Do you think this female superstar’s “deal” with BTC will be successful?

Around February 2012, the media was abuzz with the news that Simon Cowell decided to spend an unbelievable amount of money to invite “Queen Bee” Beyoncé to be a judge on season 2 of X-Factor US.

If this deal comes true, Beyoncé will immediately move from the ranks of millionaires straight to the list of billionaires because at that time, Jay-Z and his wife will have a “huge” fortune at the top of Hollywood.

Specifically, according to Marie Claire, Simon Cowell wants to sign with Beyoncé a “crazy” contract worth 500 million USD (more than 1.1 trillion VND) for her to sit as a judge on X-Factor US for 5 years, with 5 consecutive seasons.

That means that every season, Hollywood’s top female superstar will be paid $100 million, and the agreement will last for 5 consecutive years. This is truly a “huge” number, beyond the public’s imagination if this really happens!

However, many people believe that this number is worthy because Beyoncé is one of the stars who has joined the legendary ranks, with an illustrious career that “balances” both professional evaluation and mass appeal.

28 Grammy awards, 7 #1 Billboard Hot 100 songs, nearly 180 million records sold worldwide in your career is no joke, right?

Beyoncé is not only a supremely talented artist, but also a feminist icon, a symbol of the struggle for the black community, and a powerful fashion icon of Hollywood.

However, as we know, the deal between tycoon Simon Cowell and “Queen Bee” failed when X-Factor US only aired for 2 more seasons (2012 and 2013) before stopping permanently because of consecutive ratings. bottomed out.

In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Simon Cowell also had names to replace Beyoncé with much lower amounts: Britney Spears (15 million USD), Demi Lovato (2 million USD), Paulina Rubio (1.5 million USD), Kelly Rowland ($1 million),…

In addition, many people also believe that tycoon Simon Cowell’s news of inviting Beyoncé to the X-Factor seat for $500 million for 5 seasons is a trick to attract public attention to the reality TV show. this only.

Simply because the amount of 100 million USD/season is too large compared to the average, even to invite Beyoncé. Many famous female artists have also sat in the hot seat of reality shows at much lower prices.

With American Idol, Katy Perry sat as a Judge for 25 million USD per season, Mariah Carey as a Judge for 18 million USD for 1 season while Nicki Minaj sat with the female diva that year and was paid 12 million USD;

Jennifer Lopez sat for 3 consecutive seasons with the first season’s salary of 12 million USD, then gradually increased to 17.5 million USD in the final season.

Katy Perry is an American Idol judge with the highest salary: 25 million USD.

With The Voice, Miley Cyrus brought in 15 million USD for the first season she accompanied, Christina Aguilera sat as coach for the first 5 seasons with the price increasing from 10 million for the first season to 12.5 million USD for the 5th season;

Alicia Keys is a bit lower when she gets about 8 million USD for the coach chair, Shakira and Gwen Stefani both receive 12 million USD for sitting in the “hot seat”.

The latest season of The Voice marking the appearance of Ariana Grande also made the “hot seat” more expensive than ever: a price of 25 million USD was offered for the “little diva” to nod.

“Little diva” Ariana Grande is also the person with the highest salary in The Voice US history – 25 million USD.

And it can be said that Beyoncé seems to have no luck with music reality TV shows since from then on, her name no longer appears on any show.

Of course, that doesn’t affect the pockets of Hollywood’s most powerful duo: Beyoncé & Jay-Z.
