In a wedding that will reportedly cost $100 million according to a Bloomberg report, here’s how much Beyonce was paid for a private concert during Isha Ambani’s pre-wedding celebrations.

According to Time magazine, the singer charged more than $3 million for performing at this year’s Coachella festival, but organisers had previously hinted that headliners could charge close to $4 million per gig. A New Yorker profile of Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett said, “the headliners (such as) Radiohead, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar, respectively... would receive between three and four million dollars for playing.”

According to Bustle, Beyonce isn’t the most expensive performer money can buy. That honour goes to Jennifer Lopez, who can charge up to $5 million (Rs 35 crore) per performance. Billboard previously reported that a Texas billionaire paid the Rolling Stones $7 million to perform for an hour at his 60th birthday party. Christina Aguilera, according to Radar Online, was paid $1 million for a Halloween party in 2010. Mariah Carey charges the same amount, according to Glamour UK. Meanwhile, Cher charges $1.5 million, according to AOL, and Beyonce’s husband, rapper Jay Z demands $1 million, according to Contact Music.

Isha will marry Anand Piramal - a childhood friend and son of billionaire Ajay Piramal - on December 12 at her family home, the billion-dollar Antilia in Mumbai.
