Rihanna is a Barbadian singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, and billionaire businesswoman, renowned globally as one of the best-selling music artists and a cultural icon. Discovered in Barbados at age 15, Rihanna signed with Def Jam Recordings in 2005. She rapidly rose to fame with hits like "Pon de Replay," "SOS," "Umbrella," "Diamonds," and "Work." She has released 8 studio albums, achieving numerous chart-topping singles and awards, including 9 Grammys. Beyond music, she founded the massively successful Fenty Beauty cosmetics line, Savage X Fenty lingerie, and the Fenty fashion house under LVMH, becoming one of the world's youngest self-made female billionaires.

• Rihanna was discovered in 2003 by American record producer Evan Rogers while he was vacationing in Barbados. She recorded a demo that caught the attention of Jay-Z, leading to her signing with Def Jam.
• Her 2009 assault by then-boyfriend Chris Brown caused a major scandal. She later reconciled briefly with Brown, drawing criticism, but ultimately became a prominent advocate against domestic violence.
• She put her music career largely on hold after her 2016 album 'Anti' to focus on her business ventures, particularly Fenty Beauty (2017), which revolutionized the cosmetics industry with its focus on inclusivity across skin tones.
• In 2019, Rihanna became the first black woman to helm a luxury fashion house (Fenty) under LVMH.
• Despite immense pressure from fans ("#R9"), she took a prolonged hiatus from releasing new music, focusing on entrepreneurship and starting a family with partner A$AP Rocky, with whom she has two sons.
• Her electrifying performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show marked a major return to the stage after years without touring or releasing an album.
