Jennifer Lopez is paid more than 2 million dollars to perform at the birthday party organised by a Russian billionaire Andrei Melnichenko, People magazine reported.
Lopez’s 40-minute set included such hits as “Jenny From the Block”.
Melnichenko also paid the flight from the US to his 27-acre estate in Surrey, England, for singer, her husband and her team, who stayed the Mandarin Oriental in London.
“I can confirm that a very high-profile American singer performed at a private party in Surrey,” Melnichenko’s spokesman, Brian MacLaurin, told the magazine.
Sixty guests, including Russian and Serbian tycoons, attended the party for Melnichenko and his 30-year-old wife, former model Aleksandra Nikolic Melnichenko.
Melnichenko, who is worth 5 billion dollars, according to his spokesman, made his fortune founding MDM Bank. He’s no stranger to lavish spectacle: he paid Christina Aguilera 4 million dollars to sing at his 2005 wedding in the south of France.
