How much did Rihanna get paid for her Super Bowl halftime performance?

Surprisingly, performers at the Super Bowl halftime show actually don't receive a payment!

Whilst the pop stars that take to the famous stage don't get paid, NFL does cover all the expenses that go into putting on the extravagant show.

They pay for everything from set design to travel costs, just not a performance fee! Production for the mid-match concert is reported to cost up to $10 million.

Many fans were shocked to discover this, but there are many advantages for some of the world's biggest musicians to perform during the famous slot even if it is for free.

Of course, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that a lot of artists would jump at the chance of doing, and it also causes a big surge in streams, merch and sales for the celebrity – therefor it can pay for itself in the long term.
