7. Beyonce
Beyonce is often crowned the “queen of all music” by her fans, so it’s no surprise that she would acquire at least $1 million in some of her business dealings. Beyonce has won several awards in music, both as a solo artist and as part of Destiny’s Child, and she’s known for her work ethic and putting on phenomenal live shows. While it’s normal for her to charge in the six digits for a public appearance, she once charged $1 million to give a five-song performance in St. Barts on New Year’s Eve for Muammar Gaddafi, who apparently knows good music. Needless to say, critics had a lot to say about that, but we’re pretty sure that’s not the first time Beyonce has made a cool million just by showing up somewhere. To her credit, she donated her earnings for that appearance to charity. After all, it’s not like she can’t make the money back.
