Totally agree with your posts micky. I also wouldn’t be surprised if people have a problem with her being a black billionaire

Some will. From all across the board too. I congratulate her hitting that milestone on such miniscule skill and talent. On the backs of other people too. Chemists at the cosmetic company, actual songwriters etc. She has to be very proud.

I guess that's the/my major point.

Tyler Perry is also a billionaire, from the popularity of Madea and his TV shows. He owns his own movie studio in Atlanta. It's built on an old Confederate army base and is larger (more area) than any of the major studio lots in Hollywood. Marvel Studios has filmed there.

I hope to see one of his plays someday

Some of them are on DVD. I've seen them at Best Buy or Walmart. It was awhile back though, not recently.

Rihanna Celebrated Her New Fenty Fragrance Selling Out
By Bianca Betancourt • Aug 10 2021 • Harpers Bazaar

Rihanna knows how to celebrate. The Fenty Beauty CEO (and pop star, when she feels like being so) took to Instagram today to express her excitement over her latest beauty launch, Fenty Eau de Parfum, selling out earlier this morning. For the celebratory occasion, Rihanna posted a photo of herself clad in a black hoodie, fresh box braids, and rectangular sunglasses while lounging in what appears to be a hotel bed as she serves herself caviar from a glimmering silver breakfast tray. Casual.

"How I woke up after #FENTYPARFUM sold out this morning!!!" the caption read.

The "Umbrella" singer teased the launch of Fenty's first perfume with a hilarious social media campaign featuring celebrities confirming that the long-standing rumor of the pop star being one of the best-smelling celebrities around is indeed true. Before the launch of her Fenty perfume, Rihanna was reported to wear Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy as her fragrance of choice, which led the perfume to sell out time and time again.

"Just sayin'," Rihanna captioned the video clip, encouraging her followers to purchase a bottle of what's sure to be her new signature scent.

Rihanna also shared an official campaign clip of herself frolicking in a lush green field, posing the question, "You want me to tell you what a woman is supposed to smell like? However the f*** they want to feel."

Rihanna's latest beauty offering is sure to add to her new buzzworthy net worth. According to Forbes, the entrepreneur is officially a billionaire thanks to her lucrative cosmetics business, Fenty Beauty.

I can't believe it took centuries to produce makeup for every skin tone. Whoever finally did that deserves to be a billionaire.

However, the byline should read "in other words, she is never recording or performing again."

Then something good comes out of this after all.

You need more POCs in your life if you don't know someone who uses Fenty Beauty.
