Forbes’ recently released 2024 edition of their celebrity billionaires list unveils the staggering wealth of icons like JAY-Z and Rihanna, positioning them among the globe’s wealthiest personalities.
In the latest report, published by Forbes on April 2nd, both JAY-Z and Rihanna secure spots within the top 10 wealthiest celebrities worldwide.
Rihanna claims the ninth position with a remarkable net worth estimated at $1.4 billion. A significant portion of her wealth stems from her groundbreaking ventures, particularly her billion-dollar brands Fenty Beauty and Savage X.
Meanwhile, JAY-Z, known as Hip Hop’s inaugural billionaire, secures the fifth spot with an astounding $2.5 billion fortune. His wealth is a culmination of diverse business endeavors, entertainment ventures, strategic investments, and a legendary music catalog.
It’s worth noting that JAY-Z’s fortune does not encompass his wife Beyoncé’s individual net worth, which is estimated to hover around $500 million.
The Forbes list also showcases other notable figures, including Magic Johnson with $1.2 billion, LeBron James also with $1.2 billion, Kim Kardashian with $1.7 billion, and Oprah Winfrey with $2.8 billion.
Topping the chart as the three wealthiest celebrities are Michael Jordan with $3.2 billion, Steven Spielberg with $4.8 billion, and George Lucas with an astonishing $5.5 billion.
Interestingly, the list misses out on Diddy, who ascended into the billionaire ranks in October 2022, positioning him as the second wealthiest figure in Hip Hop, just behind JAY-Z.
