Teletubby 116,859 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 #68 Rihanna Rihanna, Barbados' most famous export, is now a billionaire, thanks to the success of cosmetics line Fenty Beauty. The cosmetics company, which she co-owns with French luxury retailer LVMH, generated more than $550 million in revenue in 2020. Her stake in the fast-growing cosmetics company comprises the majority of her fortune. She also has a 30% stake in the Savage x Fenty lingerie line, which raised money at a $1 billion valuation in February 2021. Her high-fashion line with LVMH - also called Fenty --didn't do well and halted operations in February 2021. #76 Beyoncé Knowles Beyonce's On The Run II stadium tour with husband Jay-Z grossed roughly $5 million per night, pulling in a total of more than $250 million. In April 2019, the pop star released 'Homecoming,' a live album and Netflix special about her groundbreaking 2018 performance at Coachella. Also in April, Beyonce announced a new partnership with Adidas to relaunch her activewear line Ivy Park. Beyonce first rose to fame as the lead singer in girl-group Destiny's Child. She voices the part of Nala in the 'Lion King' remake. Her husband Jay-Z is now a billionaire thanks to a variety of investments in music, art and liquor. #78 Taylor Swift In 2021, Taylor Swift began releasing re-records of her older music in order to regain their ownership rights. Red (Taylor's Version) became her 10th album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In July 2020, Swift surprise-released "Folklore," written and produced entirely in quarantine. It was the year's first album to sell 1 million units. In December, she surprise-released "Evermore." Following the Covid-19 outbreak, Swift canceled all her 2020 tour dates, with plans to reschedule some for 2021. Swift has leveraged her fame to encourage political action, asking fans to support the Equality Act with her 2019 single "You Need To Calm Down." https://www.forbes.com/power-women/ I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEANUS 11,175 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I understand Rihanna and Taylor but Beyoncé’s attributes for being on this 2021 list are all from 2019 and earlier Not to mention they list the fact that Jay-Z is a billionaire as part of her qualifications. I would argue Billie, Dua, Doja, and even Gaga as all much more qualified then her on a 2021 list British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoldeLorde2 8,389 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'd say Taylor was more powerful this year. I mean, two #1 albums, #1 single, AOTY win, constant presence within pop culture. What did Rihanna and Beyoncé do? Spoiler Genuinely asking, don't hate me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s bigger than Haus Labs but the same could be said for Gaga, with another acclaimed lead movie role on her shoulders, a 6x Grammy award nominated album, endless philanthropy, multiple brand partnerships, and two other music releases this year. I still think Beyoncé always makes these lists simply cause she’s Beyoncé and the norm is to automatically acclaim her. Taylor is working her up to a similar status IMO British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta 5,019 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I never take these lists seriously. What Gaga did this year alone outdoes what any of them did (this year). The only thing Taylor has is #1s. I can see why Rihanna is on there though, but certainly not Beyonce (again, this year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender blonde 508 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Gaga deserved to be there. Not only because she's super successful in her career (L4S nominated 6x for Grammy's, Oscar worth role in HoG), but mostly because of One World: Together at Home concert which raised 35M $ for Covid relief. She also performed at Biden's inauguration and was (as always) pretty vocal about social/political issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
