The 33-year-old businesswoman is now worth an estimated $1.7 billion and is second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer, thanks to her Fenty Beauty empire.

The rest of her fortune comes from her lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million, and earnings from her music and acting career.
