Sir Elton John has reportedly been asked to perform at Steve Jobs' daughter’s upcoming wedding for a staggering $1.9 million fee.
The wedding is being planned by Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve’s widow, who is said to be spending $6.5 million on the entire event. The ceremony is set to begin Wednesday in the Cotswolds countryside, according to Daily Mail report.
Laurene, 61, was married to Steve from 1991 until his death in 2011 from pancreatic cancer at age 56. Their daughter Eve, 27, is marrying 26-year-old British Olympic showjumper Harry Charles. The couple began dating in 2022 and announced their engagement in September 2024.
