Rihanna, popularly known as the ‘Bad Girl’ from Barbados, has had amazing success over the past 5 years.
Her 2016 album “Anti” remained on the Billboard charts for 63 weeks, gradually building her business empire into a makeup business called Fenty Beauty and a clothing and fashion network called Savage x Fenty.
Traditionally, the world’s makeup culture has been based on Euro-centric values.
As a Barbadian girl, Rihanna specializes in combining patterns that can be chosen for all races, all types of bodies. This was seen as a revolutionary approach.
Meanwhile, she has also raised $115 million through the Savage x Fenty fashion network.

She has released 8 studio albums so far, with her contemporaries such as Rihanna Drek, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Nikki Minaj, as well as veterans such as Paul McCartney of the Beatles.
As a humanitarian
Rihanna has also spent her fortune on humanitarian work over the past few years. In 2017, she was awarded the ‘Humanitarian of the Year’ award from Harvard University. It’s about launching a breast cancer prevention program and a scholarship program in her hometown of Barbados.
In 2006, Rihanna founded her charity, the Believe Foundation, for humanitarian work. Its primary function is to provide the most desirable things in life for young children who are on the verge of death from a terminal illness.
“When I was a child, when I watched television, I always saw little children around the world suffering. When I could, I decided to work for them, “she said.
Her humanitarian work spans a wide range of topics, including child abuse, adoption, orphans, AIDS & HIV, Alzheimer’s patients, underprivileged youth, bone marrow, and organ transplants.
Poverty, slavery, human trafficking, unemployment, and domestic violence are also among her topics. Rihanna, along with other artists such as Jay-Z, has also made large donations to the Kovid-19 Relief Fund in the latest global context.
