Rihanna is renting out her L.A. mansion for a HUGE amount
Anyone got some spare cash?
Rihanna has decided to put her stunning Hollywood Hills mansion up for rent, after she failed to sell the property last year for $7.5million (£6million).
If you wanted to rent the property, you'd be getting six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a cinema room and a swimming pool! There's even a special guesthouse, which is positioned above the detached, two-car garage.
But, you'll need to part with a cool $35,000 (£28,000) a month if you want it!
