8. Mariah Carey
Muammar Gaddafi invited Mariah Carey to perform at a private event for his son, for which she was reportedly paid $1 million. Carey is also one of the highest paid musical artists, mainly because she writes most of her own material and has learned how to manage her money well over the years. Mariah has also been known to have a reputation for being pretty demanding when it comes to accepting gigs, but it’s safe to say she’s earned that, since she’s been in the business for more than two decades. She only had to perform four songs at the event, and when she got criticism for accepting such a large amount of money, she kind of pretended that she didn’t fully realize who Gaddafi was. Maybe Carey felt a little guilty about the high price, but that didn’t stop her from taking the money.
