Jenner, the only person on the list in her 20s, is worth $ 700 million, down $ 300 million from last year’s list. After the publicly traded Coty agreed to acquire a controlling stake in Kylie Cosmetics in November 2019, Coty disclosed information indicating that Kylie Cosmetics had lower income than the Kardashian-Jenner family had previously reported. Forbes. The pandemic made matters worse: Kylie Cosmetics reported a 48% drop in revenue for the first half of 2020, to $ 52 million. Kylies’ sister Kim Kardashian West, 39, also signed a deal with Coty last year, selling a 20% stake in her KKW Beauty to the beauty giant in July.

Tech-savvy women have seen particularly big gains since 2019.

Several members of the music world list are under 40 years old. Rihanna, 32, is once again the richest musician in the Americas, with a net worth of $ 600 million. Much of this is due to the value of its cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty (a company with luxury goods group LVMH), and its Savage x Fenty lingerie line, co-owned by Techstyle Fashion Company. Beyonc Knowles, 39, is worth $ 420 million, an increase of $ 20 million from last year. Taylor Swift, 30, is worth $ 5 million more this year, or $ 365 million.

Landing at No. 87 on the list, she is four places behind former competitor Serena Williams (net worth: $ 225 million), 39.

Lady Gaga, 34, is also new to the list, with a net worth of $ 150 million. The pop star was scheduled to undertake a world tour this year to promote his sixth studio album, Chromatica, before it was canceled in response to the pandemic.
