MANILA, Philippines — Rihanna surely knows what it means to “work, work, work, work, work” as the lyrics from her 2016 hit suggests.

In a profile released by Forbes on Wednesday, Rihanna was named as the richest female musician worldwide with $600 million fortune.

Trailing behind Rihanna are Madonna with $570 million, Celine Dion with $450 million and Beyoncé with $400 million.
