Rihanna’s many hit songs like "Umbrella" and "SOS," combined with her two successful businesses, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty have made her a multibillionaire.

In 2005, Rihanna signed with Def Jam Records and released her first album, "Music of the Sun" featuring her debut single, "Pon de Replay."
