After starting her own show, she became one of the most popular national figures to ever be broadcast on TV. Her audience grew by the minute and was estimated somewhere around 30 million viewers each week in the U.S. only. Oprah’s net worth is currently estimated at $2.6 billion.

In the year 2012, Blakely’s company was worth $1 billion.

Rihanna

Believe it or not, Rihanna is not only a music artist. In fact, she hasn’t even produced music lately. Rihanna is a real entrepreneur. In 2011, she started her own fragrance business; later in 2917, she established her own makeup brand called Fenty Beauty. In 2018, Rihanna expanded her business to include a lingerie brand called Savage X Fenty and she’s quickly growing even today.
