Rihanna BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Rihanna has commanded headlines over the past few days thanks to both her business empire and her evolving personal life. Just last Friday, the star was seen stepping out with A$AP Rocky for the first time since giving birth to their daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, on September 13. The couple celebrated Rocky’s 37th birthday in West Hollywood, drawing considerable press attention for Rihanna’s effortless style and their close public display. She was dressed head-to-toe in black, her hair down in waves, and designers scrambled to dissect each accessory for clues of her next fashion move, especially her statement rings and those now-iconic shades, according to AOL.
Rihanna continues to define “Girl Mom” energy since welcoming Rocki, showing off pastel pink accessories and Prada ballet sneakers—currently one of the season’s “Hottest Items” on Lyst, as reported by Marie Claire. Paparazzi and style writers noted her embrace of pink touches, including a $99,900 Audemars Piguet watch and silk scarves, and suggested her footwear choices in recent months may have even foreshadowed the birth of her daughter.
On the business front, major speculation is swirling about Rihanna’s mammoth Fenty Beauty venture. Multiple outlets including Reuters, Billionaires Africa, and Complex have reported that LVMH, the luxury conglomerate that co-owns Fenty Beauty with Rihanna, is exploring the sale of its 50 percent stake. The brand, valued upwards of $2 billion, generated approximately $450 million in net sales in 2024. LVMH has reportedly hired Evercore investment bank to evaluate market options, signaling a potential shift in the luxury beauty landscape. Fenty Beauty’s pioneering approach to inclusivity—especially its broad shade ranges—changed industry standards globally. No official word from Rihanna or LVMH yet, but beauty insiders expect this could become one of the year’s signature business stories.
Financial news hasn’t all been rosy. According to RadarOnline and Rolling Out, Rihanna absorbed a staggering $36 million loss from her Fenty fashion collaboration with Louis Vuitton, which shuttered in 2021 after pandemic disruptions. The failed venture hasn’t diminished her star power or billionaire status, though some sources now peg her net worth closer to $1 billion, down from $1.7 billion reported in 2022 by Forbes, largely as a reflection of changing market conditions.
Meanwhile, fans and advisors are speculating about her private life, notably Rihanna’s decision not to pursue a prenuptial agreement with A$AP Rocky. This move, rooted in trust and optimism for their future, has sparked some debate among her inner circle about financial protection given her substantial assets.
Industry gossip also swirled around her recent, intimate interview on the Couch by Lena Situations podcast, where Rihanna opened up about her “struggle” to embrace her natural hair, which ultimately inspired her Fenty Hair line. She candidly discussed her creative self-doubt and addressed the nuanced realities of beauty, identity, and postpartum setbacks. Her willingness to share personal vulnerabilities is winning praise, reinforcing her position as an influencer not just in music or fashion, but in the cultural conversation around self-acceptance.
In summary, Rihanna's week has been a whirlwind of family milestones, power moves in the beauty sector, bold fashion statements, and headlines that could set the tone for her career’s next chapter. The world is watching, and from Met Gala rumors to billion-dollar boardroom swings, she remains not only a celebrity to watch, but an icon redefining what influence looks like in today’s culture.
