Some issues it is more effective to avoid being prolix. The blogmaster will make the point by stating the following.
Voice of Barbados (VOB) popular mid-afternoon talk show program should be renamed The Peter Wickham Show on Mondays which is his scheduled day.
It should surprise NO ONE that Rihanna has been named a ‘National Hero’.
After all this country has become a global model of selling its assets to the highest bidder, and where this is not possible, of borrowing from EVERY POSSIBLE source – thus burdening future generations with the CHAINS of our greed.
It started with the ‘tourism industry’, which has been modeled on the typical brothel – where the rich, lonely and depraved predators of our world are invited to come and have the time of their lives with our ‘workers’ – provided that they can pay the set rates.
It did not take long before the international pimps took over the scam, collecting the fees from the ‘Johns’ in their home countries and and just BARELY providing for the upkeep of the brothel (In EXACTLY the same way that the Plantocracy operated in the days of sugar and slavery)
it has become so bad that during the Covid shutdown, Barbados’ Foreign Exchange reserves INCREASED – when the international pimps were unable to EXTRACT the normal fees and charges to their home accounts.
We actually tax PRODUCTIVE people such as the ZR owners and workers, and give handsome PAYOUTS to these brothels.
While Rihanna may be an exception to this rule, and may have accumulated her wealth by hard work and business brilliance, In this world, the ability to accumulate huge financial resources is now mostly associated with the ability to CONFORM to the greedy, demented, warped and distorted norms that currently prevail. Putin and Fauchi comes to mind.
If wealth ALONE is the criteria for honor then may God help us all….

KiKi, are you aware that your boy “A$AP Rocky” is a Bajan by descent?
At least some ‘Overseas-Bajans’ are doing what the on-islanders are not doing enough of.
Don’t be surprised if the next trending name for boy babies born in Bim will be ‘ASAP’.
Are you, ‘555 dub street’, willing to open your own sperm bank in Bim to improve the quality of herbalists and to ensure there are enough musicians to restock both heaven and hell?
“Are you, ‘555 dub street’, willing to open your own sperm bank in Bim to improve the quality of herbalists and to ensure there are enough musicians to restock both heaven and hell?”

Sometimes you need to go down to depths of hell and raise hell in order to uplift everyone to send them heaven bound

It is not normally an “economic policy” that drives the decision to remain in prostitution…
It is MUCH more likely to be an admission of incompetence, and the inability to succeed at anything innovative and productive.
Of course the predators out there (not saying that you are one) can be depended on to ’support’ the availability of such ‘easy meat’…

If you hear a knock on your door at 6 tomorrow morning, you will know who it is that has come calling.
Take it easy fellas. Clearly the outfit is not meant to be worn to church on Sundays.
It is not meant to be worn to work, unless like Rihanna you are a fabulous international model.
It is not meant to be worn to a job interview, unless you are interviewing for a job as a lingerie model.
It is not meant to be worn by your son’s girlfriend when he brings her over to meet you for the first time on a Sunday afternoon.
But as we Bajans say “time and place”
It is a fine outfit for a honeymoon, or even a second honeymoon 50 years later.
It is a fine outfit to generate sales of sexy lingerie. However even more sales would have been generated if it had first been modelled a week before Valentine’s Day.
We all aspire to our youthful beauty and sexiness don’t we?

Old, stooped, grey haired, no longer sexy ZR woman.

Rihanna nor anyone else should be made a National Hero until they reach age 60 or posthumously. National Hero status should only be awarded after a lifetime of achievement.
A totally new class of ambassador roles Daughter of the Soil should have been created for young high flyer achievers like her and award them with a diplomatic passport.
@Cuhdear Bajan
Finally someone who understands how shrewd business people like Rihanna have successfully marketed her brand at the right time in the right way to cash in for the big bucks. She didn’t get to be the second richest entertainer behind Oprah by following others.
My current two problems with Rihanna is that she should have known better than to attend the University of Waterford and I have to hope the wife does not see the lingerie or she will force me to whip out the credit card before I can get the chance to surprise her.
@ Critical A
Agree with your proposed class of award. Logical and practical.
But of course you err in your two ‘problems with Rihanna’.
1 – You may well find that it is BECAUSE of her exposure to the ‘university’ that she stands out from the crowd… and that otherwise she may just be another (un-named) BU blogger complaining over and over about how “Bushie don’t like women” (like if they think Bushie name ‘Petra’ or something so..!!)
2 – Your second error …is this ‘lingerie business’ for the wife…
Boss, leave out that business hear? Just convince the lady of the great benefits of sleeping naked… You could save a bundle of money ….and time too… LOL
Besides …next thing you know she looking to model the fancy lingerie to some sexy bushman (Not THIS Bushie, but there are some wufless ones out there..) and then you got problems….
Why are we making this about Rihanna? She is the leading pop star in the entertainment business and you can add business woman to the list of achievements. What Rihanna is doing and wearing today is a continuation of decisions made from the moment she was plucked from a 2×3 island at 16 and deposited into the cutthroat and high stakes world of business. It is not her fault our political leadership agrees she qualifies to be a national hero. This is a subjective issue.
The blogmaster is receptive to both sides of the debate raging about Rihanna. What cannot be refuted is that her meteoric rise in her chosen vocation cannot be matched by any Barbadian who has preceded her.

Slut and trash is the new norm
When adults cant see slut and trash as an immoral wrongs weave tightly into success
Then adults cannot blame the youth for the downward slide in society immoral attitudes and behaviors
Slowly but surely the morals that bind societies together are being chipped away and adults are to blame
Years ago a picture of that showing would have a black.marking across certain areas
But society has become immune to immoral actions standard s and behaviour and the word cute as a replacement for any and everything
Dear ac:
Please see page 23 of today’s Nation. A beautiful gentleman by the name of Mr. Brandon Curry, seeking to win the Arnold Classic this weekend.
And I hope that he does.
“Marshall said the issue of a secure ID card was a serious one as the current card was basically two pieces of plastic stuck to either side of a card with a picture and that “simply in itself suggests a security breach”. He said that since 1979 there had been no fundamental change to the ID card. Over the years I would have looked at a number of national IDs and over the years I would have also seen that there were a number of areas of security that should be tightened up. Anybody with a laminate machine can replicate that card. It is also highly susceptible to photo substitution,” said Marshall, a former immigration officer.”
it only took them from 1979-2022 to realize this when North American countries have rejected use of this card in their jurisdictions for just as long…..yall should be thankful that it did not take another 43 years for someone to say, hey, this card is easily duplicated, no wonder the other countries thumb their noses at them….sigh…

The Rhianna final.story chapter and verse is being written while all eyes are being focused at her trashy pregnancy wear

What all are seeing is not happenstance but the same recipe being played out that captivated the minds of those who loved the entertainment quality of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston

Questions as to why Rhianna s
pregnancy clothing wear is being spotlighted in the most disgusting manner should be asked
Along with what are the real reasons and what underwrites such mischief

True! But it can also weaken or dilute the gene pool.
That’s why the word ‘uncertain’ was used.
That’s why having more mixed-and multi- race children is the way to go to reduce the level of racism and to be in harmony with the designer goals of Mother Nature.
So why not import sperm from people like you; hence my invitation to you to set up your own designer-baby sperm bank.
There are loads of university-educated women in Barbados who do not see themselves as mothers; only career wo(e)men.
Why can’t you lend them a helping hand by supplying them with high quality genetic material after a clean jerk?
Miracle of the Human Body and Childbirth.
What came first the sperm or the egg.
Men should not be regulated to mere sperm donors jacking their loads after a quick in-out they should be respected as fathers.
Mitochondrial DNA can be inherited from fathers, not just mothers. While women do inherit 50% of their DNA from each parent, men inherit about 51% from their mother and only 49% from their father.

Nice one there, KK!
Now answer the following:
Which came first? Male or Female? Adam or Eve (or even Steve)?
Why not ask which came first; the hen or the cock?
That should provide you with the perfect answer to your “sperm and egg” paradox?
Mother Nature would have been a ‘jack’ of a queen not to have contracted-out some of her parthenogenesis (fertilization) process to an ass of a male.

I kick the ball back to you again to answer my question and your questions
In the Big bang theory of universe (God) is deemed to be male energy and the creator of mother earth and it’s source of life from the exploded stars. Everyone has a feminine left side and a masculine right side. Perhaps you should ask yourself which came first the yang sun or the yin moon.
String theory is a framework that physicists use to describe how forces usually conceptualized on a gigantic level, like gravity, could affect tiny objects like electrons and protons. In Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity is a force that warps space-time around massive objects.

Did Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston die because they wore sexy clothes?
Or did they die because they became addicted to drugs?
Rihanna, a product of the university of waterford is a sensible person. She knows to stay away from drugs. Clean sex is to be enjoyed and has NEVER killed anybody yet. And sexy clothes don’t kill either.
If you or I or any of the BU bloggers start using illegal drugs, or start misusing legal drugs we too may become addicted even if we wear garments down to our wrists and ankles and up to our necks and a big hat too.
It is NOT the clothes that killed Michael or Whitney. We ALL know this.
SAY “NO” to drugs.

There are a number of excellent black and brown psychiatrists and psychologists female and male in our community and we do use their services as required. We black people are fully human, we feel hurt, we feel pain, and we do need psychiatric and psychological support from time to time.

Those trying hard to defend the Rhi Rhi pic can’t compose a moral defense
Words as business and success are only those two words that they can apply
However the word morals that binds a society on the right path of purposefulness cannot be found in the list of Rhi Rhi defense
So sad
Even read comments blaming man invention of clothes is partly to blame
One comment states that we were born with out clothing so wearing clothes should not be part of mankind way of life

Can’t forget when the PM trashed local artist song clothed in gangster material draped in the naked truth
Apologies and all was required
Fortunately, we don’t need censorship like in Russia and China. We have Brassbowl Radio, Nationnews and Barbados Underground where concerned residents like Tron voluntarily cheer our Supreme Leader.

I would bet anything that the PM never comments on other people’s clothing, not even the clothing of those nearest and dearest to her, her parents, siblings etc.
In any event if an adult needs comments on their clothing, perhaps the parents should do it? Ri-Ri’s parents ares still alive and they have not commented so why should the PM?
I hope that you are not one of those parents who juck yah mout’ in the business of your adult daughters and sons.

Give it rest NUH!!
Do you REALLY think that Rihanna asked to be made a national hero? Stop picking on the girl do!!
Who you should probably be cussing is YOUR DLP jokers who have been so piss poor, that wunna even got Mia embarrassed that she can’t lose a SINGLE seat….even when she TRIED.
Imagine, to get rid of a Johnny, a George and a soldier boy – she had to do it herself..?
Steupsss..
If your DLP shiitehounds had ANY value, common sense, or competence, Mia would have been too busy trying to fight off BOTH the BLP AND DLP challengers, to find time to sit around looking for mere children to idolize and to put in the senate with their schoolboy speeches.
IT IS ALL DLP FAULT.
..come to think of it….since you have been the CHIEF DLP spokesperson on BU (which is The REAL voice of Barbados – cause the other shiite place (vob) is actually the “Voice of T&T”), YOU are probably the true CAUSE of this ‘Heroship’ anyhow.
What you should be doing instead is looking for TALENT…. and FLUSHING the lotta s…hounds wunna got in George Street… so
Start with the ‘shiite-hound’ (formerly called the ‘Pitt bull’…)
…and don’t stop till Bushie tell you…
But don’t bring back Walter Blackman either….. since he tek those covid jabs in the USA he sound like he getting dotish as shiite…
trying to tell Kammie that eating lots of sugar is no problem – cause he used to suck nuff sugarcane….
But WAIT!!!
Are you sure that you are not a BLP undercover agent – sent here to make the DLP unelectable…?

Who focus only on what suits them
Some in the struggle carry their own water. They may line up with one side more often than the other, but there is no deep seated feelings for either.
She is your hero. Hopefully the hat is fitting snugly.

So I was right.
It was an attack…
I think you figured out there is pushback whenever you hitch me with the little train that can 😃. Picking a fight, eh.
Minor correction
“She is one of your heroes”
The blogmaster not have time for silly games sone if you play. There is one value individuals of integrity must not compromise, INTEGRITY. You compromise on integrity and a good analogy is like the fool who built his house on a sandy foundation.
I saw AC commenting on a topic where she should have been silent or just respectfully. I started to write a note that was cautionary to her, but divided against it. She is grown, she is a woman, her is own person.
There is light, even a gap between AC and I, but I am not going to jump on her when the gap widens

I gather from your response that because Rhi Rhi has been awarded a heroes Title she is untouchable
Let me.tell.u this clearly
Rhi Rhi is her own woman
My concern for her lays at the bottom of those who surround her
Sharks snakes and vipers looking for pay back in any shape or form
Her first pic I belive she made on her own
The rest are images which reflects a person exploitated for gain sake
I also had reason after seeing the last trashy pic of mother and baby to take a look at Beyonce maternity photos and not one image showed an exploitation marker against them
If we loved Rhi Rhi as much as we say messages should be sent that would signal that she does not have to bow to the whims and fancy of the white establishment
I bet that if a person of Jewish race had such an image posted the backlash would be swift and fast
The black race must not forget their history and must send swift and harsh messages to the white establishments that we people of color demand respect
Having said the above Mia said we are better than that

You guessed wrong.
I would encourage my daughter to do whatever she thinks is right because I believe in freedom of choice in all things. You can’t tell someone they have freedom to make their own choices but not in this circumstance or that circumstance because you don’t agree.
We need to be able to respectfully say we don’t agree with someone’s choices and opinions without trying to impose our beliefs and morals on others.

You keep falling for sophisticated marketing techniques and political gimmicks aimed at increasing the audience who see, talk about and spread the product for as little advertising money as possible.
I am willing to bet Rihanna’s lingerie line sold out and went on back order soon after that picture started to spread. Mia is also very good at marketing as well being able to quickly capitalize on most if not all situations.
You spoke of Beyonce, Beyonce is not richer than Rihanna even though she is a better singer, just as pretty if not more and has been around longer. The big difference is understanding your target audience wants before they themselves do and converting that understanding into sales via effective marketing techniques for as little marketing dollars as possible.
@TheOGazerts March 5, 2022 10:37 AM
Trying to get @AC to realise she is playing right into the hands of sophisticated marketing campaigns and boosting sales without getting a commission.
The marketers know she is unlikely to be a sale but by being just risque enough, they can get people like her talking and spreading the word to others who will seek the product.

Those maternity clothing not a Rhi Rhi brand
The last trashy one was a Christine Dior brand which she was modeling
Reason why I felt outraged
Like u most belive that Rhi Rhi is marketing the trashy brand for herself which is further from the truth

Rihanna is 34+
That is not young, since middle aged begins at age 35.
I’ll be honest with you, by the time my sons and daughters reach almost middle age, I’ve long ceased telling them how to dress.
They are intelligent adults, know how to work, to build families, to buy property. They don’t need anymore mommy-ing.
I now describe myself as as ex-mom.
P.S. Do you think that when Theo or Bushie’s wives were 34 any mother-in-law could come to the home and the 34 year old wives how to dress? Imagine that if you will
Nah? I int see that happening.
Cuh dear
Answer the question
U did not
The question being asked is one of whether u would approve of your daughter wearing trashy maternity clothing walking the streets
“The question being asked is one of whether u would approve of your daughter wearing trashy maternity clothing walking the streets”

Truth be told @ac, even if Bushie ‘approved’, ….the Bushman would privately be as ashamed as shiite….
Cause in the final analysis, Class is Class, and shiite is jobby…. even if ‘jobby’ selling like snow cones at kadooment.
We will ALWAYS have those who will ‘swallow their pride’ for dollars,,,especially lots of dollars, and there are no better examples than our politicians – and this is just based on what we know PUBLICLY…so you can only imagine..
(Bushie has a $2 bet that when the truth finally falls from the rooftops, our January election was called to end disclosures in the PAC…)
The ONLY hypocrisy though, @ac, (as blogmaster often highlights) was your LACK of similar outrage when a SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE robbed a poor, sick, old, black, man, REFUSED TO PAY HIM BACK – even when publicly exposed,…..AND YOUR SHIITE PM TOLD HIM TO GET A LIER TO DEAL WITH THE OLD MAN….
@ac…Now THAT made Bushie SHAME AS SHIITE!!! …. not you…?

Bring the facts to support that comment
On BU there is the scroll by button
On radio there is the turn off button
Don’t know why any one would subject themselves to repetitive sounds
Innuendo and misinformation
Unless they are border line lunatics
@ ac
The writer of that article (a close relative of Ossie Moore) has been obsessed with people writing or speaking anonymously for DECADES now.
If these callers were required to give their name, NID number, current address, and their mother’s birth certificate reference number he would have no issue…
Presumably he has now tired of writing about ‘noise’. Presumably someone told him about the existence of ear muffs…..
Demi Miore on the cover of Vanity Fair, Beyonce for Vogue, Serena Williams on Vanity Fair, Nia Long on Ebony, Britney Spears, Cindy Crawford, Kardasians etc, etc. Some people are just determined to mislead. In the meantime women normal normal all cross Bajan beaches and party cruises in less than Ri’s Dior outfit. This is all about Mia Mottley choosing Ri as a national hero.
Enuff
Amm and yes Rhi Rhi is Barbados National hero
Again a call which Mia made all in the name of self interest which has backfired and blown up in the PM face
National heroes responsibility.also is a reflection of morals and outstanding standards grounded in a unselfish patriotic duty to country
None of those u mention have been awarded a country most prestigious honor or Awards hence they cannot and should not be subjected to any country standard that are built on moral grounding
BTW Rhi Rhi is on the taxpayers payroll
Hence she can be scrutinize when need be
On the taxpayers payroll? At this point imma exit the stage in ALL directions. I prefer a woman in nearly nothing than a serial liar, especially one arguing about morals. Get up good!
“Tick tock,”
Goes the old fart’s clock
And not a moment too soon!
This stench too shall pass
As a whiff of hot gas
With air out of noses
Noses out of the air
It’s coming up roses
Breathing then fresh and free
For the young and the young at heart.
OLD FARTISM DEPART!
Find the pics in this story very interesting not so much about her outfit but her husband standing beside her holding a suitcase
Lol
Makes for wonder what her handlers have in mind

You major in the minor. Under Rihanna’s bikini bottom is a vagina! No mystery there! We women tend to have them.
Only old farts, hypocrites and yardfowls are wondering, while licking their chops waiting to use one woman to bring down another!
Ain’t going to happen!
There’s more to life than pussy gazing.
Meanwhile…some old fart wants Peter Wickham to hide himself in the shadows because he is an ‘aberration’.
Pray tell me, did Peter Wickham make himself? Is he responsible for the way he was made?
And should conjoined twins also, being an aberration, hide themselves and tell no tales?
How about we hide away all the “freaks” like we used to do!
Or better yet, why not leave them in the jungle for the animals, as we did when the deformed were thought to be possessed by evil spirits!
Even if we were to accept that homosexuality is an aberration, why should a person have to hide “Mother Nature’s errors” to spare us discomfort?????
P.S. I hear Father God and Mother Nature are one and the same. I don’t know how true.

I feel you jealous, doah!
Not my style but being naked is not morally wrong. You confuse morals with customs.

Jealous
That is the most frivolous excuse launched against those who finds a moral failure against Rhianna Character
So frivolous
Rihanna wears a weave well.

Xxxxx
I agree
I was joking about the jealousy but not about the nakedness.
I would much rather my daughter dress like Rihanna (AND CUSS LIKE A PIRATE) than twist facts for political reasons like you. I could get used to her style of dress but I could never get used to such shamelessness as you display here. You do not even care when somebody pulls your twist mout’ posts from the archives! These political shenanigans are what enable politicians to play us for fools. Far more damaging than a beautiful bare body!
Donna is that the best excuse u have on your artillery when shame and disgust is heaped on Rhianna maternity dress wear
Fuh peat sake my words should only matter if they can influence anyone and by what u say my words does not matter
But in Rhianna case she has influence in more ways than one Hence her style which represents her character is subject to all and every kind of criticism
Leave my name out bozie
I doubt if I shouted fire in a dark room any one would listen or care
Ask Rhianna
Sweet voice.
Rhianna rocks her billions

ONE IS ALWAYS AMAZED AT THE BOVINE EXCREMENT PRESENTED IN THE BU RUM SHOP.
WE ARE NOW LEARNING A NEW TEACHING IN EMBRYOLOGY AND GENETICS ON BU, THAT BULLERS ARE MADE.
THUS APPARENTLY WICHKAM GOT A BULLING GENE ON ONE OF HIS CHROMOSOMES. THIS CAUSED HIM TO HAVE HIS BULLING PROCLIVITIES. IS THIS BULLING GENE DOMINANT OR RECESSIVE? IS THIS GENE ON HIS SEX CHROMOSOMES OR ON THE OTHERS.
HAS ANY BULLING GENE BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY ANY TRUE SCIENTISTS ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME?
ARE THERE ANY PUNNETT SQUARES AVAILABLE ANYWHERE TO INDICATE HOW BULLING AND WICKING IS TRANSMITTED DURING ORGANOGENESIS OR AT ANY STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE ABERATIONS?
NOW CONJOINT TWINS CAN EASILY BE, EXPLAINED, AND HAVE BEEN SENSIBLY AND RATIONALLY EXPLAINED BY SINCERE SOLID SEASONED EMBRYOLOGISTS, AND CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES DUE TO OBVIOUS INBORN ERRORS OF METABOLISM HAVE NOW BEEN MAPPED OUT AND ADEQUATELY EXPLAINED BY TRUE SCIENTISTS (NOT FALSEY PSEUDO SCIENCE) CALLED BIOCHEMISTS
THE ORIGIN OF ALL THE FREAKS ONCE SEEN IN CIRCUSES AND SIMILAR SHOWS HAS BEEN DULY WORKED OUT BY TRUE SCIENCE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IMFORMATION IS SEEMINGLY UNAVAILABLE TO SOME BU SCIENCE ILLITERATES WHO DEPOSIT THEIR RUBBISH IN THE BU RUM SHOP
NOW YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD, ONE CAN JUST OPEN ANY OF THE SEVERAL GOOD TEXTBOOKS OF EMBRYOLOGY OR BIOCHEMISTRY, AND READ THIS FOR ONE’S SELF. OR ONE CAN ALSO CONTINUE DOWN THE WRONG WAY AND TALK NUFF BULL SHIT PUN BU AS MOST BU BRIMBLERS DO
AS USUAL THIS SCIENTIFIC INFORMTION IS SOUND DOCTRINE THAT CAN NOT BE REFUTED, BUT I AM VERY WILLING TO ROCK AND MOCK AT ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN SCIENTIFICALLY HOW BULLERS BECOME BULLERS AND WHY WICKERS WICK.
THIS SHOULD BE VERY HILARIOUS

So Rhianna owns 50 percent of Fenty
Would be of interest to know who are the other moguls involved in the Fenty Beauty Line
Rhianna does plenty heavy lifting in the promotion of the product

Rihanna and LVMH have built a multibillion-dollar partnership.
FROM OUR OBSESSION
How we spend
Consumers’ preferences, priorities, and values are reshaping industries.

Published August 5, 2021
Rihanna has joined the exclusive ranks of the world’s billionaires. The singer’s worth now stands at $1.7 billion, according to an estimate from Forbes. Despite her fame as a performer, it’s her makeup line, Fenty Beauty, that makes up the majority of that fortune—about $1.4 billion of it, to be exact.
Rihanna’s stardom undoubtedly helped to make the brand so valuable. Even more important was her insight in making cosmetics for a wide range of skin tones to address the needs of darker-skinned women, who had been historically underserved by the beauty industry.
But it certainly didn’t hurt that she had a powerful partner in her corner: LVMH, the luxury conglomerate behind Louis Vuitton, Dior, and many other successful brands.
Fenty Beauty—its name comes from Rihanna’s full name, Robyn Rihanna Fenty—launched in 2017 under the umbrella of LVMH’s beauty incubator, Kendo. The program creates products to be sold in Sephora, the popular cosmetics and perfume retailer also owned by—you guessed it—LVMH. The conglomerate invested €30 million (about $35 million) in cash in the venture, taking a 50.01% stake. Rihanna agreed to put in €30 million in “in-kind” contributions, meaning assets such as her time, effort, and name, and controls the remaining 49.99%. “We are aiming for the stars,” David Suliteanu, Kendo’s CEO at the time, told trade outlet WWD in 2016 (paywall).
Rihanna and LVMH: a powerful partnership
Fenty Beauty had not only had the technical expertise and financial backing of LVMH, which already had a portfolio of perfumes and cosmetics brands, but also a built-in distribution channel in Sephora. (The brand also sells online through the Fenty Beauty site.) With Rihanna’s savvy and promotion, it took off. In its first full year in operation, it generated a reported €500 million in sales.
While LVMH doesn’t break out the brand’s sales separately in its quarterly reports, it has consistently said the brand continues to grow. Last year, it also expanded into the lucrative skincare space. Forbes now estimates Fenty Beauty’s value at a “conservative $2.8 billion,” and since Rihanna owns half, that amounts to about $1.4 billion for her.
Another $270 million of her worth comes from Savage x Fenty, her lingerie company, which has also found success with a more inclusive approach than established competitors. It has a number of backers, among them L Catterton, the private equity firm owned in part by Bernard Arnault, CEO and majority shareholder of LVMH.
The ties between Rihanna and LVMH have generally been profitable for both, leading them to announce the launch of a full-fledged luxury fashion brand in 2019. It was one venture that didn’t succeed, however. It had difficulty building a clear identity, while its high prices—$700 for a shirt dress or $900 for high heels—left out many of the customers who otherwise line up for Fenty Beauty’s $22 lipstick and other products. In February, LVMH said it would put the line on pause.
