Rihanna – AKA queen entrepreneur – is releasing her first visual autobiography, a 504-page coffee table book recounting her childhood, BTS moments and previously-unseen footage. The book will be released by global publisher Phaidon.

“Over 5 years in the making… happy to finally share this collection of incredible memories,” she announced on the ‘gram. “Thank you to all of the photographers and artists that contributed and to @phaidonsnaps for working with me to publish my first piece of art in a new industry!”

“From her Barbados childhood to her worldwide tours, from iconic fashion moments to private time with friends and family,” the offical website reads, “the book showcases intimate photographs of her life as an artist, performer, designer, and entrepreneur.” I’M CRYING ALREADY.
The book comes in 5 different editions, ranging from the regular copy ($230) to the ‘ultra luxury supreme copy’ (price N/A, but Cardi B bid over $100,000 USD for one of the 10 exisiting copies, which comes with a fucking marble pedestal).
The ‘luxury supreme copy’ is the 4th most-spenny copy, which features RiRi’s signature, a custom tabletop bookstand and an $8,000 price tag. It’s already sold out, because Rihanna Navy doesn’t fuck around.
The book looks incredible – don’t get me wrong – but the prices have definitely left a lot of Twitter feeling a certain type of way.
