: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Rihanna had a very prosperous New Year's. According to reports, Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska paid her $500,000 to perform at a private New Year's celebration in Moscow.
No word on
@ 2Guttah2Hood,
"why complain, you buying Gucci babe" LOL
Go ahead Rih Rih. Her market value has shot through the roof. Half a million for one appearance??? She is on fire. Don't see her cooling off anytime soon. Maybe that's why Beyonce is "taking a break" for 2008. Can't handle being left in the dust 2 years in a row. LOL
[EXPLETIVE] these fat(Beautiful and thicK LoL) UGLY bithes. Ciara can't sing for [EXPLETIVE] and i don't see a lot people hating on her liek rihanna. She can sing very good, if not why did she have the biggest song of 07.
Look bitches its 08 don't hate, instead loose the unbareable weight and we can mate. Peace.
That bitch had one of the best songs b/c white people will listen to anything black people sell. She's talentless and is making money b/c record labels just want to sell n e thing to put a few g's in their pocket instead of selling REAL music and talented artist. she's no actual performer. When they find another girl that can hold a note and looks better you won't be hearin much from this chick
She is cool these young white girls in the business do not have alot of talent and they are millionaires. So why not let Rhianna make her money while she can. I hope she blows up and becaome a millionaire or billionaire.
But Rhianna child stop putting down your Bajan people. Love where you come from.
Am I the only one who loves reading the comments of the ONLY Rihanna fan on this site (Nataine aka Rihanna's number 1 clit licker). I mean he/she is the ONLY one who thinks Rihanna has talent and is so upset that she couldn't top Beyonce even when Beyonce is on break, that she brings Beyonce's name up even when it has nothing to do with her. Bey's album came out in 2006 and she still sold more and was more successful than Rihanna even though her album is a year and a half old.
I love messing with the Rihanna stan b/c anyone can look at Bey's and Rihanna's numbers and see who is more talented and who is more successful. GGGB was a huge flop! and her forehead is so big that she only got a couple mag covers. Bey has 183 mag covers so I guess she's hotter too. So Nataine go to the left b/c numbers don't lie and maybe you better take a better look at Rihanna's low numbers. LMAO
Yeah you guy's are right...maybe she just "PERFORMED" B==D - - -
lmao....check out the home-made emoticon directly above...hahahahaha!
p.s. whenever rihanna opens her mouth to sing...i swear i see tiny tiny goats having sex in her mouth(sh!t thats what her voice sounds like to me)am i the only one????
LMAO @ haterzsitdown. Nataine, child calm down. If Rihanna was really all that then you wouldn't feel the need to bring Beyonce name up all the time. Are you that upset that Beyonce is way more successful and talented than Rihanna? False, actually irreplacable was the biggest song of 2007 according to Billboard. Umbrella did better in other countries but Irreplacable was a bigger hit and was number 1 longer. As for Rihanna, $500,000 is cheap and the Russians dissed her in this article. Bigger stars like Janet and Beyonce get paid triple that much. And Rihanna stans that's a fact and if you don't believe it then look it up.
According to the article they wrote about her $500,000 is cheap compared to other artists. Some artists get paid 3 mill for performances so she ain't doing nothing big. I doubt anyone would pay even $5 to see her so $500,000 must be cheap to rich people. Besides she's old news anyway. It's 2008 now and people with REAL talent got new albums coming out in '08. Can't wait for Brandy, Mariah, and Beyonce to drop their albums in the '08.
Well from where she came from..that 500 thousand is a lot of money to them..
I still sthink that she's doing great for her age. And there is still more to come in 2008 for this chick!!
I believe in any young black women that came from nothing and she will shine no matter waht, even if she doesn't get the numbers that everyone else get's..I still thinks that she's doing her thing!!
No word on what else the Bajan beauty had to do for the cash...
Mto yall killing me with this shyt right here she performed alot of famous people got paid to be at certain parties on New Years eve. why y'all had to post that pic from a magazine smh making it seem she tricked off for 500,000??? I'm pretty sure she has way more money then that already y'all stay trying to make her look whorish on this site.
@The_deacon..first of all!! I stand behind a young women like Rhianna!! There's a lot of other haters on here that you should be cursing out!! Where the fu88 have you been when I have been defending her ever since I had an account with MTO?? Stay in your lane!! I don't give a rats ass if it was $2 she's getting paper!! I could have meant being that she's a nea artist and a few years back she didn't have this amount of money!! Stay in your lane and watch how you comment to just another fan of Rhianna!! She's getting paper no matter what!! I don't care who's getting more paper then she is!! She only have a few years in this business and wait and see what she's going to be like in a few more years!!
I do not think that she had to do anything besides [perform for the money but I will say, where is the beauty that some people a boasting about. This girl is ugly. she looks like she is missing some chromosones, really.
As long as she is with jay z, she will be popular because Jay z has already sold his soul to the devil and money is his reward. But after jay z, she will end up like Amil-lion.
Now don't nobody jump on my case, listen to jay z's music. the man is anti-christ.
WHY IS CIARA'S NAME COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. CIARA GOT 1 MILLION FOR DOING A JEWISH COMING OUT GIG. BEYONCE GOT 3 MILLION FOR A PRIVATE PARTY, CHRISTINA GOT 3.5 MILLION. THE SAME RUSSIAN BILLIANAIR GAVE GEORGE CLONEY 3.5 FOR AN APPEARANCE AT HIS BDAY LAST YEAR.
I'D SAY RIHANNA IS STILL GETTING ON HER KNEES FOR CHEAP
shut up, MTO. 500,000 is a pretty modest amount for a singing performance, how sad MTO would think she would have to do much else for that amount!
And everyone who is spitefully hating on her here-it's so funny how much you complain how talentless and ugly she is, and yet she's the first headline you seem to run to on this site. As the old saying goes, you protest too much.
To get 500,000 for half hour work is a lot of money when you're just in the game for 30 months. and for those who said she's not selling cd you're wrong she's platium on her lost 2 albums.

Do you, Rihanna ! Why are y'all hatin so hard ? She's making the money; the money's not making her ! Besides, millionares/billionares are known for having top artists perform at private functions/kid's birthday parties/anniversaries, bar mitzvah's, etc, and the artists are paid very well for doing so. There's no reason to believe that she slept with him, but if she did, that's her business.
Bossychick and Haterzsitdown,
You both should probably relax. Yall insist on elevating your blood pressure ANYTIME I complement Rihanna. Complementing Rihanna doesn't automatically insinuate an insult towards Beyonce. And even if I am insulting Beyonce, why do you take it so personally??? Telling the truth of what I think of Rihanna or Beyonce is no indication that I am "mad". What am I mad about? Am I mad that Rihanna won Billboard R&B Female Artist of the Year over Beyonce in December 2006? Or am I mad that Rihanna was nominated for 4 VMAs (winning 2 over Beyonce) and Beyonce was nominated for 7 and won a measley 1, which was not over Rihanna, by the way. No wait, I'm probably mad that Rihanna won Best R&B Female Artist over Beyonce @ the AMAs, right? Or maybe I still haven't gotten over Rihanna winning International Female Artist @ the World Music Awards, is that it? No, I got it!!! I'm mad that Rihanna is nominated for 6 Grammys and Beyonce for 2. LMAO
Yall continue to put you health in jeopardy (high blood pressure can cause heart attacks, aneurysms and strokes) behind some girl that neither one of you know, and if she did, would more than likely care less about yall. The icing on the cake kids, is that with all of your ballistic tantrums, I am still going to pump Rihanna up as she drags Beyonce down. Stop giving me so much power of your emotions. Okay???
I'm continuously ROTFLMAO @ this bitch Nataine. Bitch please ain't nobody blood pressure up. We just love laughing at your delusional ass. Sorry to have to bring you down to earth but even Rihanna admitted that she won those awards because Beyonce album came out almost two years ago. LMAO It's funny how you're the only one who thinks Rihanna is dragging Beyonce down even when Rihanna is admitting herself that Beyonce is better than her. That's why you are so funny to laugh at because Beyonce is Rihanna's idol and Rihanna even said she wants to be her yet you are still delusional.
Hmmm Bday came out over a year ago and STILL sold way more than GGGB which couldn't even go platinum. Irreplacable topped Umbrella as the song of the year. Beyonce won biggest awards at the BET awards and Rihanna wasn't even nominated and Beyonce gets nominated at every award show. And Beyonce won her TENTH grammy last year and got all her nominations last year and is still getting nominated for an album that is over a year old. LMAO And those FEW awards that Rihanna won Beyonce has won already won many times before. Beyonce beat Rihanna in everything in 2006 which is when her album came out. You are so delusional that you believe Bey's album came out in 2007. Wrong, it came out in 2006 but she still gets nominated for old stuff simply because she's Beyonce.
So basically I'll be impressed with Rihanna when she becomes the lead singer of the best selling female group of all time, becomes the first female to win international artist of excellence, sells 130 mill records, wins 150 awards, 10 grammy's, 183 mag covers, 50/11 commercials I mean the list goes on and on. When Rihanna can do even half the shyt that Beyonce has already done and when she can actually sell records for once then you can mention her in the same sentence as Bey. Since I highly doubt people will even remember her name soon, she'll always be the Beyonce-wannabe. Nice try though. LMAO
ROTFLMAO @ Bossychick. Yeah this Nataine bitch is crazy as hell. LMAO I just love messing with her ass since she's all alone in the Rihanna stan club besides Rihanna needs more stans like her and then maybe she could sell some records. LOL Damn Bossychick I think you pretty much covered everything. LOL But don't waste your time responding to this crazy bitch because the fact that she keeps Beyonce's name in her mouth all the time further proves that she's pissed that people love Beyonce and think she is way more talented than Rihanna. You will never see a Beyonce fan constantly bringing up Rihanna on posts that don't have to do with Rihanna simply because Beyonce fans don't worry about Rihanna. The numbers speak for themselves. Besides even with Umbrella Rihanna still couldn't hardly sell records so she'll be back to barbados pretty soon. Oh and judging by these comments the majority believes that Rihanna is talentless and that her 15 mins are up too. She'll be hollering at Ashanti and Mya them pretty soon. LMAO
For all the Rihanna lovers (ones who think she can sing) I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but she can't sing! Anyone can become popular off a song, ie Solja Boy, but she needs vocal/herbal tea or something and nice long strenuous sessions of lessons. She only made it because she had confidence, not because of her voice...and I've been in the booth a few times my self, a studio can make almost anybody's voice sound good, ie Ashanti. Yes I do realize that I am a hater.
LMAO @ Princess. You ain't telling nothing but the truth just like everyone else. I'm not even a Rihanna-hater. But it's a fact that she can't sing everybody says so. I just love messing with delusional Rihanna stans i.e.Nataine. Nothing against Rihanna she's trying to make her money just like everyone else. But anyone with good ears can hear that she is not a good singer and that's not hateing that's telling the truth.
PPL ARE SAYING TO CANT SING MAYBE WE NEED TRY HER HUSTLE BECAUSE SHE IS MAKING MONEY NO MATTER HOW MUCH PPL SAY SHE CANT SING BUT BRITNEY,MADONNA AND A LOT MORE CANT SING BUT THEY MAKE THE MUSIC PPL LIKE AND MAKE IT WORK FOR THEM SHE IS A SISTA AND IM GLAD SHE IS MAKING THE MONEY WHY NOT EVERYONE ELSE IS GETTING AWAY WITH BULL SHI@
It's not as if she gets to keep that whole 500K for herself. The record label gets takings out of that plus dancers have to be paid, make-up artists/stylists etc.
Def Jam isn't gonna write her songs, teach her dance moves, pay for her costumes, fly her out to big countries for free.
They gots to get paid too - and whatever she makes - they take a share.
So I think it's stupid for people to believe that she's walking home with the whole $500,000 in her purse.
I'll tell y'all what's sad. All of us are on here debating on Rihanna's money. What she earned, how she earned it, how much it is, blah blah blah. While we're on a message board picking apart the why's and how's of Rihanna's income, she's out SPENDING IT. Now that I think about it, it's downright pathetic. That girl ain't even that damn talented, and she's still finding ways to make $500,000 for prolly an hour's worth of work. Wow. She's got talent all right, but it ain't singing or dancing or f*cking. It's HUSTLING. Get that money, girl.
Bossychick and Haterzsitdown,
The post is about Rihanna and all yall are talking about is Beyonce statistics and talking about me. Why are you both so angry? I'm not. My goodness, the two of you talk about me more than I talk about Beyonce. Who is the stalker??? LOL
Bossychick, there is something about you that makes me think you do have some sense, Haterzsitdown is a complete hopeless lost cause so I won't exert a drop of energy responding to her, but you on the other hand, I don't think that about. People who loooovvvvve Beyonce truly don't understand how someone else cannot. I am not a Beyonce fan. However, I'm in no way disputing ANY of Beyonce's stats (other than the lie she's sticking to about selling 130 million records). But what you fail to understand is that it wouldn't matter to me if she was the best-selling female artist in history, I'm not a fan. But I am an honest person and I give credit where it's due.
I can't stand Mariah Carey, but I feel any female artist who releases their album the same week as her would be a fool. Why? Because she has starpower and the most loyal fans on the planet. I FEEL Mariah is the only person who can go away for years, comeback, and sell through the roof (well Alicia keeps doing that too).
So as far as Beyonce, I think she is: 1)untalented-can't sing or dance 2)unattractive-I'm not colorstruck so blonde hair, green contacts and bleached-skin doesn't appeal to me 3)selfish-the whole point of the group was to use the girls to get popularity, then leave them in the dust 4)jealous-she won't rest because she doesn't want to see another female artist thriving in the spotlight 5)insecure-she performs naked, gyrating poles, floors and everything standing still because she knows her records would not sell otherwise 6)no self-esteem-willing to stay with Jay-Z as his live-in fornicating partner just so no one else would have him, knowing he openly cheats with Rihanna, but don't wanna hear what the world might say if the relationship ends
Although I don't like her and think of her as all those negative things, like I said, I give credit where credit is due: people do love her (not most, but alot) and she is extremely successful. I have no problem admitting that. After all, it is the truth. I just PERSONALLY don't think highly of her as an artist and especially as a person.
Who are you trying to fool? We only brought up Beyonce's stats because you brought up Rihanna's first and you obviously hate seeing the truth stare you in the face. She has sold 130 mill records just ask the AMA's where she received her honor and where your girl Rihanna was about to cry because she was so proud of her IDOL. And why would I listen to someone who thinks Beyonce can't sing or dance but Rihanna can? Who thinks Rihanna is prettier than Beyonce? ROTFLMBAO Yeah right Jay-Z obviously doesn't think those things because he's still with the better woman and artist and left Rihanna's no talent ass back at Def Jam. And I'm still wondering what proof you have that Jay cheated on Bey with Rihanna? Exactly because Jay is not that stupid. Forehead girl or Beyonce? Hmmmm that sounds like an easy choice to everyone. Jay has said numerous times that he wants to marry Bey some day and not once does he ever mention Rihanna. So please I just love laughing at someone who has a fantasy that will never come true.
But yeah like I said before Beyonce is loved by the majority because she has the numbers to prove it. Look up Rihanna's numbers and compare them with Beyonce's and you will get a good laugh. And Halle Berry and Beyonce are the two most wanted black women in hollywood and Rihanna is never found on the same list as them so I don't know where you get the things you sadly believe in but you seriously need a dose of reality. LOL But I'm done talking to delusional people over a talentless girl of all people because it still doesn't change anything. Have a happy new year!
