Many would argue that the answer to the above question is 'dignity' but if you're considering spicing up your birthday party with an appearance by
Jamiroquai be prepared to spend over
£500,000 (yes we have got the comma in the right place). Painstaking research that we have seen somewhere shows some shockingly high prices for a star to show up and mime their hit(s) for your slightly embarrassed family to shuffle along to.
So here we go in ascending order:
-
Peaches Geldof - £7.5k
-
Howard Jones - £10k
-
Rhydian from X Factor - £20k
-
Beverley Knight or Shakin Stevens - £40k (!!!!!)
-
Sugababes - £100k
-
Lily Allen - £150k
-
Prodigy or Girls Aloud (typical choice) - £250k
-
Winehouse / Timberlake / Rihanna - £500k
-
Beyonce - £750k
-
Mark Ronson - £1m
If anyone gets The Prodigy to play their company party we'd definitely like an invite.
