Pop singer Rihanna is an official member of the Forbes billionaires club.
The 34-year-old beauty and fashion mogul is said to be Barbados' first billionaire worth 1.7 billion, thanks to her stake in the Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and the Savage X Fenty lingerie business.
She joins musicians Jay-Z and Kanye West who have become mainstays on the annual list.
Jay Z is hip-hop's first billionaire with a $1.4 billion portfolio that includes his Roc Nation empire, his sale of streaming service TIDAL and his Armand de Brignac champagne to LVMH.
Rapper Ye has an estimated net worth of $2 billion, thanks to his lucrative Yeezy partnership with Adidas and long-term arrangement with Gap.
Tesla boss Elon Musk tops the World's Billionaires list for the first time ever, with his net worth an estimated $219 billion.
He surpassed Jeff Bezos, who fell to number two for the first time in four years due to a three per cent drop in Amazon stock and increased charitable giving.
There are 2,668 billionaires in the world, with a combined net worth $12.7 trillion.
