In a now-deleted social media post last month, Karim Kharbouch, known professionally as French Montana, shared a screenshot of the offer without disclosing the other performer’s identity. However, he did mention being offered $1 million for a performance, while the undisclosed individual was offered $9 million back in December. In a subsequent interview with VladTV, Montana revealed that the $9 million offer was extended to none other than the 14-time Grammy winner, Taylor Swift.
“They had a show offer for me and Taylor — her $9 million, me $1 million,” Montana disclosed, adding, “Somewhere in Emirates.”
The question arises: why did Swift decline such a lucrative offer?
While the reason remains undisclosed, it appears that financial concerns are not a factor. Forbes recently recognized Swift as one of the wealthiest musicians globally, achieving a ten-figure status solely through her music and performances. The 34-year-old pop sensation has amassed an estimated fortune of $1.1 billion, attributed to earnings from her blockbuster tours, the value of her music catalogue, and her real estate investments.
On the other hand, Beyoncé, another prominent figure in the music industry, has capitalized on private performances to rake in millions. According to a 2023 Forbes report, Beyoncé headlined the launch of the opulent ‘Atlantis the Royal’ hotel in Dubai, where she reportedly earned a staggering $24 million for an hour-long set. Additionally, Beyoncé performed at the 2018 pre-wedding reception of the daughter of Mukesh Ambani, the 9th richest man globally, reportedly earning an estimated $4.7 million.
Notable figures from the entertainment industry have also cashed in on private events. Jennifer Lopez reportedly earned a substantial $2.8 million at an event hosted by Russian billionaire Andrei Melnichenko. Likewise, David Brooks, a former body armor magnate, paid Aerosmith $2.9 million to perform at his daughter’s birthday celebration. In 2011, Billboard reported that Celine Dion was booked for 2-3 private events annually, commanding a fee of approximately $8.5 million for each performance.
In an industry where private events offer substantial financial rewards, artists like Taylor Swift continue to navigate opportunities while maintaining their artistic integrity and financial standing. With Swift’s status as a musical powerhouse and business mogul, her decision to decline the $9 million offer underscores her strategic approach to her career and brand.
