Madonna Makes $1 Million A Night -- Here's What The Rest of The Industry Earns

The good people over at Priceonomics have one of the best blogs on the Internet that you may not be reading. In Freakonomics fashion, they use data to tell stories, answering all those evading questions in life. After delving into their daily offerings, you’ll end each and every post with a “Wow!” or a “Huh, I’d always wondered about that…” Just the other day, Priceonomics published a leaked list of a range of how much bands and singers earn per performance, with the numbers ranging from $1,000 to six digits. While the list may not be perfect, the numbers are close to what an appearance would fetch. The firm that leaked the list, Degy Entertainment, is known for college shows, which can cost a premium, much as someone hiring a celebrity for a private party would know.
