It’s been a very good week for Rihanna, as she celebrates not only her first Easter as a mother, but picking up Matthew Perry’s old penthouse for a steal

There is a latin phrase that goes “omne trium perfectum,” which in lehman's terms means the rule of three; it’s an idea that things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number of things. Which is quite the apt description for the week that Rihanna is having, with three pieces of news that just make her 2023 just that little bit more sweeter.

With Easter 2023 having come and gone, it marked the first time that Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, celebrated being parents during the brief holiday respite. She shared a number of candid photos on her Instagram account showing their son celebrating Easter with a pair of bunny rabbit ears and what looked like embarking on a traditional Easter egg hunt in their $13.8 million farmhouse in Beverly Hills.

This week it was also revealed that Rihanna had just bought a brand new Los Angeles penthouse for a reported $21m USD (£16.9m). The 40th-floor penthouse in the same building she currently owns a three-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home in, and features four bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four terraces and also offers picturesque panoramic views of the city – stretching from the DTLA skyline to the Pacific Ocean.

For additional safety, the property boasts around-the-clock concierge services and strict security measures and had a number of high-profile occupiers previously - you can count former Friends actor Matthew Perry as the biggest name that once lived in the penthouse apartment, that Rihanna’s team manage to haggle down from an asking price that initially was $28million.

To top her week off so far, Rihanna can also now claim that she is the Queen of Twitter, having surpassed Katy Perry as the most followed female on the social media platform. Rihanna’s follower count according to Social Blade stands at 108,278,326 followers, eclipsing Kate Perry’s number at 108,257,343 followers. She’s fourth overall for the most followed Twitter user on the platform, and a mere 4,871,190 followers away from reaching the third position, currently occupied by Justin Bieber

So if ever there was a time to start following Rihanna on Twitter and help bolster those numbers ever further, this week might be the week. Perhaps with all this good fortune, Rihanna might be interested in playing the lottery?
