Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian are among the richest people in the world according to this year’s Forbes‘ list of the world’s richest billionaires.
The list, which was released on April 4, had Rihanna, creator of Fenty Beauty, 35, at the number 2,002 spot at $1.4 billion.
Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Jay-Z, 53, placed at 1,217 and is valued at $2.5 billion, the list reports. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian, 42, took the number 2,259 spot. Her fortune is priced at $1.2 billion.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” personality’s ex-husband Kanye West fell off the tally after his brand partnership with Adidas ended earlier this year due to erratic and controversial behavior.
Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Michael Jordan were among the other top earners on the list.
Elon Musk lost the spot of world’s richest person alive, as LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault beat him to take the top of the list.
The Tesla founder 51, earned $180 billion, while the fashion retailer, 74, brought in $211 billion, according to the list.
LVMH is the parent company of such high-end designer labels as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Tiffany’s, Sephora and even Fenty Beauty.
The company added roughly $53 billion to its net worth this past year – making for the highest increase of any billionaire.
Jeff Bezos, head of Amazon, came in third on the list at $114 billion.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s sister Kylie Jenner was also removed from the list. She had last been on it back in 2019, when she was given the title of youngest self-made billionaire in the world.
West, 45, still ended up being the highest-paid hip-hop artist, along with Jay-A, in 2021, thanks to his Yeezy fashion line.
However, his antisemitic remarks made last year caused Adidas to end their working relationship with Kanye.
In Oct. 2022, West’s billionaire net worth then continued to drop due to the sports brand cutting their ties, decreasing his net worth down to about $400 million.
