Ariana Grande has reportedly made a staggering $8 million for her two headline performances at Coachella 2019.
The 25-year-old singer became the festival’s youngest ever headliner when she performed last Sunday (14th April), and is set to play another slot next Sunday (21st April).
The pop titan brought an impressive entourage on stage during her first performance, including P Diddy and Nicki Minaj and even found the time to reunite iconic 90’s boyband NSYNC.
The ‘thank u, next’ singer was announced for the Coachella lineup after production disagreements lead Kanye West to pull his slot.
The New Yorker reports that Coachella headliners are typically paid between $3 to £5 million.
It’s not clear why the singer has received a significantly higher sum at $8 million, although it could be due to her name being added to the bills just a few months prior to the festival.
It’s great fiscal news for the singer, who recently signed away 90% of the royalties on her massive hit ‘7 Rings’ to the estates of The Sound of Music composers, Rodgers and Hammerstein.
The eye-watering cut was agreed upon so that Grande would be able to sample their popular song, ‘My Favourite Things’.
In other Ari news, the singer recently shared an image of her brain scan with fans, highlighting the stark realities of living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
