Rihanna’s wins come in stunning, rapid succession. Just a few days after the March 26 release of her latest single, “Bitch Better Have My Money,” she enjoyed another success: Home, the animated DreamWorks film for which she voices the adorable protagonist, had an impressive $54 million opening weekend. To be 2015 Rihanna is to twerk on top of the world and know you climbed your way there with the odds (and the cash) stacked against you.
