Ironically, as Forbes notes, the 31-year-old star isn’t making most of her millions on tour — she hasn’t toured since 2016, in fact. Instead, it’s her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty, and her lingerie line, Savage, that are making her rich, as well as her music and occasional acting gigs in movies like Ocean’s 8.
Other musicians on the list include Madonna at #39, with a net worth of $570 million, Celine Dion at #46 with $450 million, Beyonce and Barbra Streisand, tied at #51 with $400 million each, and Taylor Swift at #60 with $360 million.
