Kim Kardashian may think Kanye West is the biggest artist of the decade, but the most-consistent is Rihanna. During the summer of 2005, Rihanna burst onto the scene with her “Pon De Replay” single and she never looked back. Every year with the exception of 2008 and 2013, Rihanna has dropped a new album.
Making up for her lack of an album release in 2013, Rihanna plans to drop two albums this year. Because she is consistently dropping albums filled with hit singles and certifying platinum, most would assume money is one thing Rihanna has plenty of. But, it turns out, she almost went bankrupt in 2009.
After discovering this, Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her accountant who gave her bad advice. When 2009 began, Rihanna had $11 million in the bank, yet her accountant advised her to buy a $7.5 million home. These bad purchases led to Rihanna only having $2 million in the bank by the time 2009 ended and her tours were losing money during this time, something she was not informed of.
In the end, Rihanna had to sell her home and she lost $2 million in the deal and now she is taking action against her former financial adviser. Since then, Rihanna has gotten a better handle on her money and has a net worth of $43 million.
