According to X17online blog, our girl Rihanna just closed on this gorgeous $10 million dollar mansion located in the rolling hills of LA!
But according to our friends at RihannaDaily, who stays on top of such matters concerning Rihanna for us — a reader of theirs contacted an L.A. real estate agent who said the home is still on the market.
But what is the realtor supposed to say: “Oh, yeah, child. Rihanna bought it.” No, dears. High end real estate agents are very protective the identities of their high roller clients. They don’t want a bunch of nosy Rihanna fans scouring the hills for Ri Ri’s new home. I don’t blame them!
Rihanna’s new 10,000 sq. ft. mansion boasts:
Congrats to Rihanna! By the way, note to RihannaDaily: please upgrade your servers. Thanks.

Obviously the paps make more money than she does a year by selling her pictures alone, so did Jay-Z pay for this home….record sales surely did not.
Nice house for someone who ppl say has no talent..go gurl!
@1
Wow I can’t beieve I agree with you
Sandra be real rihanna can’t afford a 10 mill nothing not with those record sales considering she only had 45k in the bank just last year
Who are these celebs trying to fool! Did bey pay for the house? Jay z? What tour has she been on?
Records sales don’t pay for much and never have I don’t care who you are.
She has sold plenty of records though don’t get it twisted!
I will wait until I see Rihanna move in before I run with this story but the house is nice!
She does have endorsements and what not.
Nice house.
NIIIIIIIIICE
It depends on how TALENTED or INDUSTRY savy you are Daisy.
I’ve never heard 50 cent, Nelly, Beyonce, Jay Z, Eminem, or even Brittany Spears complain.
They ALL have other deals not just artist. Everybody knows you dont make real bank just by selling records TLC learned that lesson the hard way. Yes once you get to a certain level you may get more off each cd but it still aint their bread n butter. Endoresments, tours, clothing line books ringtones and anything else that can bring in extra money
What’s Rhianna’s real name again??
Robin what??
it’s a nice home….whoever’s it is!
Daisy’s right. It’s also harder to make money from record sales now with downloading.
We use to HAVE to buy a CD/Record/45(??)if we wanted to hear something. Kids now go on myspace, itunes and all kinds of other places to listen to music for free. Artists today are definatley not making money as fast as they did 20 years ago.
yea sandra rihannadaily need to do something with their site. i hate going to their page because it takes FOREVER for the pages to come up especially the pictures
@Mia Robyn Rihanna Fenty
What @Kat said …
And @Daisy & @miamore73 are ON-POINT !!!
Song-writing/publishing and Producing are STILL the true money making entities… Everything thing else is ADD-ON(s) to Exposure, Over-Exposure, Popularity-n-Fan Base ALONG WITH your contacts within the industry and WHATEVER back-handed deals you can become a part of
Wow, wonder what it’s like to be that rich and that fierce, not to mention popular! I hope she knows who to thank and also realizes that to stay on top, you have to think on top, ALL THE TIME, not to mention all the hard work involved in staying there. Peace.
Did Rihanna write anything on her albums or anyone else’s? If so, then she could be getting money from credits.
If not - I cram to understand why she’s still as significant as she is. There are waaay more under-rated artist’s out here that deserve the notoriety and the pay.
She either wrote some songs, is very good with money management & investments, or has a sidebar profession - because as pretty as she may be, I can’t see Rihanna as being truly significant on an artistry level right now. That Run This Town song sounds horrible. And besides posing for the camera’s - what else has she has done for us lately????? Just asking.
Keep em talking Rihanna folks steady trying to figure out how you got money in the bank shawty what you thank/drank lol whatever he says lol
Now that I think of it…I guess WE ALL keep her significant whether we post pictures, give perspectives, stan, or hate - don’t we? ;-)
Nuff’ said on this one…on to the next post.
50 cent - debut sold 12 milli worldwide
Nelly - debut sold 9 milli in the US
Eminem - debut sold 9 milli worldwide
Beyonce - debut sold 4 milli upon release has sold and now 13 milli worldwide
Brittany Spears - debut sold 9 milli upon release and now 25 milli worldwide
We won’t talk about Jay Z’s debut because he went on to do greater things BUT!
Rhianna - debut sold 2 million copies WORLDWIDE??….
some fans you are
I think its safe to say for some who are TALENTED, and industry savy or even those who are ACTIVELY pursuing a career instead of wasting time with paps…selling records can be an UNDERSTATED bread and butter machine.
I will be so glad when Rihanna actually becomes as rich as you people believe she is, the girl only made 15mil if that’s true and that’s not after Uncle Sam, so since Uncle Sam has to get his, that makes her earning worth 2.5 mil in pocket after she had to pay out to everyone except her family. So how in the hell! can she aford something like this? She cant. Rihanna dont need to work, the only thing she has to do is sit back and let the sites continue to issue false, hopeful statements about her and she will ever be in the public’s eye. Oh! my fault, that’s what she is doing now! This girl is so OVERRATED and not worth all this mess..
I’m sorry, I did not read the dream part, now that’s a possibility! In her wildest!
record sales you can eat off of depending upon your deal and how its structured. master P made plenty money strickly off record sales. and its if you really own your publishing thats the backbone of the money you make the checks that will keep coming. now rhianna is a packaged entity so she gets paid off more than just record sales she got endorsements. but most of money made is off of touring and im sure she gets a pretty penny for an appearance
@east Master P owned everything and he had other deals as well
Krysi she has sold way more cds than 2 million since she has been out lol She really blew up after her 3rd cd
Hi five @ whyohwhy. Thank you kindly.
Krysi she has sold way more cds than 2 million since she has been out lol She really blew up after her 3rd cd
—————————————————
so has the other artist homie, I was just trying to keep it fair and only speak on their debut albums
@Eastpoint I agree Master P is still the man in my eyes, one of the smartest dudes to ever sign a contract.
@Krysi… THAT’S a really good list (and ACCURATE also)
Britney and Rhi-Rhi are the ONLY non-writers & producers but because Brit SOLD a S-H-I-T LOAD of albums out of the door SHE was able to re-negotiate her contract and eventually got a much bigger share of her record sales ALONG WITH big money endorsement deals
I WONDER who will be the next diamond-seller (10 million plus)

are record companies still leasing houses for artists?
@ Elove
Outkast wears the title as well. (Diamond)
point….you made a good point, cuz it makes sense, maybe it was apart of her advance…well now maybe it WAS her advance….I hope she keeps the reciept.
@point … YEP YEP !!!
And Master P can thank Uncle Luke for his legacy
Luther Campbell gave all those Southern Boyz GAME FOR REAL including Baby & Cash Money
LUV Outkast (ONE of the best Hip-Hop groups EVER !!!)
sorry but i dont believe this..hmmm where is the money coming from? record sales? endorsement deals? i mean..*scratches head*
You also have to remember when P was making his music. He definately started pre-Ipod.
@kyrsi where did you get your info on record sales.
What about:
The Temptations
Janet Jackson
Anita Baker
Debarge
hell….Howard Hewitt
I wonder what’s the difference in record sales between today and 20/30 years ago.
Brittany made her money when she became a household name and had everything Brittany spears back in the day..lol Yes she sold alot of cds but that is not what got her money in the bank so to speak. I was never disputing that artist can and do sell cds BUT that is not how they make the bulk of their money.
Krysi plenty of folks don’t sell well their 1st time out that is not breaking news as long as you talking about her she doing something right
Oh and how many cds is Nelly selling now?? I love me some Nelly but I dont see him moving anything close to that many cds again. He had to get on that pimp juice to keep stacks on deck lol
@elove I wouldnt hold my breath w8n on somebody selling 10 million again
@miamore
The difference maker in record sales these days is that there are many outlets to get music. More people are buying singles than the entire album…thanks to download. We can listen to albums for free rather than buy it. And not to mention illegal downloads….and so on
Even with the endorsement rihanna has…..I don’t think she’s worth what it seems she’s worth. Or has as much as it may seem she has.
She can have $$$ to put down on a house…but lets see how u long keep up with those payments. Like Krysi said….her popularity is fueled by the paps. Lets see how long it lasts….there’s always someone new(hopefully with some talent)

““““““““““““““““““““`
i think you`re wrong on this one, britney wasnt her songs nor producing them, record sales and touring were her 2 biggest cash cows and even now but right now she`s the executive producer of her albums and add endorsements and merchandise(her own cologne) so pretty much have a diversified portfolio
wasnt writing her songs
Brittany made her money when she became a household name
————————————————–
NO, Brittany made her money when she sold 9 milli and the industry realized she was a commercial success…If she hadn’t sold 9 milli how could she be a household name….the mickey mouse club?
Oh and how many cds is Nelly selling now??
——————————————–
Hell how many cds is Rhianna selling NOW??
At least made enough to afford a 10 million dollar home without an advance, or conversations that are doubtful of his ability to do so.
either way i think I made my point, for a SOMEBODY whose so interesting to the public eye, she sure does lack in the WORK department….the only difference between her and amber rose is Rhianna is fukking Kanye (at this time) oh yea and she made some cds…
@Mia, I just typed in their names and looked up the info online.
@elove I wouldnt hold my breath w8n on somebody selling 10 million again
September 1st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
“““““““““““““““““““““`
call me crazy but i still believe its possible for an artsit to move 10 million…personally i buy cds and i love to buy cds but the difference is i have become quite picky when buying these cds because artists these days dont take time to perfect their craft, they do the studio on monday and saturday the album is out…smh
oops
I meant the only difference between her and Amber is Amber is fukking Kanye and Rhianna is not (at this time…well to our limited online knowledge I guess)
because artists these days dont take time to perfect their craft, they do the studio on monday and saturday the album is out
————————————
hmmmmm, sound like anybody familiar
whoo, yall on a roll today!
@ Miamore
Artist back in the day would sell a million records in a matter of a few weeks. But to add to the above comments. The consumer didn’t have the television shows with 24 hr videos, or the internet. So if you wanted to hear your favorite song you had to buy that record. Shoot I remember recording music off the radio..
@ Africandude.
I agree they can still sell like that… if the people want to buy the music. Emiem (sp) sold a bunch of Cd’s first week out. So did Lil Wayne… Since MJ death he has sold more than 10million CD’s.
Wonder what #’s Whitney album will see.
Ok now I :Heart: Nelly!
Country Grammar-Diamond Status
Nellyville-6X’s platinum
Da Derrty Version-1X platinum
Sweat-5x’s platinum
Suit-5x’s platinum
Not to mention endorsements with Nike & Ford. He owns Apple Bottoms and He’s part owner of the Charlotte Bobcats with Bob Johnson. Not to mention he was in the Longest Yard on CSI New York and he’s had other cameos. Nelly has some paper

lol me too! i had my re-recordable cassette tape READY for when my fav song came on the ready
The Diamond-Status Scenario:
If Outkast were very serious about getting together and doing an album… They could do 10 million units
Eminem w/ some Dr. Dre joints and Some killa Snoop, 50 cent & Ice Cube collabo(s) could pull it off also
Usher with THE RIGHT formula & producing partners could
The ONLY females that could would be Groups and in particular The ORIGINAL DC and EnVogue w/ Dawn
OUTSIDE of that it would take a MONSTER Soundtrack ala

Waiting to Exhale or The Bodyguard or New Jack City
thats right DCwife!! Tell it!!
Daisy know Rhianna has dropped like 3 or 4 cds already and still can’t cop a 10 million dollar home….but is the face of every internet blog in the galaxy of the NET.
You forgot Love and Basketball Elove and even LIFE
but yes I agree with you and the diamond scenarios…well with the exception of envouge of course. Whitney with some hot shyt could go diamond, Akon I feel could reach diamond status, if he hasn’t already in the past…ummm Black eyed peas……now I don’t necessarily cop these peoples albums but Im just being honest about the formula they have now on the highest level I think could go diamond….Alicia Keys….oh man Rhianna better be glad I left her off the list….shyt Beyonce should be glad too. lets see who else…..Kelly Clarkson…….Brittany AGAIN…..Kanye wit some hot shyt…….there could be more, but they aren’t jumping off the page right now
If Rhianna could come with some hot shyt….hell with all the publicity she could be diamond too…..whats sad is people with actuall talent like Kelly would kill for Rhianna’s promotion and publicity…cause they could back it up with a live performance on tour, and a solid album…SMH
Krysi if u read what I said n my 1st post I said I didn’t believe she bought this house but she has sold more cds than U give her credit for she just got something presented to her a few mths back for her cds sells I think its like 12-15 million
Also I never said Nelly didn’t have paper n I said I liked Nelly with his fine azz! His deals got him that money clothes n pimp juice n he was selling a bunch of cds back n the day yall act like I said nobody can sell cds that is not what I said or I’m saying. If u take an artist poll do they want cd money OR touring and endorsement money I bet they will say the latter. Nellys last cd was lukewarm his next one needs to be betta
Krysi rihanna has 3 cds FYI
Ice I wld like to believ artist can sell a dime but with itunes n bootlegs I’m not sure n e more
Rihanna’s 12mil is a total of everything she has done since being in the business, not just GGGB. Rihanna may get a lot of people looking at her but she is not making money off it, and she sure did not make enough to buy this home and keep up with the up keep.. let’s be real, Rihanna is not talent saavy either.. Unless she comes out with some songs on this new CD that is so banging she is done…
yep b/cuz I just bootleg download trey songz album and dare I say it is HAWT! what! who is phuckin with 00711 nobody now when is mario coming out with a cd?
long gone the days of selling $10m records back in the 90’s thats was guaranteed for an artist well some artists to sell or go platnium now its impossible unless you have a huge machine behine you i.e. record execs,internet & stans/fans..
I would love to see OUTKAST just shut the game down!!!
and speaking of robyn, Im wondering what kind of music she is gonna come out with this time around..?
SAndra is this BEy and Jay house?
@Krysi
I FEEL U but you need to go back and listen to EnVogue albums including the EV3 album… Dawn vocals were apparent on that one ALTHOUGH she didn’t promote because she was squeezed out of the group… “Don’t Go” is one of my all-time favorites
To me they were BETTER THAN the Supremes w/ Diana Ross !!!!!

I didn’t say it was for ONE cd I was giving the amt of cds she has sold period cause Krysi acting like she don’t move units n I think her next cd will sell very well YT folks love her for real now. Her house or not she got more money n the bank than all of us put together as it should be!
Mizz u know I LOVE Treys cd! So glad NB posted some tracks I wasn’t going to get it at 1st. I hope somebody buys marios cd but doubt I get it never been that much of a fan but he can sing n his new single is bangin!
<<<<<<—– is a diamond queen ELove I’m mad that you left her off that list.
Mad I tell ya
@ Daisy
I bought Nelly’s last CD (it was horrible)and saw him at HOB here in Chicago (he’s so cute in person). I think he should let the music go and focus on being a businessman. I was livid when he released a video for “Let it go Lil Mama” a few weeks ago….I mean seriously it’s okay to switch professions. Nelly is going to be 35. How old is too old to be rapping about b!tches, h*es, cars and clothes?
@iscream
NOT hating on Mary-J one bit (She THAT BISH as y’all say)
But her Hey-Day is in the past IMO
Her, Mariah, Whitney, Toni Braxton, A-Keys, Eryka, Jill all of THESE Female Heavy-Hitters couldn’t do Diamond Status right now… A-Keys might have a slight chance because of her age BUT she’s not nearly as BIG-n-POPULAR as the Real Queens that being Mary, Mariah, Whitney & Toni
You KNOW I-SCREAM for IScream
I was told Mario cd wasn’t out? Is it out? I want to support him. Yall making me want that Tre CD.
Oh you mean today can these artist sell… hummm. I think if she and puff got together she could do it.
OOOO isc I was in the car this morning and TRAMP came on!!!
I remember sitting at the radio with my little tape player waiting for KDAY to play it again record and play and pause button pressed down. Just a waiting. I also remembered how my friend and I loved the whole TRAMP and PLEASURE PRINCIPLE video doing the same thing. Pause play pause play. do it again girl. pause play.
that should have been learned the whole
@iscream
Puff as in Puffy as in Puff-Daddy ???
I think Puff got lost amongst the 12 different name changes
Mary is BIG-TIME — She don’t need diamond-status now IMO
@ E Love I agree cause if she selling 10 Million or 10 you can be sure to include me in that 10.
It goes back to the statement made a few months back. Mary has a following not just a fan/stan base.
Her house or not she got more money n the bank than all of us put together as it should be!
——————————————————-
I knew you would eventually have to resort to this…
, just admit it Daisy….your getting caught up in the hard work of the paparazzi babe….its an illusion at best, for you and Rhianna. Celebrities are like Gladiators they pretty much work for pennies unless they are actually talented and smart…other than that they get handed shyt for free, simply due to popularity…and marketing. Her endorsements may keep her pampered but they don’t buy 10 million dollar homes—-at least they don’t pay it off in cash….now thanks to her POPULARITY and small amount of album sales she can make payments like THE REST OF US as IT SHOULD BE. Hell she gotta WORK to get PAID.
I don’t know what her bank account look like…….Celebrities fake the funk like everybody else until it catch up with their @ss! So I won’t say she has more money in the bank than all of us put together
Elove I agree MJBs best work is behind her
Krysi I have been a fan of Rihannas music from day one way before the razzi came about way b4 CB was n the pic I said many times on here she has a unique voice n makes HAWT songs when she became a fashionista her stock rose even more with her!
I use love me some EnVouge back n the day they nevr shld have broken up!

***********************
A lot of men would agree with that statement. Mary is working with a ba donka donk donk.
Don’t ever discount what MJB can do. They said that after Puff and her spilt and she has been on top of her game ever since.
No need for me to GET STANY because Mary work speaks for itself… AND she is on top of her style game…
Ice you can stan for MJB all day! She is the Queen but her music is NOT as HAWT as it was back in the day. 411, My Life and Mary are her best cds IMO. I do not like her new song that much the one feat drake but she is GIVING it style wise in the video and she looked cute on 106. Her work indeed speaks for itself but her old stuff will ALWAYS be my FAV! MJB is not the best singer (seen her in concert more than I can count) but she can carry a tune and she brings each song to life with her emotions! I was not taking shots at MJB would never do that again she is the QUEEN!
