Christina Aguilera was paid £1.2 million to sing just three songs at a wedding this weekend.
The 'Dirrty' girl earned the mega wage for less than an hours work at the star-studded bash in Antibes, in the South of France.
Getting married were Russian billionaire businessman Andrey Melnichenko and model Alexandra Koktovic.
And Christina wasn't the only big name asked to sing for the couple. Witney Houston, Enrique Iglesias and his father Julio also took to the stage. The guest list was included Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
One lucky guest told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The do must have cost £20 million. It made Victoria Beckham's wedding look like a register office job."
It was held in a chapel which was dismantled in Russia and shipped to France.
"The food was cooked by Alain Ducasse, one of the best chefs in the world."
Aguilera and her fiancé Jordan Bratman were flown to the event by private jet and stayed in a £2000-a-night hotel suite.
A source said: "Christina did a brilliant job. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when she sang Beautiful."
