Bruno Mars still has people talking about his amazing performance at last night’s big game! But, the “Billionaire” singer won’t be getting paid for it. At least not money anyway. But he’s not alone. No performers for the big game, like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Prince, etc. get paid for their half-time performances. The fact that they are all on stage is how they get compensation.
According to reports:
“We do not pay,” NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told Forbes last year. “We cover all expenses associated with the performance. He’ll be playing what amounts to a 12-minute commercial for himself, which should boost sales for concert tickets, albums and merchandise,” For context, a 30-second ad costs about $4 million this year.”
