15 Facts That Prove Rihanna Is Slowly (But Surely) Destroying The Kardashian Empire

Rihanna and the Kardashians are a huge business right now. All the ladies rake in millions of dollars with their beauty lines, fashion collaborations and clothing lines, endorsements and more. Kim and Kylie sell out beauty products in minutes, Khloe has a successful denim line, Kourtney wants to do home design and Kendall's got amazing modeling contracts. But Rihanna may be taking the lead on the famous TV family as all the ladies hit maternity leave with their new babies. With Kylie and Kim expanding their broods, their brands may take a bit of the backseat to their newborns and Khloe's next on the list.

And Rihanna has been front and center with her highly successful partnerships and ventures, especially her Fenty Beauty makeup line taking off, it's only a matter of time until she expands to a skincare line and possibly her very own fashion line. Fenty Beauty didn't just take off, part of the foundation line would sell out in stores and online. Can the Kardashian ladies band together to battle Rihanna's to the top? Or will Rihanna officially destroy the Kardashian Empire with her ultimate hyphenated resume--Singer/Actress/Fashion Designer/Movie Star and Entrepreneur? Check out how Rihanna can pick off the Kardashian's one by one!

15 Fenty Beauty's Killing Kylie Cosmetics and KKW Right Now

Fenty Beauty is so hot right now. The makeup company exploded on the scene a few months ago and it's been rave reviews ever since. What set Fenty beauty apart from other companies was its super inclusive line of foundation shades. At this moment Fenty Beauty is a little behind Kylie Cosmetics and KKW Beauty, since Rihanna's brand is a newbie on the block. But Fenty Beauty is already projected to outsell Kim and Kylie's brand if she continues her momentum.

It took Kylie Cosmetics under two years to make $420 million. And that's enormous. But Fenty Beauty's September 2017 debut reportedly outsold Kylie's first month sale totals from her brand's debut in 2015.

And Fenty's numbers were even bigger in month two. Kylie's yearly sales topped everyone but Fenty's not even a year old.

14 Rihanna Tops Fashion Lists Constantly While Kim Has To Struggle To Get There

Rihanna stops traffic with her fashion choices. Its taken Kim K. and fam a few years to gain some traction in the fashion industry. Does anyone remember when Rihanna wore that yellow Guo Pei gown to the Met Gala in 2015, she became a meme the next day and her dress was all anyone could talk about on Twitter. But Rihanna's street style is cool too because she's a risk taker. She knows how to transition from girly girl to tomboy and back! She's been seen rocking Giambattista Valli, Zac Posen, Stella McCartney, Dior and Alexander McQueen. Kim Kardashian is now getting the attention of designers like Balmain, now that she's willing to take risks. Kim's vanilla attire was amped up after getting together with Kanye West, but we aren't sure about all those Yeezy looks will land her on the best-dressed list.

13 She's A Musical Genius And There's Not A Stitch Of Musical Talent In The Kardashian Household

Rihanna is a legit hitmaker. 'We Found Love' was played on a loop on most major radio stations for months. And you couldn't get away from her other major hits, 'Umbrella,"Disturbia,"Take A Bow,"Rude Boy,"Only Girl,"What's My Name,"Diamonds' and the list goes on. Rihanna's even had a hit with Kim K.'s hubby, Kanye West with 'Run This Town.' But Kim's kinda just famous for being famous. Sure, she has goods now like fragrances, a beauty line, and a video game app, but she came in with no real skills. And she shelved what we can only assume is an embarrassing music video she made years before marrying Kanye. It was called “Jam (Turn It Up)” and never made it to the Billboard charts, but it was eventually released for charity. Even Kim K. wanted her crack at a singing career. If Paris Hilton can do it.

12 Rihanna's Had Successful Collaborations, But What Happened To The Kardashian's Sears Collection

Rihanna made Puma tons of money. Her partnership with the athletic apparel company brought a lot of attention and sales to the brand. She's since departed as the company's creative director of women's collections, but when Rihanna released her faux fur slides the Puma website crashed. And then there were her funky Creeper sneakers which were named Shoe of the Year in 2016.

The Creepers and FENTY Trainers sold out in weeks. Plus her Puma runway shows were always the most buzzed about show at Fashion Week.

But whatever happened to the Kardashian's Sears collection. The line flopped a few years ago pretty bad, not only were the ladies accused of using sweatshop workers, but it was panned by fashion reporters. One Wall Street Journal writer even called the line 'tacky'. These days Kim wouldn't go near Sears, not even for a set of tires.

11 Magazines Love When Rihanna's On The Cover And She Doesn't Try To Break The Internet She Just Does

Rihanna knows how to sell magazine covers with her clothes on (although sometimes with her clothes off). The pop singer has been known to boost magazine sales when her face appears on the cover. Add to that a cool interview and that issue might as well be golden. Can Kim K. sell a magazine? Yes of course, but she's also been known to make a magazine's sales dip. Kim and family have been known to oversaturate their presences---from their multiple shows, social media, appearances, and everyday drama the Kardashians can get themselves into. Sometimes they are everywhere and people are just over them. Add to that Kim's overly adult image these days and parents might not want their kids checking out ALL of Kim K's bodacious bod!

10 Rihanna's Charity Game On Is Point, But How Much Have The Kardashians Raised?

Rihanna loves to give back, she even started a charity in other grandmother's name The Clara Lionel Foundation, which helps provide children with access to education, healthcare and arts programs. And she's raised millions with her Diamond Ball, which benefits the foundation,

“I am thrilled to bring the Diamond Ball to New York City and bring everyone closer to the mission, the partnerships, the programs and the people at the heart of it all,” said Rihanna at her 2017 Diamond Ball. “Together, we are funding groundbreaking and effective global education, health, and emergency response programs. We are investing in the future and helping to improve the quality of life for young people and their families around the globe.”

Rihanna is also attached to several other causes like UNICEF and Global Citizen Project. Kim Kardashian is also philanthropic, but not to Rihanna's scale.

She tends to have a few charities she is involved with, but with her platform, she could really change the scope for a cause.

9 Rihanna Keeps Private Life Off TV, But The Kardashian Fam Lives For The Attention

There has been no reality TV show for Rihanna. She's managed to keep her life out of the press, but her love life does pop up in the tabloids. Rihanna's most public relationship---with Chris Brown did make headlines for not the best reasons. After a reported fight the duo split got back together and then split again. Chris had a lot of legal issues over the altercation.

Rihanna has tried to keep her romances private over the years, but we did see her with Drake and new alleged new boyfriend, Hassan Jameel. The Kardashian family has had no such luck---since they basically broadcast most of their lives on TVfrom marriages and divorces to babies.

Kim publicly broke off her marriage to Kris Humphries after a whopping two months and that all happened on TV. Kourtney and Khloe have not been spared the drama with having high profiles splits from their partners. Kendall Jenner has been the only sister to remain unscathed by a negative relationship.

8 Rihanna Has Been Known To Cause A Fan Fury, But The Internet Loves To Diss The Kardashians

Rihanna has been known to cause a ton of fan fury. She's got an entire Navy or the #RihannaNavy behind her. Like Lady Gaga's Little Monsters or Justin Bieber's Beliebers, Rihanna's fans go hard for her. Her fans were even named best fan army at the 2014 iHeart Radio Music Awards. The Kardashians, on the other hand, seem to have a love-hate relationship with fans. While some adore and love the Kardashian, but they are still hit with tons of hate and criticisms and there's no Kardashian Krew like Rihanna's fans. The RihannaNavy even went after Kim when they thought she had stolen Rihanna's furry Fenty slides design for her children's clothing collection. Fans went after Kim for her obvious fashion inspo from Rihanna. We know Rihanna didn't invent fury slippers, but her fans weren't having it!

7 Rihanna Can Seriously Pull Off Every Hair Look Ever, While The Kardashians Were Basic For Years

Rihanna has tried every hair look in the book, long with curls, long and straight, mid length, short, pixie and a bob. Then there is her color range she gone from platinum blonde to bright red. Rihanna's stylist Yusef Williams says she loves to be a take a risk with her style.

"Ri wants to be a risk taker with her hair and with her style. She can throw on a green lip and green hair, or do corkscrews with an evening gown. We've shaved her hair from the side… we've done a lot. Even these days, when things are just chill and natural and real, it makes people think, 'Cool, she can do that too.'"

On the flip side, The Kardashian sisters were all mostly brunette their entire time on TV. It's more recent that Khloe and Kim have cut and colored their hair blonde and Kylie likes to play with wigs and hair pieces. But before that, all were really basic.

6 Rihanna Doesn't Have Any Competitive Sisters, Like The Kardashian Girls

There are five Kardashians (and Jenner) sisters, that's a lot a competition between sisters. But Rihanna doesn't have that problem, she grew up with her two younger brothers. Now RiRi does have a couple of half-sisters, but they are older than her and not in the business, but all the Kardashians sisters are.

Currently, Kim and Kylie have beauty companies that are making them millions. And it seems as though Khloe and Kourtney are trying to play catch up and want their own makeup brands.

That would have a total of 4 makeup brands by the Kardashians not counting Kendall who may also jump on bandwagon as well. Each sister does have a specific demographic, Kylie's the young crowd, Kim's more practical and natural, Khloe is trendy and Kourtney is the holistic one but are four beauty lines needed. Rihanna, on the other hand, has no family competition she's in her own lane.

5 Rihanna's Been Climbing In The Movie Biz, When Was The Last Time a Kim K. Did A Flick?

The trailer for Ocean's 8 is getting a lot of positive buzz---and Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner will make cameos, but Kim hasn't been really featured in a movie since the movie, Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor back in 2013. But Rihanna has two blockbusters under her belt Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and Battleship and the kid-friendly animated cartoon, Home. Rihanna's movies may not have been a financial success but that wasn't her fault.

Both ladies have a few TV credit under their belts. But it was Rihanna's gritty role in the TV show, Bates Motel,

where she plays a modern-day role of Marion that people are really taking notice of the budding actress. Rihanna may just have a bit more natural talent.

4 Rihanna Has A Street Named After Her In Barbados, No Such Kardashian Street in Calabasas

Rihanna might just be Barbados' biggest export. The international star is so famous in her native homeland that she was even given a huge honor, the government named a street after her in her childhood neighborhood. The street name went from Westbury New Road to Rihanna Drive. Rihanna was humbled and reminisced about her childhood on the island on Instagram, “WESTBURY is more than a community, we're family!!! Thank you for all that you've poured into my life and the woman I am! It takes a village, and I'm glad my village was you!!!! To God be the Glory!!!! #RiRiDrive.” And to top it off it was raining during the ceremony and Rihanna still managed to look amazing in a bright yellow Hellessy shirt-dress. We are pretty sure there is no Kardashian Lane in Calabasas, California.

3 Rihanna Kinda Made It All The Way To Harvard, But Kourtney's The Only Kardashian To Step On A College Campus

Rihanna never made it to college, but she earned herself a degree from Harvard for her humanitarian work.

In 2017 Rihanna was awarded the Harvard Foundation award for Humanitarian of the Year for all her humanitarian efforts.

Did you know that Rihanna started a foundation at 18 that helped critically ill children called the BELIEVE Foundation and in 2012 she began the Clara Lionel Foundation, named after her beloved grandparents. She has always wanted to help kids, even as a child herself. “I would say to myself when I grow up and I can get rich, I'm going to save kids all over the world. I just didn't know I would be in the position to do that by the time I was a teenager.” Only Kourtney finished college. No other Kardashian has a degree not even an honorary one.

2 Rihanna Isn't Afraid To Be Herself, But Kim Knows She's Self-Centered

Rihanna's a natural born risk taker from leaving Barbadoes as a teen for a music career to rockin' green lipstick to an event. Rihanna even wore a doobie or wrap hairstyle to the 2013 American Music Awards. It's technically not even a hairstyle, but a way to protect and keep your hair smooth when you sleep and Rihanna is so bold she wore it on the red carpet. Rihanna isn't afraid to be different, on the other hand, Kim has admitted she is a little self-centered. Recently a Twitter user,

“Is it me, or is @KimKardashian Sooo Self-absorbed… even when she's saying Nothing. Lol & I Like the Kardashians #KUWTK.”And Kim actually responded, “No it's not you, I totally am!”

Kim doesn't want to look unflattering or take chances. She may have been joking, but she's not a full risk-taker yet. But Rihanna is!

1 Rihanna Has No Kids Yet, But Kim, Kourtney, Kylie and Soon Khloe Must Be Mommies First

Kim, Kourtney, Kylie and soon Khloe are all mommies and that's wonderful. But when you have kids you have to divide your time between them and work. At the moment Rihanna has no children of her own, although she loves to shower her niece, Majesty with love and presents of course. But Kim's fam has to set priorities and put their kids first, Rihanna can still roam free and takes chances with her work and life. Right now a pregnant Khloe said she only has time to nest in the weekends since she's still so busy with work while she was promoting her Good American denim line, “I nest on Sundays, really,” she told ExtraTV. She is 7 months along. Rihanna still has time to expand her empire before she starts her own family if she wants one!
