How long does it take light to reach the earth from Rigel?

The star Rigel, which has a visual magnitude of 0.18, is listed as the beta star in Orion (Beta Orionis). It has approximately 17 solar masses (17M), and is something on the order of 62 times the sun's radius. If Rigel was where our sun is, its outer boundaries would extend out around where the asteroid belt is. It would completely engulf all the inner planets.
