I don't want to sound biased since I am a fan of Rihanna, she's not perfect, but she's kept herself together far better than a lot of others.She does seem to have kept it together admirably.
Celebrities aren't crazy -people-, they're normal people with crazy bank accounts and crazy lives. Hand me that much cash...subject me to that level of scrutinty...and watch how quickly I circle the batshit drain. I;d demand a cannon that fired boxes of kittens and provide a public demonstration of the tech in the parking lot of the local vietnamese restaurant...just because I was bored and had run out of "normal" shit to do and spend my money on.
That's the way this always goes. We hear about them initially, they become celebrities. Then it goes dark for awhile...and the next time we hear about them it's positively fucking tragic. In the interim...thy ran out of shit to do but didn't run out of money or time.
"OMG, did you hear about rhythm...remember last year when he was so normal, he won the lotto...I heard he built a Kitty Kannon™ and some of the cats went through a semi window on i-64 - there was a huge pileup...now he's in prison and the legal defense took every penny he had left...so sad...I heard he even found jesus in there...so I guess that's where ole JC was hiding all this time!"
Nah, you're exagerating. You'd do the same thing I would. You'd be concerned with becoming/remaining the best at what you did that got you all rich and famous to begin with, and then you'd slowly retire with a plan in mind to take care of your public life as well as make time for a private one.
