What was Justin Bieber's Coachella salary?
Katy Perry reacts to Justin Bieber set
According to Vogue, Justin was paid a whopping $10 million for his Coachella performance. Not only that but his slot "spurred the highest-ever ticket demand" and "his performance was the most Googled in Coachella history." Vogue also reports that Justin broke Coachella merch sale records by selling $5.04million worth of product in Week 1.
For comparison, JustJared has reported that The Weeknd was paid $8.5 million in 2022, Ariana Grande and Beyoncé were both offered $8 million in 2018 and 2019 respectively and Sabrina Carpenter was paid $5 million this year. It's worth baring in mind that some of these numbers would be considerably larger now due to inflation.
On top of that, Beyoncé also made a larger profit off of her Coachella performance by selling her Homecoming film that documented her headlining slot to Netflix for $20 million as part of a $60 million three film deal.
It's also worth noting that a lot of artists use their headline fee to contribute to performance production costs.
With another weekend of performing, Justin looks set to make even more money with merch sales in Week 2.
It's currently unclear if Justin intends to use footage of his performance in a film or not.
