Rihanna bypass Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott on Hollywood babies rich list
Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child last week, it was reported on Thursday.
And it has now been estimated that their unnamed baby boy already has a jaw-dropping net worth of £1.2 billion, when his 34-year-old mum’s matching fortune is combined with 33-year-old A$AP’s more modest £7.5 million.
The year has started with a baby boom in Hollywood, with Kylie Jenner, 24, (£749m) giving birth to her second child – formerly named Wolf – with her boyfriend Travis Scott, 31, (£41.5m) three months ago. They also share Stormi, four.

More recently, her half-sister Kourney Kardashian (£52m) began her IVF journey with partner Travis Barker (£40m).
According to Buzz Bingo, Kim Kardashian (£1.3b) and now ex-husband Kanye West (£1.3b) take the second-place spot with £2.6 billion between them to be shared among North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.
Beyoncé (£378m) and Jay-Z (£984m) follow closely behind at number three, with £1.3 billion between them, providing their three children – Blue Ivy, 10, and four-year-old twins Sir and Rumi – with a decent £433m each.
Data was gathered from celebrity parents and their total estimated net worth in dollars, converted to pounds and then divided evenly and ranked among the number of children to determine the estimated net worth per child.
Rihanna had her baby boy on May 13, according to a report from TMZ.
The Savage x Fenty designer and the DMB singer have yet to confirm the baby’s arrival and the site did not yet have news on a name.
The last time the cover girl was seen out in public was on May 9 when she left Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California with Rocky by her side after a romantic Italian dinner.
DailyMail.com reached out to Rihanna’s rep for comment at the time.

According to People, the star is at her home in Los Angeles resting with the baby.
‘Rihanna is doing well. They are very excited to be parents. Rihanna is already a wonderful mom,’ said the site’s source.
This is a first child for both Rihanna and A$AP who have been romantically linked for two years after several years of friendship.
It was speculated that they secretly wed or perhaps got engaged as Rocky wore a Marry Me grill in his music video for DMB (Dat My B*tch) and she had on a red wedding dress with veil for a mock wedding.

News that Rihanna was dating longtime friend A$AP broke in January 2020 following her split from Hassan Jameel, whom she dated for almost three years.
The Barbados native and A$AP were also romantically linked in 2013 for a brief period when she appeared in his music video for Fashion Killa.
In January of this year she revealed she was pregnant when she stepped out with Rocky in Harlem, NYC, where he grew up.
She looked proud while presenting her baby bump as she had her long hot pink jacket pulled back to expose her tummy.
As far as being pregnant, she told Vogue’s May 2022 issue it did not slow her down.

‘None of the dials are turned down,’ she told the fashion bible. ‘I think I even say yes to more now because I know it will be different on the other side of this. At first I expected some magical change, but really I remain who I am.’
The star will have a lot to juggle now that she is a mom. She has her singing career, her makeup line and her lingerie brand.
She said: ‘Balance is one of my biggest challenges and always has been. And now there’s another human being coming into play, it changes what that means again.
‘Still, I have businesses that aren’t going to run themselves. My mom handled the three of us with not even close to the amount of resources that I have, so I can absolutely do it.’
During her pregnancy Rihanna had a habit of showing her bare belly when hitting the town, often modeling bikini tops, bras or crop tops so as to not cover her midsection.
‘Fashion is one of my favorite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal. It can get uncomfortable at times and so you can dress the part and pretend,’ she told Entertainment Tonight.
And she shared with People: ‘I’m enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy. If I feel a little chubby, it’s like, whatever! It’s a baby!’
