The 30-year-old Beyonce Knowles has been named the highest earning entertainer in the world who charges per minute for appearing on stage. Beyonce got paid £71,040 per minute for a New Years Eve party in 2010 after performing a five-song set.
In second place was Mariah Carey, who earned £630,000 – or £44,400 per minute – for a four-song set at a similar party held the previous year on the same Caribbean island.
Third highest earner per minute was Kylie Minogue, who commanded £33,000 every sixty seconds – or £2 million for her whole hour set -when she sung at the launch party of the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai, November 2008.
Next was Jennifer Lopez, who received the equivalent of £25,000 a minute from Russian tycoon Andrei Meinichenko to appear at his wife’s birthday party in 2007.
Jennifer narrowly beat The Rolling Stones who rounded out the top five by making £2.2 million in 2002 from an hour and a half set for Texan billionaire David Bonderman’s 60th birthday, the equivalent of £24,242 per minute.
Also the next five highest earners per minute include; Eminem at £16,666 Usher and Christina Aguilera tied in seventh place with £10,441, Rihanna earning £8,333 in ninth place and Cheryl Cole completing the top ten by commanding £4,167 per minute for an hour long private concert in Venice this February.
