Celebrities are getting hit with tax liens every other day, but who knew that Rihanna was facing financial difficulties?
The pop star, seen here in a pair of daisy dukes leaving dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica with her mom, recently revealed that due to her accountant mismanaging her funds, she was left effectively bankrupt in 2009. In recent court documents, Rih Rih claimed at the beginning of 2009, she had $11M, but by the end of the same year, she was left with just $2M.
Since Rihanna’s celebrity grew tremendously around that time due to the release of her Rated R album and tour, her expenses doubled which left her in a financial mess. In the legal documents filed against her accountant, the singer, who was recently spotted partying with Drake, claims that the accountant gave her the green light to buy a house priced between $7 and 7.5 million, so she pursued it.
The lawsuit also entails that Rih’s Last Girl On Earth tour was losing money, but her accountant never told her about it. Rihanna is currently suing her accountant for gross mismanagement.
But don’t feel bad for Rih Rih, within the past five years, she has been able to bounce back tremendously. The singer is now worth over $43M. And it’s not even her birthday!
