6. 4. Rihanna - $75 million
If there's one woman that made 2016 her year, it's RiRi. After dropping her eighth studio album 'Anti' in January, the star earned herself her 21st top five single, matching that of Elvis Presley. Her FENTYxPUMA range was also highly profitable, as well as her deals with Dior, Stance and Samsung.
