Rihanna Loses $36M After Collab With Luxury Brand Fails — Report

Rihanna reportedly lost a whopping amount of money after her collaboration with a luxury fashion brand failed. A report claimed that the 37-year-old launched her clothing line in 2019 in partnership with Louis Vuitton, but the business flopped. Therefore, the pop sensation lost nearly $36 million and eventually closed down the venture. It has been reported that the loss has impacted her net worth.

Rihanna allegedly lost a huge amount of money due to a business failure. According to Daily Mail, she collaborated with the luxury fashion brand, Louis Vuitton, in 2019. She launched a fashion line, Fenty, followed by cosmetics and lingerie ventures, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, respectively.

Just a year after the launch, COVID-19 hit the world. Due to lockdown and travel restrictions, the business couldn’t survive. The entrepreneur couldn’t check her collections in Paris or keep an eye on the making of the clothes at the Italian fashion houses.

Moreover, the outlet mentioned that Rihanna, who has an estimated net worth of $1billion, invested around $34.86 million through Denim UK Holdings in the partnership.

While she was a 49.99 percent partner shareholder, Louis Vuitton’s parent company, LVMH, invested $34.88 million. At the time, all big magazines, including Vogue, covered the “Unapologetic” hitmaker’s clothing line. Despite the hype, the business closed down in 2021. Reportedly, the products were expensive.

While the fashion line flopped, Rihanna put her focus on Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. A joint statement read, “LVMH and Rihanna reaffirm their ambition to concentrate on the growth and the long-term development of the Fenty ecosystem, focusing on cosmetics, skincare, and lingerie.”

well, LVMH as stated is the biggest high fashion brand group, it likely gonna makes some people in this business think twice if LVMH actually want to sell their stakes.

Why ppl pretend like her Fenty Beauty and other Ventures aren’t keeping her afloat FOR LIFE…. The losses reported are nothing compared to what she has been making in the last 10 years..

It's an industry-wide downturn that also impacted other companies like Kering. Fenty's not the only one affected. https://www.modaes.com/global/companies/lvmh-follows-in-kerings-footsteps-and-divests-in-cosmetics-explores-the-sale-of-fenty-beauty

Even if she comes back to music, she will not succeed. Lift me up and Friend of Mine showed no one is here for her anymore.

She gets high recurrent streams because her songs are spammed on a lot of playlists, not because there is genuine interest in her. 2 whole generations grew up since she left the music scene and they don't give a damn about her.

I don't think Lift Me Up or Friend of Mine proves **** tbh. They're generic movie tracks which these days rarely register. 

The hype around her after her superbowl is proof if she came back with a full Rihanna album that people would 100% be interested in hearing the comeback.

She could literally sell any ownership right now and let her family live comfortably off of that single sale alone for at least a few generations

[LadyxGaGa 2,534]

yeah this move with them wanting to hopefully get bought out but they are the largest fashion and beauty conglomerate who is going to step in

 

if i was riri i would sell my stake and leave 

[Bonkers 29,875]

1 billion minus 36 million is still about a billion.
