It was just in 2012 Rihanna sued her former accountant “Mr. Gounis” of Berdon LLP (which we told yous about here). The pop princess was suing for a string of bad financial investments made by the advice and permission of the firm on “Mr. Gounis’” behalf that cost the singer somewhere around the $9 million dollar mark (in a years time-2009 to be exact).
