The Diamond Ball, which consists of a dinner, live auction, and performance by RiRi, will host 600 guests, ranging from entertainment and business executives to celebrities and philanthropists, at The Vineyard, a private 157-acre enclave in Beverly Hills.

 

Rihanna's foundation began after she personally donated $1.75 million to Barbados' Bridgetown's Queen Elizabeth Hospital in honor of her grandmother in 2012.
