Justin Bieber earning $300k per concert
Do you remember when you started working at 16? Was it a fast food chain? Or delivering newspapers at 6 o’clock in the morning? It probably gave you just enough pocket money to be able to go to the movies with your friends or buy a pair of your favourite jeans.
One well-known 16-year-old boy, Justin Bieber, also works—except that for every concert he gives, he earns $300,000 U.S., according to teenmusic.com.
Now we can better understand why he so wanted to make up the cancelled Syracuse, New York concert so badly, despite vocal problems.
Even though Bieber’s income is an impossible dream for most of us, he’s still not the highest paid artist by concert.
It seems to country-singing pays particularly well as evidenced by the $487,500 U.S. earned for each concert by Keith Urban, husband of Nicole Kidman.
Country trio, Rascal Flatts, relatively unknown on this side of the border, pockets
$702,500 U.S. per show, while non-country acts like KISS receives $500,000 per performance.
