Tense international situation, mutual sanctions from the West and the Russian Federation, fluctuations in foreign exchange market- these, as well as many other factors, served as reasons for the search for additional sources of income among ordinary people who want to ensure stability at least in their wallets.

And if some of us have encountered the above situation first-hand, then how are things going with the Russian elite, in particular show business stars? The question remains open. But we will still find an answer to it in order to figure out who the crisis has benefited and who it has harmed.

How much do domestic stars earn?

According to materials from the organizer of concert events “Ru-concert” requests Russian performers the first echelon in 2015 increased by 1.5-3 times (20-100 thousand USD). By the way, few of the celebrities who are on the Olympus of national fame have lost due to exchange rate differences, because almost everyone prefers to receive fees in foreign currency.

Only a tiny part of the population acts as an exception. total number top stars: Oleg Gazmanov, the Lyube group, Nadezhda Babkina and others.

As for the middle price category, here the market conditions have developed in a radically opposite way. For example, participants in numerous music shows on federal TV, including Pierre Narcisse, Alexander Kireev, Anton Zatsepin and Alina Chuvashova, ask for minimal money by today's standards - from 50 thousand rubles. For comparison, a year earlier this amount was equal to 200 thousand rubles.

The most expensive performers

Legends have been made about how much Philip Kirkorov earns for decades. This year, the king of pop music is not slowing down, sharing the palm of the highest paid singers along with Grigory Leps, Leonid Agutin and Stas Mikhailov. The fees for each of them are €90-100 thousand for 1 hour of a corporate event. We suggest comparing this with.

Nikolai Baskov estimates his performances a little less - 80-85 thousand. e., and behind him comes Valery Meladze with 55 thousand. e.

Dima Bilan, Vitas and Verka Serduchka will ask you for €40 thousand, and the public’s favorite Ivan Dorn is about €35 thousand and exactly the same amount for “Mr. Black Star" - Timur Yunusov, aka Timati. We have a separate section on Timati’s fees.

Salaries of popular singers

The fair half of the stars of Russian show business have hopelessly inferior financial appetites to their colleagues in the person of Kirkorov, Mikhailov, Leps and Agutin. Only the prima donna of the Russian stage can compete with them with no less stunning requests of €70 thousand. But Alla Pugacheva herself lately Quite rarely pampers his fans even at corporate events ( all hope for).

• L. Vaikule and T. Gverdtsiteli – 40-50;
• Elka and T. Povaliy, Ani Lorak, V. Brezhnev - no more than 35;
• Maxim, A. Semenovich, A. Varum, Nyusha, Polina Gagarina - from 20;
• S. Loboda, Natalie, I. Bilyk – 15-20.

Musical groups

One of the most popular duets, “Potap and Nastya Kamensky,” churns out hits like hot cakes. To rock with them live to the fresh track “Bumdiggibay” you will have to fork out 45 thousand. e., which is comparable to . For the same money you can give preference to the shocking Sergei Shnurov and the Leningrad group, and saving 5,000 USD. e. opt for the no less eccentric Diana Arbenina, accompanied by the “Night Snipers”.

Among others (thousand euros):

• “Mumiy Troll”, “Bi-2” – from 40;
• “Beasts” and “A-studio” – 30;
• “Silver”, “Tea”, “Boombox” – from 20;
• “Degrees” and the updated composition of “VIA Gra” – 10-20.

Price list for services of leading show programs

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to invite a popular presenter to a corporate event? In fact, this is an unaffordable luxury for many, even far from poor, customers. For example, the record holders in this market segment are considered to be Ivan Urgant and Maxim Galkin, who will cost a pretty penny for as much as €50 thousand.

At the same time, alternative options with M. Galustyan, S. Svetlakov, G. Martirosyan, K. Sobchak, I. Vernik, G. Kharlamov and T. Batrutdinov will cost €20-40 thousand.

Published a ranking of the highest paid singers in the world. The first place on the list was taken by the pop singer, who rose by as many as eight positions over the year. An impressive contribution to the rapid rise of the 34-year-old American was made by her “Witness” concert tour, which included 80 performances. In addition, the artist, whose income was $83 million, served on the jury of the American Idol television show on.

Second place in the ranking went to 28-year-old Taylor Swift, who earned $80 million. In November 2017, the singer released her album “Reputation,” which sold 2 million copies worldwide in the first week after its release. The only reason, which did not allow the artist to top the list was that most of her tour, dedicated to the release of the new record, took place outside the completed Forbes competition “season”.

The top three was completed by 37-year-old Beyoncé, who showed an income of $60 million. According to the source,

The star singer spent most of the reporting period quite modestly, devoting herself to raising newborn twins and caring for rapper Jay-Z, her husband. At the same time, closer to summer, Beyoncé finally came out of hibernation, delighting fans with an innovative performance at the Coachella festival, as well as a joint album with her husband, “Everything Is Love.”

Right behind the R&B singer is pop-rock singer Pink, who earned $52 million. The bulk of her income (the artist’s real name) came from her tour, organized on the occasion of the release of the album “Beautiful Trauma.” It is noteworthy that the grandiose tour of the 39-year-old American will end only in October next year, and therefore next year Forbes ranking it will probably be quite high.

The last representative of the top 5 was the outrageous singer, who recently has every right to call herself a real actress. The film was released in 2018 "A Star Is Born", the star's directorial debut "Bachelor Party in Vegas", which has already grossed almost $350 million worldwide. In the remake of the popular musical of the 1930s, the singer, as you might guess, played the main role.

Sixth, in turn, was the 49-year-old, whose income amounted to $47 million. Compared to the previous year, the singer’s earnings increased by 24 percent. Not the most last role This rise was fueled by the release of the hit single “Dinero,” which the Bronx native recorded with DJ Khalid and rap star Cardi B.

Seventh place was taken by the R&B singer, who earned $37.5 million. Unlike many other neighbors on the list, the 30-year-old singer enriched herself not through multiple performances, but thanks to her own lines of lingerie and cosmetics.

The eighth position remained with the German singer Russian origin Helena Fischer - in a year, a native of Krasnoyarsk replenished her personal account by $32 million, having skated an incredibly successful financial tour.

The ninth was the legendary Canadian Celine Dion, who celebrated her 50th birthday this year. Performer of the immortal hit from "Titanic" earned $31 million, largely thanks to touring.

In 2017, Alla Pugacheva is still the highest paid Russian pop star.

New Year holidays This is the time of corporate events to which stars are invited. The most popular stars receive such sums during this period that they may not work for the next few months.

The day before, experts calculated what fees Russian pop stars receive for one performance at a corporate event and compiled a list of the TOP 10 highest paid artists in Russian show business in 2017.

As a result, she expectedly ended up in first place with a fee of $350 thousand. In 2010, Pugacheva stopped touring and since then has not given a single solo concert, but has not retired from active creative activity: she often takes part in large quantities collected concerts and television shows, and also regularly releases new songs.

In second place, a rather controversial character on the Russian stage, leads corporate events for $100 thousand.

Closes the top three - $100 thousand. Soviet and Russian singer Georgian origin, composer, producer, member of the International Union of Pop Artists. Leps is still one of the most popular and most invited artists, he has a lot of work during the New Year holidays.

He took fourth place - $75 thousand. The most popular singer Russian stage, but the price tag for his performances is appropriate. It is noted that the artist almost doubled the price for his corporate performance, but he is still often “booked.”

Fifth place: Soviet and Russian rock band "Chaif" - from $70 thousand.

In sixth place was the Soviet and Russian pop singer, producer and TV presenter of Georgian origin - from $50 thousand.

In seventh place alternative rock band, formed in 1988 "Bi-2" - from $40 thousand.

In eighth place is Ukrainian and Russian pop singer, actress, TV presenter, former member pop groups" VIA Gra" – from $40 thousand.

In ninth place Russian singer, composer, actress, model. Representative of Russia at music competition Eurovision 2015 – from $40 thousand.

And the TOP 10 is completed by a Russian singer, theater, film and voice actor, TV presenter, former member Smash groups – from $40 thousand.

This selection was not compiled at random: the names of all 7 musicians (and their groups) more than once or even twice were included in the final Forbes lists of the TOP record holders for the amount of honestly earned fees per year. Whose concert ticket would you also spare money for?

Elton John

Sir Elton John has sold 250 million records worldwide in the last 30 years and shows no signs of slowing down. The British solo artist is ranked 49th on the list greatest performers according to the magazine Rolling Stone. We assume that this year the budget of the Commander of the Order of the British Empire will receive another replenishment. Surely, in connection with the 20th anniversary of the death of the Princess of Wales, the album Candle in the Wind 1997 - an “upgrade” of the studio version of Candle in the Wind, dedicated to Elton’s close friend Diana - will again sound in the hearts and speakers of mobile devices of Lady Di’s fans. This means that a reissue and a jump in sales are very likely. Let us remember that at one time the album sold 37 million copies and it was Elton John who sang the song of the same name at the funeral ceremony in Westminster Abbey (and for it he received a Grammy as best pop artist).

They took place as part of The Circle World Tour, which started after the release of the eleventh in November 2009 album The Circle (by the way, it instantly took first place on Billboard magazine's top 200 chart as the most popular and best-selling disc in the USA). Having played 74 shows, the group earned more than $200 million. Naturally, after that the Bon Jovi group topped the list of the most successful touring acts.

Paul McCartney

With its Guinness World Record holder status as the most... successful musician the ex-Beatle could easily rest on the well-deserved laurels of his victories - they could easily provide him with a comfortable old age. But that's definitely not the 16-time Grammy Award winner's path. Surprisingly, the 2000s became a time of renewal and revival for McCartney, who had crossed the 60-year mark. He received a knighthood for his contribution to the development of music, an Oscar nomination for the soundtrack to Vanilla Sky, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the love of the public. Even after celebrating his 70th birthday, Sir Paul (now 75 years old) continues to actively tour. Of course, the years take their toll: due to an “unknown virus” three years ago, the singer was forced to cancel planned large-scale concerts in Japan. However, this hardly lightened his wallet: a little earlier, the musician, having performed about 30 solo shows in 12 months, collected $130 million at the box office.

American rap artist Shawn Corey Carter may well have become a billionaire by now: at least five years ago, his fortune was estimated at $500 million. Creative activity Jay-Z deserves respect: 13 of his albums rose to the top of the Billboard chart, and this is still, whatever one may say, the first place out of two hundred positions. However, the rapper’s income is regularly replenished not only (and not so much) by concerts: he is an active businessman (owns a record label, a basketball club and a clothing line), as well as the husband of Beyoncé, whose contribution to the family treasury, if not exceeds his own, then certainly compare with him.

Sales of Muse's seven studio and four live albums have exceeded $15 million. After the release of the film Twilight in 2008, the soundtrack of which included the song Supermassive Black Hole from the album Black Holes and Revelations (2006), the group collected a record $76 in their homeland in Britain million, having played 63 shows. The band's bassist Chris Wolstenholme then said: "You have to take every opportunity (obviously to make extra money - editor's note), but you have to be willing to sell your soul in doing so." Let's forgive the musician for his self-interest: unlike his colleagues in the band, he has six shops (the musician actually has six children with his wife Kelly - editor's note), and this is a big responsibility.
