Today, it remains a mystery when, or rather if, Rihanna will release her ninth studio album. Although it’s been nearly a decade since she released a new music project, the Bajan superstar came back from being MIA in music to attend a star-studded event. On March 1, Rihanna performed at a pre-wedding party for Anant Ambani, the son of multi-billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, India — marking her first full show in a while, per Billboard. View this post on Instagram A post shared by COMPLEX (@complex) “The show was the best,” Rihanna shared following her performance, according to the outlet. “I haven’t done a real show in eight years.” What’s more, Rihanna’s gig reportedly earned her a check of about $6.3 million , according to Forbes. A private show that brings Rihanna to a stage outside of her Super Bowl 2023 halftime performance is a bill that may only be footed by a public figure with wealth — in this case, Mukesh Ambani, who also paid for Beyoncé to...

At age 18, Steven Bartlett made a sudden decision to skip the traditional step of higher education and instead go straight on the entrepreneurial path. Now, over a decade later, he hasn’t looked back. When attending a lecture as a former student at Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester, England, Bartlett came to the quick conclusion that it would be his final day, according to The Guardian. After dropping out, he had the freedom to fully pursue entrepreneurship. Within that initial year, Bartlett founded his first business, a leading social media marketing agency named Social Chain. Fast forward to five years later, and the success of the agency led to him becoming a millionaire. What’s more, Bartlett claimed on BBC One’s “Dragons’ Den” that by age 28, he had built Social Chain into a £300 million (or about $382 million USD) business. Bartlett recalled in an interview with AFROTECH that going from a university dropout to a millionaire in a short time span stemmed from him...
BodyArmor, a sports drink company that received an initial investment from the late Kobe Bryant, will be acquired for $5.6 billion by the Coca-Cola company. According to CNBC, the acquisition will be the largest of its kind by the soft drink company, which will have full control of the brand. The Coca-Cola Company is looking to position BodyArmor as the direct competition to Gatorade, which is owned by Pepsico. Gatorade currently has about 70 percent of the market share in sports drinks, which gives its parent company nearly full dominance over the market. What makes this full acquisition so notable is that Coca-Cola was once the sports drink’s second-largest shareholder.

At the time, too, the late Kobe Bryant was the third-largest shareholder in the company, as well — and his investment was made just two years after the company was launched. According to the outlet, Kobe Bryant’s...
