Rihanna is set to bring her ‘Fenty Beauty’ Cosmetics Brand to Kenya

This must be an amazing deal for Kenyan beauties since the Barbadian singer-turned-fashion mogul Rihanna has announced that she is finally bringing her global cosmetics brand ‘Fenty Beauty’ to Kenya.

Rihanna in social media posts on Tuesday, said Kenya is among a host of African countries that will soon receive stocks of her ‘Fenty Beauty’ and ‘Fenty Skin’ products.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment!! @fentybeauty & @fentyskin are finally dropping in AFRICA!!! Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe…we comin at ya May 27th and that’s just the beginning!!! #FentyAfrica,” she wrote.

Forbes magazine last year announced that the 33-year-old pop star is a billionaire, estimating her net worth then to be $1.7 billion (approx. Ksh.197 billion), making her the wealthiest female musician and the second-richest woman in entertainment behind Oprah Winfrey and Fenty Beauty estimation alone to be worth $2.8 billion (approx. Ksh.324 billion).

However, in 2018 the makeup brand was generating more than $550 million (approx. Ksh.63 billion) in annual revenues earning more than Kim Kardashian West’s KKW Beauty, Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics and Jessica Alba’s Honest Company.
