As her wealth grows, the singer recently revealed her plans to pursue mental health advocacy full-time at a mental health summit for her brand.

"I think moments like this [summit] make me very hopeful, but I don't think I'll ever stop doing this," the singer said when talking about the future of mental heath discussion.

"I'm obviously not a political figure or anything, but I would do as much as I possibly could eventually.

"I probably would stop work and devote most of my time to this."

The actress, who has both bipolar disorder and lupus diagnoses, has been very transparent with her fans in the past about her struggle with anxiety and depression.

As part of Rare Beauty, the singer has also founded the Rare Impact Fund to help raise awareness for mental health.
