Robyn Rihanna Fenty (/riˈænə/ ⓘ ree-AN-ə;[3][4][n 1] born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer, businesswoman, and actress. She has had a significant cultural impact through both her music and fashion ventures. Rihanna is one of the wealthiest and best-selling musicians of all time, with estimated sales of 250 million records. Her accolades include nine Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and thirteen American Music Awards.
Rihanna was discovered by producer Evan Rogers and signed to Def Jam Recordings in 2005. She debuted with the Caribbean-inspired records Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl Like Me (2006), both of which reached the top ten of the U.S. Billboard 200. They spawned the singles "Pon de Replay" and "SOS", which peaked at number two and one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Adopting a more mature image, Rihanna transitioned to dance-pop and R&B on the album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007) and its reissue, subtitled Reloaded (2008). The project spawned a string of successful singles, including the U.S. number-one songs "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", and "Disturbia".
After exploring darker and more personal themes on the rock-imbued record Rated R (2009), Rihanna returned to her more upbeat sound on the dance-pop sets Loud (2010) and Talk That Talk (2011), and later ventured into synth-pop on Unapologetic (2012), which became her first album to top the Billboard 200. The albums contained the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Rude Boy", "Only Girl (In the World)", "What's My Name?", "S&M", "We Found Love", and "Diamonds". After her departure from Def Jam in favor of Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation, she released the dancehall-influenced record Anti (2016), which became her second chart-topping album, yielding the U.S. number-one single "Work". Her films include Battleship (2012), Home (2015), and Ocean's 8 (2018).
The highest-certified female digital single artist by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Rihanna has seven U.S. diamond certified singles and fourteen number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside entertainment, Rihanna is known for her business ventures; she founded the nonprofit Clara Lionel Foundation, the cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, and fashion brand Fenty under LVMH, becoming the first Black woman to lead a luxury brand for the group. She was named an ambassador by the Government of Barbados and declared a National Hero of Barbados in 2021. Rihanna has been listed amongst history's greatest artists by publications such as Rolling Stone and Billboard.
