People magazine is reporting the outrageous figure Jennifer Lopez earned for just 40 minutes of work.
Apparently some Russian billionaire paid $1.2 million dollars for Jennifer Lopez to sing at a birthday celebration for himself and his wife.
Then on top of the $1.2 million dollars, he paid an additional $800,000 to fly the singer, her husband Marc Anthony and their entourage from the U.S. to his 27-acre estate in Surrey, England, and put them up at the Mandarin Oriental in London.
Wowzers!
Jenny has come a long way from the block. I mean, chica ain't gonna be on the 6 train no time soon.
My question is... Is Jennifer Lopez worth $2 million for just 40 minutes worth of work?
But wait... there's more!
Dude also paid Christina Aguilera $4 million dollars to sing at his wedding.
JUST ONE SONG Y'ALL!
Seems like Jenny was underpaid.
And speaking of working hard for the money.... DING!
Check out the new Samsung commercial (the sponsor of her tour).
she's feeling herself
Damn... a whole bunch of people just made a heap of money!
Umm okay we are counting folks money today. Considering that last week Beyonce was the top grossing tour according to Pollstar.com since her Japanese and Aust. legs of her tour had all sold out you should add that to the pot.
Soulful you want to talk about Janet Jackson single she got coming out this summer on Def Jam on the Rush Hour 3 sdtrk???
LOLOL @ RERE-
Thanks for both those.
Hey don't mention it, I always have plenty to talk about but since your blog is normally filled with slick jabs I just read and keep it moving. I have read several of your magazine articles that you have written.
Jlo? Sing? Umm ok... I aint hatin.. but come on... $1.2 mil for JLO to sing live?
Oh man - J-Lo 1.2 mill - Xtina 4 mill - damn - I ain't mad at that.
I can even comment on Dingy!
But I guess those girls are worth what they paid if you got extra cheese laying around to spend on that ish - then I would go for a lil more unexpected excitement like maybe a Whitney & Bobby Duo...
Ahhh shit my Mastercard commercial....
J-Lo performs - cost 1.2 million dollars
Xtina belts out a tune - cost 4 millions dollars
Whitney & Bobby crack out a duo....priceless
Soul Man.. your blogs are always jumping off.. but J.Lo gettin 2 mill to sing.. she not worthy of it.. I understand Christina.. it was his wedding.. and she got a hot voice.. but J. Lo.. come on now..
J.LO singing....???...didn't her spanish album just flop big time????...I think only sold 50,000 units since it's release 3 weeks ago and she's being paid $2M to sing???...oh, well to each his own I guess...
This man has money to throw around and while we know J.Lo is not a great singer a lot of people still like her and she sounds better singing in spanish than she does in english.
Do you J-lo. No she can't sing but no aday no one really can. I mean do I need to list the new group of girls Ciara, Rihanna etc... and people still ride for them like they are the second coming so don't spew hate at J-lo atleast she did have to put in work to get to that point
Rere:
I use to think that Rhianna could not sing. her voice was annoying to me but I went to a Carribean festival about a month ago and I totally understand why she talks one way and sings another. Their voices (esp people from Barbados) are sooo unique - they can talk English why just a hint of their accent but once they hit the stage - the accent is in full effect... I am going to try and Rhianna another try - her first album was actually a good CD - it sounded more like what I heard at the festival. But we to each it's on...
J-Lo aint a horrible singer but I don't know about 2million - but that man paid two million to look at her ass up close and personal - they ain't fooling me...lol
I used to like to run to a J-lo album three or four years ago. It's great workout music. Christina seems like she would be a pretty good wedding singer. And I liked the Samsung commercial
KSH- I liked her first album as well and it was suited for her voice. I don't care why it sounds like like a cat in heat , it just does. As far as J-lo I thought she def improved with Spanish album and it is her best album in years. I am only interested in when Jay is dropping that Christe Michelle.
Alot of these singer out here really cant sing!!!! Ciara & Rhinna?...... J. Hud brought somethin 2 tha game and Fantsaia can do her think 2!! Keysha can blow!! But it sound like she b tryin 2 hard!! Jill Scott can blow!!.. Erica do her thing 2!! (Badu)..But they vets!!.... Pussy cat chick is a regular girl voice!! Kellis sucks ass!!.... Kelly ight!!!... Tha chick on Nas album... Christe Micihelle (cant 4get about u) she can sing real good!!! But def Jam had this artist last summer who was nice!!! She had a real nice voice name Megan Rochelle!!! Ne body kno what happen 2 her!! SHe was ill!!
Christe Michelle is the truth and I really hope she gets her just due. I hope (hint , hint)Soulful will pound the pavement and find out what is going on with her.
Yeah but Rhianna is going to be the next "she can shit on a record and people will buy it"...mos def!
And I like Chrisette but she is like a mini Jill Scott and Ima stick with Jill.
JS:
I dig JLo. The only beef I got is when she was acting a damn fool about Ben Afleck...then she lost a bunch of cool points with me!
But her music was cool "Ain't It Funny" was my shit back in the day and she workout jams are plentiful...lol

why pay 1.2.mill for J Lo b/c she is worth 400 mill. she worth more than whitney and tony braxton. beyonce cost 2 mill for a performance like that. i would pay a grip (if i had it) for christina to sing @ my wedding one of the best voices in the pop biz right now well she can rank with whitney and mariah. as for the commercial nothing special its a commercial.......
How did I know u'd find a way to put DING! in the post, anyway the only way I'd pay that much for J.lo is if she would promise to teach me that move in the 'Get Right' video......u know the one where she slides backwards
KSH---I just wish JLo would go back to making movies like Out of Sight. She was great in that. And I also loved Selena. . . I cry my eyes out at the end. I just saw Monster-in-Law though, total crap. I think JLo has talented but yeah she wasted her time gushing over Affleck and spreading herself too thin.

Is all I want to say. Ksh if you say so.
Not surprised considering her ass alone is worth 1 million dollars. But I'm guessing the figure is somewhat exaggerated. I mean, come on, 4 million dollars for Aguilera to sing. The girl can blow, but for 500grand each and a twelve piece you could of got JHud and Tasia to sing at your wedding.
JS:
Loved "Out Of Sight"...I like the Jenny from the Block a tad better than the Glam Goddess but hey whatever works for her...
Soulfulone:
I use to try my best to do that ish...lol The "Get Right" video was one of my fav's too. J-Lo was it a while back - you could eat, drink or take a shit without getting some kind of J-Lo info update...lol
WisdomBody:
Yeah that chick is worth some mad cheez... (J-Lo)
Rere:
I can't youtube at the JOB - but Ima say "you are right" and keep it moving for keeping it moving sakes...lol

That shit ain't right...funny as hell but not right at all...lmaooooooooooo
J.lo is washed up as hell. She hasnt had a hit since 2003 or 2004. And she's hittin' 40 soon, she's done. Stick a fork in her!!
Dont forget the "luv dont cost a thing' video, it took me 'bout a month to get them moves right.
"Seems like Jenny was underpaid."
You're an idiot. Point blank. And to believe some people don't have jobs and this guy has one.
And some of the others "for 500grand each and a twelve piece you could of got JHud and Tasia to sing at your wedding"
Why? JHud and Tasia are talented but the world does not revolve around an Oscar and an American Idol winner. Get over them.
^^^ of course the world doesn't, but why have a 40 minute appetizer at your wedding when you can have a talent buffet?
WHATEVER.
damn pay me $100 and i'll sing any song da book .....(clears throat) ....(la la la) ..... (glasses break)
SHE'S A WHORE & SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO TALENT WHATSOEVER. GET OVER YOURSELF U NASTY HOE!
