The-Dream Reveals He Made $15 Million For Writing Rihanna's "Umbrella"

Though singer-songwriter The-Dream has had a successful solo career, perhaps his most well-known achievements are the hits he's penned for others.
In an interview with Tim Westwood, The-Dream discussed what he pocketed for one of the biggest his he ever wrote: Rihanna's "Umbrella."
"Around, like...fifteen [million]," he explained. "I was just trying to pay the bills."
The-Dream also spoke about Justin Bieber's smash hit "Baby," which he also wrote. "I said [to the Def Jam A&R], 'Okay. You pay for my hotel room - I was in New York and I stay at the Plaza - and I'll write you a record.' And he said, 'No, we're not going to pay for you hotel room,' and I said, 'Okay, well I'm not gonna write you a record.' So, I guess everybody thought about it, and was like, 'Let's pay for it.'"

It'd be interesting to find out how much he really pocketed from that hit, once taxes, rent, and creditors were paid back
