Renting a diva can get pricey
Some people dream of having their favourite diva perform at their wedding, birthday bash, bar mitzvah or even office Christmas party. The likelihood of actually securing a star like, say, Beyonce, to make such an appearance is what keeps it from being more than but a pipe dream. But according to OK! Magazine, if the price is right you might have a Grammy winner serenading you as you blow out those candles.
OK! uncovered the fees charged by four super famous female artists for private functions and they're all pretty astronomical. In fourth spot is Rihanna, who earned a reported $500,000 to play a 40-minute show for a Russian billionaire on New Year's Eve.
Third is Mariah Carey, who was paid a cool million to perform in front of the pyramids in Egypt, of all places, for some telecommunications giant. The runner-up is Beyonce, who fetched $2 mill for, again, a New Year's Eve party in St. Bart's thrown by a "Libyan businessman".
So which power-piped singer can demand the most bills for her presence? Christina Aguilera. Yep, she was given a whopping $4 million by a Russian businessman to perform at his wedding in France. If you do the math, all you need is $7.5 million and you can get RiRi, Mimi, Be and Xtina all together at once. (MuchMusic)
