FIRST OF ALL, there is nothing wrong with homeownership. I wish more people were afforded the opportunity to purchase a home. We ALL should strive to OWN a home rather than renting. Homeownership is an INVESTMENT on your future. The only reality that comes with homeownership is you have to MANAGE your finances FIRST and FOREMOST. The biggest mistakes our young men and women do is give up control and access to their finances to OTHER people who do NOT always have their best interests at heart. The reality is, is that often times, its the lawyers and accountants who are "skimming" these young men and women blind!!!! The reason is, our young men and women are NOT educated on how to manage their millions. Majority of them are too young and NEVER been exposed or taught HOW to manage their finances. I mean just think about it. One minute your making $500 or more every two weeks if that, AND then all of a sudden your making $100s of thousands of dollars in one week or sometimes in ONE DAY!!!! That's mind boggling and very, very stressful. Most young men and women LOSE THEIR FREAKING MINDS!!! Can you blame them? NO one has taught them HOW to manage their money. When you're famous everyone WANTS A PIECE OF YOU!!! Everyone is your friend when the money is flowing.... everyone is a "kiss ass" and "suck up" your "Yes man or woman"..... that's the UGLY NATURE OF THE FAME BUSINESS!!! Bottom line. I just wish and hope that our young men and women coming up the ranks THINK LONG and HARD about protecting their MONEY! It's okay to say "HELL NO" you're not getting access to MY MONEY!!! It's okay to tell family members, "HE'LL NO" you're not going to use and abuse me now because I'm famous. It's okay to tell those closest to you that although you will "help them out" you will NOT be used as a cash machine while they all sit back and do nothing, or bring NOTHING to the table. More times than not, family members are your WORST enemies when you become famous. They start feeling themselves and thinking you "OWE" them everything under the son. This includes parents too! Some parents get downright GREEDY and feel they are entitled to everything their son or daughter has made!!! Some parents even go as far in thinking they are the ones who are famous, NOT!!! So I'm happy for anyone who is blessed with with opportunity to buy a home, be it a home worth $100,000 or a home worth $25 million or more. Homeownership is ALWAYS GOOD THING. I wish more people were blessed to do so. We should never loose sight that with everything blessing comes a certain level of responsiblity and good'ole common sense. Often times we loose our minds and become a materialistic "monster" in thinking that spending ALL our money will somehow make us happy and wipe away all our problems. NOT!!! Money is the root of ALL evil. If you allow it to control you, it will DESTROY YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND YOU! Money makes people lose their minds to the point of suicides, drugs, alcohol and even MURDER!!! So like my momma always use to say. Be careful what you ask for....because you may just get is and MORE than you ever bargained for!!!

uhm ithnk it a great beautiful home and all of yall sayn she dnt need this big house she is wastin money wht celebrity doesnt have a big house and if not more thn one some celebrity have like five house in the same state it her moneyshe can do whtever she want wht it................ and for all of u sayin she is whorin around no tht yall she happen to have a carrer as u can see if tht yall pay yall cheap ass apartment say so but dnt blame it on her

too bad she didn't buy a two million dollar house and donate the rest to something good after all how much is she really home she's just a greedy talentless pig like everyone else and people that buy into all of this mainstream might as well be retarted

first off let me start off by saying i love my sistahs and i'm not trying to negative at all but damn! that's too much money right about now to be dropping for anything and it's just plain distasteful. i can honestly say if i had money i would not flaunt it in times like these. you would think these young people would be learning somthing from everyting that we're going through right now. why would you buy a 11 mil dollar home right now? she could live just a plush in a 4 mil dollar home. i hope the irs don't call next year and tell her she owes 10 mil becaue she's going to be force to sell that house at a major loss just like how many other young dumb black celebrities are doing right about now?

the title says 11 million DOLLARS and the news print say 7 million POUNDS

Waste of money!!! Better used for research for cures or homelessness...a BIG waste.

If Rihanna paid $11M or $7M for this house in 2009, she has already lost considerable money on the property, as the value of the house now is $2.5M. I could post the address of this property but if Rihanna has bought the house, I will respect her privacy and not post the address. Whoever owned the property prior to the selling it in 2009 only paid $2.6M for it three years prior to the sale. The house structure is 46yrs old and it is not unusual for buyers to gut out the interior and remodel the inside to their style. The previous owners must have done a lot of visual and ornament work to increase the value to $11-7 million in 2009. These pictures show the property interior when the house was placed on the market for sale. If anyone is associated with a realtor or know how to search the LA/Beverly Hills property records for property on market for sale, can pull up this property. Media love to put an extra spin on the truth.

its not rihannas fault that the mostsophisticated & top magazines in the world wants her on their covers. it does not matter how people talk about her hair, head, voice, body, stage persent none of that bullmean a darn thing to the people with $$$$ who love rihanna including her fans/stans around the world.

I wasn't expecting something so sparse. Actually, because it is Rihanna, I was expecting the walls to be covered in garish naked pictures of her. That seems to be all she is about these days. Seriously, where's her stuff?

I think the house is worth 11 million not that she paid that amount. I can't see her spending that amount when she's hardly going to be there.

Yahsss, let the Rihanna haters come out and bash those keyboards showing how much Rih owns your fucking feeble minds!

I agree with X, Y and Z! The delusional Rihanna stans are always upset at the truth! Rihanna is a fraud whose "sympathy card" has expired! Gee, I wonder what the next JayZ generated "oh poor me" scheme will be? I'm sure the current success of Chris has JayZ seeing red again!

OK, WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. SHE DONT EVEN HAVE CHILDREN, SO UNPRACTICAL. WHY NOT BUY A HOME IN BARBADOS SINCE SHE CLAIMS SHE IS ALWAYS HOME SICK. 7 MILLION ON A HOUSE U CANT EVEN ENJOY CAUSE U ARE ON TOUR FOR 2YRS??? KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES'S

Am I the only one that noticed the article said "her current squeeze Justin Timberlake" When did they state dating? How old is this article Natasha?

Did anyone fail to notice that the pool in the first picture is empty and round and the house is grey and the pool in the "detailed" pictures the pool is full, rectangular and the house is brown. I don't think that's her house. Not being a hater but the facts/pictures don't lie. Even the fact that it says she's entertaining Justin Timberlake sounds off. XYZ might be right on this one...this is probably NOT her house. Can she afford a house like this? Maybe? But for someone who is never home a home this size isn't a wise investment considering how much it cost to keep it up. It would be a waste of money considering there are other investments she can make with her money that would do more for her in this current economy.

Nice house, not over the top. Not buying the Justin Timberlake tidbit in the story, though....

Niceeee..*in my Fabulous voice*...it's a nice crib and yes i'm not jealous cause the insurance, property tax, mortgage and grounds maintainance on that home must be a bitch!
