Not Rihanna’s first induction into YouTube’s elite club. “Stay” is her eighth music video to cross one billion streams on the platform, thus extending her record for solo female artists..
Already a member of billionaire dollar club — with the stuff that folds —RiRi’s Fenty cosmetics empire pushed her into billionaire territory and according to Forbes, she’s worth $1.7 billion, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world and second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer.
