Rihanna On Forbes: “It’s Like You’re Awarding People For Being Rich, It’s Weird”

Rih gets real.
At the start of the month, we reported that icon and business mogul, Rihanna, had a net worth of a whopping $600 million, allowing her to beat out the likes of Beyonce and other superstar status female musicians, to be crowned The World’s Richest Female Musician by Forbes.

It’s weird,” she admits, “I never got used to it.” But she goes on to say “it’s nice, it’s nice,” before they move on to talk about her billionaire Saudi businessman boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, with the interviewer asking Rih if he’s helped her in any of this. “Oh Hassan is actually an incredible designer,” she jokingly responds as she laughs and smoothly changes subject.

Amongst other things discussed, Rih also talks creative conflicts with her business partner and “Gubby,” how her weight fluctuations inspired her desire to create clothes that make real women feel confident, as well as her suddenly having boobs she “never had before.” “I don’t even know how to sleep sometimes, it’s challenging!
