Multiple reports have calculated how much Beyonce charges for private appearances, and the sum is pegged to between $3 and $4 million. That’s Rs 21-28 crore.
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.”
Beyonce was the highest earning woman in the music industry in 2017, with earnings exceeding $105 million.
Bloomberg recently reported that billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani shelled out over $100 million for his daughter’s wedding parties, which saw several Indian and international celebrities, such as actors Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh; cricketer Sachin Tendulkar; and politician Hillary Clinton in attendance.
Fans are wondering how rich you have to be able to book Beyonce at your wedding and cracking jokes about their own sorry state when compared to the Ambanis.

You know your dad is rich when he can afford to hire Beyonce to sing at your PRE-wedding party. What do you do for the actual wedding -- pay someone to resurrect John Lennon? https://t.co/lc1AbIFyjq

I don't know why some idiots have a problem with the Ambanis calling Beyonce to dance at the wedding.

If I were a wealthy self-made serial entrepreneur who's also on the Fortune's Most Powerful People list, I would dance at Ambani's wedding too.

A report says the wedding cost the Ambanis about $100 million which roughly translates to Rs 722 crore. “To put the figure in perspective, Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding 37 years ago reportedly cost $110 million in today’s dollars,” the report read.
