Rihanna Announces New Book

While Rihanna finishes up her long-awaited, over due album, she is tiding fans over with another release — her first book. According to a Phaidon, which will drop the book on October 10, the 504-page visual autobiography will include over 1,000 photographs of her “life as a musician, performer, designer, and entrepreneur” many which have never been seen.

“I’m very grateful to the talented photographers and artists who contributed. We’ve been working on the book for over five years, and I’m really happy to be able to finally share it with everybody,” Rihanna said in a statement. 

Last month, Cardi B reportedly paid $111K for a signed copy during a charity auction at Rihanna’s annual Diamond Ball, which benefits her Clara Lionel Foundation that funds education and emergency response programs around the world. While it seems like a small price to pay for an intimate look into the multi-talented star’s life, fans can get their own signed copy for $5,500.
