Rihanna’s $6M Performance at Ambani Bash Draws Flak

Rihanna faced criticism for a “lazy” 90-minute performance at Anant Ambani’s bash, despite receiving $6 million.

The event, a $120+ million, three-day celebration in Jamnagar, India, drew high-profile guests like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

A critic labeled the singer a “scammer” for her lackluster performance of hits like “Umbrella” and “Diamonds.”

Despite the backlash, Rihanna expressed her well-wishes to the couple on stage. However, she left the event less than 24 hours after her performance.

Rihanna’s $6 million event payment sparked social media debate, with one user preferring Elton John or The Rolling Stones for that price.

Another commenter speculated on the tax implications of Rihanna’s fee, suggesting that after federal and California income taxes, she would be left with around $3 million.

They also mentioned the possibility of celebrities like Rihanna using non-profit organizations to potentially avoid taxes, although this claim is speculative and not substantiated by evidence.

Rihanna has previously faced financial challenges, including a lawsuit against her former accountants for mismanagement, which resulted in a tax audit and a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Rihanna overcame challenges and amassed a $1.7 billion net worth through music and businesses, including Fenty Beauty and LVMH.
