That being said, RiRi is a superstar that heavily relies on security to get her from A to B, whether she’s out to dinner with friends or touring the world. Rihanna’s annual protection costs will likely come in at around $500,000, if not more. Even if she slips out to Target, she won’t be alone.
Everyone knows who Rihanna is, even if they don’t listen to her music. With that being said, it’s not easy for RiRi to travel incognito, even if she wants to shop the clearance section like the rest of us mere mortals. For someone this famous, bodyguards are just part of the package.
