RIHANNA is having a hard time accepting her new status as a billionaire because she never loses sight of where she came from.
She said, “It feels good to be able to inspire young women and boys . . . who like me . . . come from humble beginnings, who come from parents who are immigrants or who are immigrants themselves . . . to be able to do this.”
Rihanna will continue to share her wealth by helping others with her Clara Lionel Foundation, which funds emergency responses to natural disasters and supports education opportunities for marginalized communities.
She said, “Every dollar I make, I want to give it back . . . When it comes to people who need help, it hurts when I can’t do as much as I want . . . [The Clara Lionel Foundation] is about to grow in a way that I’m really proud of.”
It’s kind of refreshing to have a billionaire not using their money to launch themselves into space.
