Rihanna almost ended up bankrupt

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna almost ended up bankrupt in 2009! The singer says her accountant made so many boneheaded decisions that he blew her fortune and she was “effectively bankrupt” by the end of 2009.

In new legal documents obtained by TMZ, the Umbrella hitmaker claims she had $11 million in cash at the beginning of 2009. Rihanna says the accountant was not on the ball and she was horrified to learn at the end of the year she had $2 million left. To make matters worse, her expenses doubled, which left her on a financial cliff.

Rihanna says her accountant gave her the green light to buy a house priced between $7 and 7 1/2 million, so she took his advice, but ultimately sold the house for a $2 million loss.

She also claims her 2009 tour — Last Girl on Earth Tour — was losing money but the accountant never informed her.

The legal docs were filed in connection with a lawsuit Rihanna filed against her accountant, claiming gross mismanagement.

Rihanna’s net worth is now estimated at $43 million.

Meanwhile, Rihanna wants to spend Valentine’s Day with Drake.

“She’s already in a relationship with him — it’s a friendship, and it’s a real close one,” a source told HollywoodLife.

“They both don’t have Valentines so [them being together] is a high possibility. She wouldn’t mind that at all. What girl wants to be alone on that day when she can be with her good friend, blazing and eating chocolate and sipping on champagne? They’ll probably be together.”

“He’s a gentleman, and you know Rihanna isn’t quite used to all that. She’s used to bad boys, the ones who are hood and swagged out and real ghetto like her ex. But even though she’s use to all that ratchetness, it’s a real treat when she’s with Drake because everything flows well.”
