Rihanna allegedly spent $160,000 on a portrait of Marilyn Monroe, according to The Sun.

The pop star commissioned a British artist to create picture of the blonde bombshell using 65,000 Swarovski crystals, then had the artwork shipped to Beverly Hills.

Claire Milner, the artist who created the five sq ft portrait, told The Sun: "I tried to show the glitter of the public life and the sadness in Marilyn's eyes. Because of who Rihanna is everything had to be done through her interior decorators. But they told me afterwards that she loved it."

It took Milner four months to create the image.
