Rihanna reportedly renting out her Beverly Hills mansion for R1.1m a month
In more celebrity news, Briefly News previously reported that US singer Rihanna is reportedly renting out her stunning Beverly Hills mansion, but enthusiasts will have to dig deep for a chance to live in her home.
The artist has been spending too much time in New York with her lover ASAP Rocky lately and even recorded a music video together. According to TMZ, the singer is offering her California based mansion at R1.1 million a month to anyone who can afford it.
The 7, 628 square-feet house is said to have five bedrooms and a stunning pool, spa, fire pit and an open-air courtyard and seven bathrooms.
The mansion was originally built in the 1930s in a secluded area with neighbours such as Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey and Madonna, according to Daily Mail.
Rihanna is said to have purchased the house in late 2020 for a whopping R186 billion, and it is not clear if she's ever lived in it. It is also her second home in the area.
This is not the first time the 33-year-old star has rented homes, but it is said to be the most expensive one yet.
