Founder

ABOUT Rihanna

Robyn Rihanna Fenty — known globally as Rihanna — founded Fenty Beauty in 2017 in partnership with LVMH, becoming the first celebrity to co-create a brand with the luxury conglomerate as a founding partner rather than a licensee. The brand's launch with 40 foundation shades caused an immediate industry reckoning, as competitors rushed to expand their own ranges after being publicly called out. Rihanna has since expanded into Fenty Skin, Savage X Fenty lingerie, and Fenty fragrance — and became the world's wealthiest female musician with an estimated net worth of $1.4B, driven primarily by Fenty Beauty.

About Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty launched in September 2017 with 40 foundation shades — a number that shattered industry norms and set a new standard for inclusivity in beauty. Founded by Rihanna in partnership with LVMH as the first new Maison in 32 years, Fenty Beauty proved that inclusive shade ranges weren't just ethical — they were enormously profitable. The brand now offers 50 shades and has expanded into skincare (Fenty Skin) and fragrance.
