Rihanna will receive $ 500,000 for her New Year’s Eve show

Rihanna will receive for her first concert in the Middle East the amount of $ 500,000.

The famous singer had to concert at Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi in May, but after the Chris Brown incident in February, she canceled most of her shows.

Although it may sound colossal, the amount of $ 500,000 is not such a big sum by Middle East standards. In 2006 George Michael received 2.6 million dollars to perform 13 songs for Russian tycoon Vladimir Potanin and last year, Amy Winehouse received 1.6 million dollars to sing in an old bus garage for Daria Jukova, Roman Abramovich’s girlfriend.

The Rolling Stones received 7.3 million for the 60’st anniversary of billionaire David Bonderman.
