Long before the beauty empire made her a billionaire, this Barbadian pop superstar had quietly built a foundation named after her grandparents — and it moved $5 million in the first weeks of the pandemic.
The full story
Rihanna founded the Clara Lionel Foundation in 2012, named for her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite. In March 2020 it committed $5 million to COVID-19 relief, and in 2022 she pledged $15 million toward climate justice. Barbados named her a National Hero on November 30, 2021, the day the country became a republic.

— Barbados declared her a National Hero on the day it became a republic.
