“The defendants advised Ms. Fenty by e-mail that purchasing a home in Los Angeles ‘would be a good investment’ despite knowing Ms. Fenty was experiencing financial difficulties,” wrote Rihanna’s lawyer Edward Estrada. It was claimed that she lost $9 million, leaving her with just $2 million at the end of 2009.
Rihanna’s lawyers claimed Gounis was aware the house she was buying was rotting from water and mold damage, forcing her to spend more than $1 million on improvements before selling it for nearly $2 million less than what she paid.

Just a reminder for our artist who are in the peak of their career that reckless spending will only leave u broke at the end of the day. Money pent on exotic cars and luxurios lifestyle will make you retire before your time. I remember Daniel Amokachi in the prime of his career had a private jet but he cannot boast of tht anymore. #Livenlearn
