How can celebrities feel safe in their homes?

Last year, it was confirmed that Rihanna’s net worth was $1 billion. Marking her as the sixth highest grossing musician in the world, according to Esquire. There’s no denying that with this level of worth, the singer is at high risk of home invasions, attacks and burglary scandals.
