Simpsons creator buys a home and Rhianna sues her Realtor

The daddy of the Simpsons cartoon has moved up and into an $11,650,000 estate with his new bride. I’m not talking about Homer, I’m speaking of Matt Groening the man who started The Simpsons, and the famed night time cartoon will soon start off it’s 23rd season. So, it’s no doubt he can afford the 5 bedroom and 7.5 bathrooms estate in Santa Monica. He also owns a home in Malibu. And all this from a little man he created named Bart…..

Rhianna is suing her Realtor! No only her Realtor, but the former owner of her 6.9 Million dollar home, as well as the engineer and the inspection company! She bought the home in 2009 and it seems the extensively renovated home leaks! After a downpour in Jan 2010 the grammy winning singer found her home flooded. The lawsuit filed also claims her buyers agent did not provide her with previous sales from the area to support the price she ultimately paid. She is seeking compensation for the issues.
