Fenty Beauty currently retails between N23,000 to N25,000 in Nigeria.

In its first year, the company of which she owns 50 per cent of stocks, achieved sales of $550m, far more than other celebrity-endorsed makeup ranges, and earned Rihanna the title of Forbes richest female musician in August 2021.
