Forbes' annual list of worldwide billionaires is chock full of celebrities this year, including Kim Kardashian, Ye, and Rihanna.
The American business magazine released its annual report on billionaires around the world Tuesday, which included some returning billionaires and entrepreneurs who made the cut for the first time.
Rihanna, 34, is among the freshman class of billionaires, becoming the first billionaire of her home country of Barbados, according to Forbes. Declared the world’s richest female musician, the pop star has leveraged her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and her Savage X Fenty lingerie business to a net worth of $1.7 billion, the magazine says.
She ranked #1,729 on this year's list.
Another entertainment mogul who made the list for the first time this year is director Peter Jackson, who helmed the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" film trilogies. Jackson, 60, became a billion in November after selling his stake in his Weta digital film effects shop to Unity Software for $975 million, Forbes says. He's #1,929 on the list with a net worth of $1.5 billion.
And, of course, the list was full of returning billionaires too.
After becoming a billionaire last year, Kardashian, 41, landed at #1,645 on the Forbes' billionaires list Friday, with a net worth of $1.8 billion. Her ex-husband Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, 44, also appeared on the list after Forbes officially deemed him a billionaire in 2020. At #1,513, he's worth $2 billion.
Other returning billionaires who made fortunes in entertainment include director Steven Spielberg, who landed at #801 with a $3.7 billion net worth; rapper Jay-Z, who landed at #2,076 with a $1.3 billion net worth; talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who landed at #1,196 with a $2.6 billion net worth; and filmmaker Tyler Perry, who landed at #2,578 with a $1 billion net worth.
