In this discussion, Rihanna openly discussed her wealth and her intentions for the $1.7 billion fortune she has amassed. She also mentioned feeling somewhat odd receiving congratulations solely for her monetary success upon being named a female billionaire.

Rihanna emphasized the significance of her newfound status, particularly because she recognizes that her accomplishments serve as inspiration for others, especially those who come from modest beginnings in their careers.

“It’s fulfilling to be a source of inspiration for young women and men, individuals like myself, those who started from humble origins, including children of immigrants,” Rihanna remarked.

Regarding her expenditure plans, Rihanna revealed to the New York Times that rather than dispersing her wealth widely, she intends to continue her charitable efforts through her Clara Lionel Foundation, named after her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.

“I aim to give back every dollar I earn,” Rihanna asserted. “It’s painful not being able to do as much as I’d like for those in need, so I’m proud to see the CLF fund expanding accordingly.”
