The female celebs out-earning their men by billions… Rihanna’s untouchable net worth to Margot Robbie’s ‘normal’ beau
US normal ladies might be earning 9p less than men per hour, but the same can’t be said for our A-List peers.
Stars like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Margot Robbie are out-earning their boyfriends and husbands by hundreds of millions… sometimes BILLIONS.
The gender pay gap for us ordinary women means we’re being paid just 91p for every £1 a man earns, according to the latest analysis of official government data.
Meanwhile, public fascination with celebrity bank accounts is consistently growing as more female stars now bring home bigger paychecks than their male partners.
One star is worth a whopping £1.11 billion more than her boyfriend, while another exceeds her beau by £1.07 billion, research by experts at QR Code Generator found.
“We found women not just matching their partners financially but often leaving them in the dust,” says Marc Porcar, CEO of the business.
“What really stands out is this pattern cutting across all entertainment fields.
“From music to movies to business, these women have built massive fortunes through smart choices and multiple income streams.
“The biggest cash gaps happen when one partner builds an entire business empire beyond their initial fame.”
Fabulous takes a look at the women ludicrously more wealthy than their men and exactly how they earned their fortunes…
Margot Robbie – £28 million difference
Margot Robbie, 34, met her British husband on the set of war film Suite Française in 2013. Tom Ackerley, also 34, was assistant director and the two became friends.
In 2014, the soon-to-be-couple and two pals moved to London, renting a flat in the trendy Clapham district.
It was later that year that things turned romantic, with Margot telling Vogue: “We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought: ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.’
“And then it happened and I was like: ‘Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before’.”
Tom, who is regularly touted as a ‘normal’ other half for Margot by Hollywood standards, continues to work as a film producer, including on wife’s films Barbie (2023) and I, Tonya (2017).
He has an estimated net worth of £3 million compared to Margot’s £31 million, making her the breadwinner of their family by a whopping £28 million, according to QR Code Generator.
Nicola Peltz Beckham – £31 million difference
She might be married to one of the most famous nepo babies in the world, but Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, is way richer than her entrepreneurial beau.
The actress tied the knot with son of Three Lions ace David Beckham and Posh Spice, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, back in 2022.
They first met at the Coachella music festival in 2017, but didn’t romantically click until another encounter at a Leonardo DiCaprio’s Halloween party in 2019.
And while Brooklyn has his own hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, his net worth is sizeably less than his wife’s.
Nicola is worth a cool £39 million, while Brooklyn is worth £8 million, according to QR Code Generator.
That being said, she is the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner, so her wealth isn’t totally self-made, the experts added.
Kylie Jenner – £58 million difference
If you don’t live under a rock, you will have seen the videos of Kylie Jenner, 27, and actor Timothée Chalamet, 29, laying on the PDA at Coachella music festival.
They sparked a romance in 2023, shortly after Kylie had split with rapper Travis Scott, 33, the father of her two children.
And while it’s unclear how they actually met, there have been a number of public sightings of them kissing and cuddling each other.
Beauty mogul Kylie’s net worth is tipped at £77 million by QR Code Generator.
In comparison, Wonka actor Timothée is said to have built up a net worth of £19 million through his impressive filmography.
Despite significant media attention, he rarely discusses his love life – and Kylie has similarly been illusive about their relationship on the current series of The Kardashians.
Cameron Diaz – £77 million difference
After a slew of high-profile relationships in the public eye, actress Cameron Diaz, 52, married musician Benji Madden, 46, at her home in Beverly Hills, California, in January 2015.
Shockingly, the couple had been introduced only ten months earlier by a close friend.
Benji is the lead guitarist and backing vocalist for the rock band Good Charlotte – and while he has received various awards, his net worth doesn’t touch his wife’s.
That’s because Cameron’s films have grossed over £2 billion in the US box office and her output of romantic comedies in the Nineties and Noughties established her as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
So much so, she was named the highest-paid actress over 40-years-old in 2013.
Cameron’s net worth is pitted at £108 million compared to Benji at £31 million, according to the experts at QR Code Generator, leaving an eye-watering difference of £77 million.
Kris Jenner – £120 million difference
She’s the mastermind behind the most famous family in the world, and has earned herself a net worth of £132 million by catapulting her six kids into stardom and taking a 10% cut.
But Kris Jenner, 69, isn’t fussed about her beau being equally as wealthy as her. The mum of Kim Kardashian has been with boyfriend Corey Gamble, 44, for nearly a decade.
The couple first met in Ibiza in August 2014 at mutual friend Riccardo Tisci’s 40th birthday party.
Their relationship began soon after Kris’ divorce from Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn) after 22 years of marriage, raising concerns among her six children – especially due to the age gap.
Former talent manager and entertainment industry guru Corey has totted up a net worth of £12 million through his showbiz career, according to QR Code Generator.
That leaves a massive difference of £120 million between Kris and Corey, but who’s counting?
Selena Gomez – £735 million difference
Selena Gomez, 32, and Benny Blanco, 37, have fast become music’s hottest couple, even announcing their engagement in December last year.
They began dating in 2023 after collaborating on an album together, with Selena being the artist and Benny being the brains as a producer and songwriter.
Benny is the brains behind not just Selena’s work, but some of pop’s biggest anthems, including Diamonds by Rihanna, Teenage Dream by Katie Perry and Circus by Britney Spears.
His impressive discography has earned him a net worth of £39 million – and while it’s a lot, it’s nowhere near his wife-to-be’s.
Thanks to being a child actress, a successful musician and beauty mogul, Selena’s net worth is a staggering £774 million.
The experts at QR Code Generator confirmed that her riches are “thanks to hit songs, acting gigs and her wildly successful Rare Beauty makeup line”.
Rihanna – £1.07 billion difference
Like Selena Gomez, pop icon Rihanna, 37, diversified her income stream by launching her name-sake beauty brand Fenty.
That being said, she is the best-selling female recording artist of the 21st century by Guinness World Records and as of 2024, the third wealthiest musician in the world.
This roaring success puts the mum-of-two’s net worth around £1.07 billion, according to QR Code Generator.
By comparison, her fellow musician beau A$AP Rocky has an estimated net worth of £15 million, leaving a whopping £1.07 billion difference.
The two first met in 2012 through work and stayed friends for years before their relationship turned romantic in 2020.
They now share two sons: RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one.
Taylor Swift – £1.11 billion difference
She’s the first musician to amass a billion-pound net worth primarily from music, so it would be silly to expect Taylor Swift’s boyfriend to come close to hers.
The Shake It Off singer, 35, started dating American football player Travis Kelce, also 35, in 2023, around the same time she was declared a billionaire.
The pair connected over text initially before quietly “hanging out”. It soon flourished into a full-blown relationship, with Travis attending Taylor’s concerts and she attending his games.
Her 22-year music career has earned her a massive £1.16 billion fortune, which outstrips NFL star Travis’ £54 million with an incredible £1.11 billion difference.
Taylor is the richest female musician in the world, and one of the wealthiest celebrities – how could Travis compete?
That being said, she has a strong philanthropic record, including directly employing local businesses throughout her Eras Tour and giving nearly £150 million in bonus payments to her entire crew.
