Rihanna goes on shopping spree after obtaining billionaire status
That’s how she balls out.
Rihanna was spotted dropping some serious dough while on a shopping spree in New York City Wednesday, the same day Forbes confirmed she is a member of the billionaires’ club.
The “Diamonds” singer, 33, and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, first hit up a hat store called Hat Club in NoHo, where we’re told RiRi picked up an accessory for her beau.
The stylish duo were dressed to the nines in fashionable streetwear during their day out.
Rihanna wore a pink furry hat, ripped denim shorts, a tube top and white strappy heels.
Meanwhile, Rocky, 32, opted for an all-black look with a matching cap and stark-white sneakers.
After leaving the hat shop, the pair stopped at Forbidden Planet, a store that sells cult sci-fi books, comics, collectibles, action figures and toys.
Rihanna’s security guards were said to have walked out with five bags of vintage toys from the shop.
When asked by a paparazzo how it felt to be the “richest female musician,” Rihanna responded, “God is good.” Forbes estimated her net worth to be $1.7 billion — most of it due to her companies Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty.
After Rocky bought a poster from a nearby shop, the couple took a break from their shopping trip to eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant called Wo Hop in Chinatown.
While being a billionaire may have its perks — like an unlimited spending spree — it still might not get you your seat of choice at a local Chinese eatery.
It appears the owner of Wo Hop didn’t recognize Rihanna and Rocky, as we hear they told the stars to “eat outside” because the restaurant’s downstairs area was “full.”
It was not the first time the a New York establishment has had a slip-up when meeting the “Umbrella” singer. In June, Rihanna was reportedly denied entry into a Brooklyn bar called Barcade because she forgot her ID.
This time, however, the musicians were able to enjoy their meals at Wo Hop — even though they were told where to sit.
Afterwards, they went over to the Maria Tash luxury jewelry store, where we’re told they got some piercings.
They concluded their night in NYC with a show at the Roxy in Tribeca.
The “Work” singer and Rocky have been nearly inseparable ever since news broke of their relationship in November 2020.
