They said, the more good deeds you do, the more blessings come into your way. Rihanna always lends a helping hand to those in need, be it her own family, friends, or even strangers. In 2017, Harvard hailed her as Humanitarian of the Year.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Anyone who works hard needs to play hard, and Rihanna is not an exemption to that rule. She spoils herself in lavish vacations, such as cruising the Mediterranean sea in superyachts. Rihanna also takes occasioanl luxurious trips to Portofino, Honolulu, and her motherland, Barbados.

And, to keep up with her busy schedule, she hires the best people out there to help her manage her tasks. She has a personal chef, several fitness trainers, stylists, make-up artists, and dermatologists available for her around the clock. Another way she chooses to view this fact is that she is creating job opportunities for professionals and in a way, is helping them make a living.

Sharing Her Blessings

To further share her fortune, Rihanna knows how to use the philanthropist side of her in the best way possible.  In September 2018, she hosted a Diamond Ball-Out under Fenty Beauty to donate all the proceeds to women and children in need. She also founded the Clara Lionel Foundation in 2012 that provides scholarship and healthcare services.
