Vladimir Molotov

The tense international situation, mutual sanctions from the West and the Russian Federation, fluctuations in the foreign exchange market - these, as well as many other factors, served as reasons for the search for additional sources of income among ordinary people who want to ensure stability at least in their wallets.

And if some of us have encountered the above situation first-hand, then how are things going with the Russian elite, in particular show business stars? The question remains open. But we will still find an answer to it in order to figure out who the crisis has benefited and who it has harmed.

How much do domestic stars earn?

According to materials from the organizer of concert events “Ru-concert”, requests from Russian first-tier performers in 2015 increased by 1.5-3 times (20-100 thousand USD). By the way, few of the celebrities who are on the Olympus of national fame have lost due to exchange rate differences, because almost everyone prefers to receive fees in foreign currency.

Only a tiny part of the population acts as an exception. total number top stars: Oleg Gazmanov, the Lyube group, Nadezhda Babkina and others.

As for the middle price category, here the market conditions have developed in a radically opposite way. For example, participants of numerous music shows on federal TV, including Pierre Narcisse, Alexander Kireev, Anton Zatsepin and Alina Chuvashova, they are asking for minimal money by today’s standards - from 50 thousand rubles. For comparison, a year earlier this amount was equal to 200 thousand rubles.

The most expensive performers

Legends have been made about how much Philip Kirkorov earns for decades. This year, the king of pop music is not slowing down, sharing the palm of the highest paid singers along with Grigory Leps, Leonid Agutin and Stas Mikhailov. The fees for each of them are €90-100 thousand for 1 hour of a corporate event. We suggest comparing this with the salaries of Russian national team players.

Nikolai Baskov estimates his performances a little less - 80-85 thousand. e., and behind him comes Valery Meladze with 55 thousand. e.

Dima Bilan, Vitas and Verka Serduchka will ask you for €40 thousand, and the public’s favorite Ivan Dorn is about €35 thousand and exactly the same amount for “Mr. Black Star" - Timur Yunusov, aka Timati. We have a separate section on Timati’s fees.

Salaries of popular singers

The fair half of the stars Russian show business financial appetites are hopelessly inferior to colleagues in the shop represented by Kirkorov, Mikhailov, Leps and Agutin. Only a prima donna Russian stage is able to compete with them with no less stunning requests of €70 thousand. But Alla Pugacheva herself in Lately Quite rarely pampers his fans even at corporate events.

  • L. Vaikule and T. Gverdtsiteli – 40-50;
  • Elka and T. Povaliy, Ani Lorak, V. Brezhnev - no more than 35;
  • Maxim, A. Semenovich, A. Varum, Nyusha, Polina Gagarina - from 20;
  • S. Loboda, Natalie, I. Bilyk – 15-20.

Musical groups

One of the most popular duets, “Potap and Nastya Kamensky,” churns out hits like hot cakes. To rock with them live to the fresh track “Bumdiggibay” you will have to fork out 45 thousand. e., which is comparable to Pavel Volya’s fee. For the same money, you can give preference to the shocking Sergei Shnurov and the Leningrad group, and saving 5,000 USD. That is, opt for the no less eccentric Diana Arbenina, accompanied by the “Night Snipers”.

Among others (thousand euros):

  • “Mumiy Troll”, “Bi-2” – from 40;
  • “Beasts” and “A-studio” – 30;
  • “Silver”, “Tea”, “Boombox” – from 20;
  • "Degrees" and the updated composition " VIA Gra» – 10-20.

Price list for services of leading show programs

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to invite a popular presenter to a corporate event? In fact, this is an unaffordable luxury for many, even far from poor, customers. For example, the record holders in this market segment are considered to be Ivan Urgant and Maxim Galkin, who will cost a pretty penny for as much as €50 thousand.

In the same time, alternative options with M. Galustyan, S. Svetlakov, G. Martirosyan, K. Sobchak, I. Vernik, G. Kharlamov and T. Batrutdinov will cost €20-40 thousand. Read more about residents' salaries Comedy Club- on this page . It is also worth taking into account the fact that the final fee is announced only after all formalities have been agreed upon with the star’s agent:

  • place and date of the event - weekdays, weekends, holidays;
  • format and duration of the show;
  • presenter's schedule;
  • content of the concert program, etc.

Top 7 richest stars of Russian show business

Just recently, the analytical publication Forbes published a ranking of the richest celebrities of 2015. And looking ahead, let’s say that our artists are not rich only in the stage.

Grigory Leps – $12.3 million.

G. Leps wins our list not only thanks to his extraordinary voice, but also to his ability to properly manage his own money. In addition to creative activities, the artist's assets consist of a copyright store sunglasses, as well as two karaoke bars opened in Moscow and Kyiv together with the Ginza Project.

Philip Kirkorov – $10.5 million.

The generational favorite has performed over 160 concerts over the past 14 months, including appearances in the US, France, UAE and Singapore. In addition, according to a study by VTsIOM in 2014, Kirkorov was recognized as the most recognizable star in the post-Soviet space.

Nikolay Baskov – $7.5 million.

The People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Moldova is now collecting fees like mushrooms after rain. Meanwhile, fans of Nikolai Baskov are increasingly going crazy from scandals and gossip about his personal life. I wonder who will get the dowry of the vociferous heartthrob?

Valery Gergiev – $7.2 million.

The most sought-after conductor on globe and part-time manager Mariinsky Theater, undoubtedly knows a lot about investments. Valery Abisalovich is a co-owner of the Eurodon agricultural holding with a 15% stake, which in 2014 brought him more than 300 million rubles. net profit.

Valery Meladze – $5 million.

On this moment Meladze is a member of the board of directors International Union pop artists. Two years ago, he harshly criticized journalists at an open meeting of the State Duma of the Russian Federation on issues related to the protection of citizens’ rights in information field. Plus, Valery Shotaevich owns a cafe-bar not far from the Kremlin. The restaurant project was organized with common effort with Andrei Makarevich and Stas Namin.

Maxim Galkin – $4.7 million.

Alla Pugacheva’s husband has more than a hundred parodied politicians, actors, TV presenters, and representatives of Russian and foreign show business on his account. The announced figure in itself causes delight in the viewer, who only has time to serve bread and circuses.

Dima Bilan – $4 million.

Did you know that Yana Rudkovskaya’s ward in 2012 expressed a desire to continue his creative path under his real name - Victor Belan? However, something didn't work out. Most likely, the producer did not want to risk the six-figure fees of the Eurovision winner, otherwise suddenly the fans would oppose such changes.

And finally, experts from Forbes predict high growth pop singer Nyusha's income in the next six months. The candidate for the championship in the ranking of the richest celebrities in her young years has already managed to star in three films, voice over seven cartoons, combining her career as a TV presenter and solo performer.

In 2015 alone, Nyusha Shurochkina earned more than $2.5 million, but time will tell how many more millions the 24-year-old star will earn.
