Rihanna has been publicly linked to Chris Brown, Drake, Hassan Jameel and A$AP Rocky, but those connections are not all equally confirmed—and the available evidence does not support ranking the men by personal net worth. The clearest account separates reported relationships from rumored links and treats wealth estimates as unverified unless they are comparable and dated.
Who has Rihanna dated?
Public timelines name several high-profile relationships and reported connections. Their labels matter: a media-reported link is not the same as a confirmed partnership, and Rihanna’s own reported description of Chris Brown as her last “real, official boyfriend” makes it especially important not to present every widely discussed connection as an unequivocal relationship.
Chris Brown
Time reported that Rihanna described Brown in a 2015 Vanity Fair interview as her last “real, official boyfriend.” Their relationship also involved a documented assault: Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to felony assault of Rihanna. That history should not be reduced to celebrity gossip or treated as a measure of either person’s current circumstances.
Drake
Rihanna and Drake were repeatedly linked in media coverage, but the status of their relationship has been described as ambiguous. Time recounts Rihanna saying they were friends. It is more accurate to call Drake a reported connection than to state without qualification that he was a confirmed former partner.
#1 Best Overall
Hassan Jameel
Us Weekly’s relationship timeline reports that Rihanna and Jameel were together from 2017 to 2020. Those dates reflect entertainment reporting, not a formal public record. He is commonly described in coverage as one of her former partners.
A$AP Rocky
Vogue’s relationship timeline covers Rihanna and A$AP Rocky as a couple and reports that they have two children. That timeline describes him as her partner, not simply as an ex. It does not by itself establish their relationship status as of October 2026, so this article does not label him a former partner.
Other reported links
Us Weekly’s timeline also includes names such as Matt Kemp among people Rihanna was linked to. A reported link should not be upgraded to a confirmed relationship unless the source supports that distinction.

No reliable, comparable ranking is established by the available sources. A defensible comparison would require person-specific estimates for the same date, using comparable methods and clearly identifying the original publisher. The evidence here does not provide that common basis for Rihanna’s former partners.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Forbes maintains a real-time profile for Rihanna, but a changing estimate for one person cannot establish a ranking against others without equally sourced, dated estimates for each individual. A real-time wealth estimate is not an audited disclosure, and a family’s wealth should not be presented as an individual partner’s net worth.
Entertainment websites may publish net-worth figures, but estimates from different publishers are not automatically comparable or verified. Because no suitable common set of figures or methodology is established here, assigning ranks—or repeating numbers as facts—would create more certainty than the evidence warrants.
Quick Recap
Rank #4
What the evidence supports
- Former partner: Brown is identified as a former partner, and Time attributes the “last ‘real, official boyfriend’” description to Rihanna’s 2015 Vanity Fair interview.
- Reported relationship: Us Weekly reports a 2017–2020 relationship with Jameel; the dates are entertainment reporting.
- Ambiguous connection: Drake was repeatedly linked to Rihanna, but the relationship status is not clear enough to call him an unequivocal ex.
- Partner, not automatically an ex: Vogue’s timeline presents Rocky as Rihanna’s partner and reports two children; it does not establish their status as of October 2026.
- No defensible wealth order: The available material does not establish comparable, dated, person-specific net-worth figures for the former partners.
