Does Rihanna have a Double Birth Order?



       













Rihanna, the Barbadian singer, actress and fashion designer 
was born February 20, 1988 in Saint Michael, Barbados.  
Her career started at the age of 15 when she was discovered 
by record producer Evan Rogers. She has risen to the top of the music 

industry and fashion world in just 10 years. What propelled
her to this level of success?  A look at her birth order will
give us the answer.

Early Family Life
Robyn Rihanna Fenty was the oldest of three children of 
Monica and Ronald Fenty.  She was a child full of life and 
liked being the center of attention posing for the camera 
when family pictures were taken.  Her mother Monica was 
a make-up artist and Robyn learned early how to apply 
makeup. Her father, Ronald is a clothes designer and he 
and Rihanna would sell them at a stall in the open market 
in Barbados. She has two younger brothers Rorrey 2yrs 
younger and Rajad eight years younger.

Older Siblings
Rihanna has three older siblings from her father’s earlier affairs,
each has a different mother. She meet Candy the oldest when 
she was 15 and Candy was 24. Samantha is 7 years older 
than Rihanna and remembers braiding her hair when she was 
3 years old.  The youngest is Jamie and he is 4 years older 
than Rihanna.  There is no information when he first met her 
but extended families in Barbados are not uncommon.  
Rihanna gets together with all hersiblings when she returns 
to Barbados.

Her Birth Order
If we look at her birth family we see she is the firstborn with two
younger brothers.  She certainly has demonstrated the traits of
the first born, looking after her younger brothers and getting
a lot of attention. There has been mentioned a fight with her
younger brother Rorrey.  This is a natural occurrence for the
firstborn to defend her throne. Her father was a known alcoholic
and addicted to crack cocaine.  She has described abuse in the
family. Her parents divorced then she was 14.  As the firstborn 
with an addicted father she would be an overachiever as she 
would feel some responsibility for the problem.  Of course she 
had nothing to do with the cause of his problem, but it is 
common for firstborn children to feel responsibility when these 
problems occur.  If we look at her older half/siblings she 
becomes the fourth birth. This number is added to her #1 birth   
order giving her a 4/1 double birth order.  The four birth order is the  
playful child that wants to have 
fun and others look out for them. This combination of birth 
orders may be the reason she has been so successful. 
Leaving Barbados at 15 and moving to the US with another 
family was a way she could escape her situation.

Chris Brown
In 2009 her boyfriend Chris Brown was arrested on suspicion of
making criminal threats. He was also charged with assault as 
photos showed the visible injuries sustained by Rihanna. 
Picking boy-friends may go back to her experiences with her 
abusive father.  Let’s hope she has progressed past this 
problem in her life.

Achievements
For having worked only 10 years in the entertainment industry
she has achieved great success.  She holds the Guinness 
World Record for digital single sales of 58 million in 2012.  
She is the 2nd best selling female artist only behind Madonna. 
She received the Fashion Icon Lifetime achievement award in 
2014. In 2006 she started the Believe Foundation to help 
terminally ill children.  Many more awards have come her way.

The Future
The future looks bright for Rihanna.  Balancing her two birth 
orders has been easy for her.  Taking charge as a #1 and 
entertaining and having fun as a #4 seems to be in balance 
for her. She shares this double birth order with none other
 than Walt Disney and Donald Trump.
