Rihanna ‘concealed’ at the zenith of her career: Not releasing a new record for almost a decade yet still achieving billionaire status due to a career transition.

This vocalist is regarded as one of the few individuals capable of excelling in both the entertainment and business sectors.

The music market is highly dynamic, prompting certain listeners to anticipate the return of an artist who has been “in hiding” for several years, specifically Rihanna, through the release of new music.

No new album in almost a decade, occasionally performing to alleviate her yearning for her career.

Since the release of the album Anti in 2016, Rihanna has not issued any official musical works; yet, her “art team” continues to excel. Rihanna consistently ranks among the top 10 most-streamed female artists on Spotify each month, maintaining a stable number of streams despite the influx of new artists over time. A sales analytics website has published data regarding Rihanna’s album sales in 2024. The female singer sold over 1 million records in 2014 without releasing any music items.

Despite not releasing a new album in the past eight years, she has been actively engaged in prominent films as an actress, notably Ocean’s 8. She continues to actively manage operations despite her pregnancy. She received an invitation to play the song “Lift Me Up,” the music of the film “Wakanda Forever,” at the 2023 Oscars. The depiction of the Umbrella singer performing at the “super stage” during last year’s Super Bowl has become an indelible emblem in the minds of music enthusiasts.

Rihanna recently generated significant attention by performing at the wedding of the son of India’s wealthiest tycoon. Numerous sources indicate that billionaire Mukesh Ambani paid the female singer 6 million USD (about 147 billion VND) for her attendance. With the amount of money received, Rihanna is currently the female singer with the highest wedding singing fee ever recorded in showbiz.
