Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle is charging more than £9,000 a minute to perform live at corporate events, according to reports.
A prospective corporate client was told that booking Miss Boyle, 48, who was second in the competition behind dance group Diversity, for just three songs lasting about four minutes each would cost a staggering £115,000.
An email from her agent Andrew Pountain, of Industry Music Group, to a corporate client who asked about booking Miss Boyle to perform three four-minute songs at an event in August said her fee would be “100k plus VAT”, the News of the World reported.
A source close to the singer told the paper: “She’s the biggest star to have come out of Britain’s Got Talent, so her price to sing reflects that.
“These fees mean it will take ten dates for her to make a million pounds, which is unprecedented for a reality show winner.”

And why not? She’s the curiosity of the moment and it is her time to cash in, while she still can. Soon enough the media will turn on her and drive her into the ground…
Good for her!
Soccermom, the fickle media has already turned on Boyle. I hope she’s careful and packs away her fees for a rainy day as the clouds are already on the horizon.
Yes, good for her. But how much are the bloodsuckers making who invented these fees?
They’ve found a nice new cash cow and they’re milking her with both hands.

A lot?
And how much does Cher make/charge for her appearances? And Madonna? And Michael Jackson and all of the other touring big names?
Who the hell cares what Susan Boyle charges? Only those that initially praised her and now think that the only way to extend the story surrounding her is to destroy her!
I’m thinking MSM again. Sick b@$tard$!
And how much do clowns like Al Gore get paid for talking up his investments?
And how much does Bush Jr. charge for talking about how he saved the world from Weapons of mass destruction?
CRB Michel Jackson is touring between autopsy labs and not charging a lot these days.
