Behind the numbers (Forbes):

"Rihanna, one of the most publicly charitable celebrities, has donated upwards of $8 million to coronavirus relief efforts. She gave $1 million to New York's needy, $2.1 million to abuse victims in LA and $5 million to other charities through her Clara Lionel Foundation. Despite her musical success, she's made the bulk of her fortune from Fenty Beauty, the makeup brand she co-owns with luxury goods group LVMH."
