The-Dream made millions from Rihanna

The-Dream made $15 million by writing Umbrella for Rihanna.

The producer claims he typically commands a high percentage of royalties for the tracks he writes but theRihannatrack - which was a number one single in fifteen countries - is one of his biggest payouts.

He told BBC Radio1 DJ Tim Westwood: That one, Id say was maybe about 15 million.

However, not all of The-Dreams hits have led to him to big paycheques, as when he made Justin Biebers biggest hit, Baby, he only askedthe recordcompany to pay for his hotel room.

He added: I said to theDef JamA&R, Okay. You pay for my hotel room - I was inNew Yorkand I stay at the Plaza - and Ill write you a record.

And he said, No, were not going to pay for your hotel room, and I said, Okay, well Im not gonna write you a record. So, Iguesseverybody thought about it, then they were like, O.K., Lets pay for it.

The-Dream- real name Terius Nash - has also worked on songs forBeyonce Knowles,Ciara,P. Diddyand Janet Jackson.
