Fenty, and Fenty Skin. She also launched several fragrances and is a co-owner of the music streaming service, Tidal.
