Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko paid Christina Aguilera $3.6 million to sing two songs at his wedding in the South of France over the weekend, flying her to Cannes in a private jet and putting her up in a $4,000 a night suite with her fiance. “Christina did a brilliant job,” said one wedding guest. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when she sang Beautiful. But no-one suspected how much she’d been paid – it’s like winning the Lottery for her.”
How is it that somebody foolish enough to throw down $3.6 million for two songs from Christina Aguilera has the business sense to become a fucking billionaire? You don’t see Bill Gates paying Jessica Simpson $10 million to make a sex tape with a polar bear. Sure, he’s got the money, but you don’t become the richest man in the world making stupid investments in polar bear porn. And a recent article in Forbes magazine points out that polar bear porn is worth way more than Christina Aguilera’s music.

Actually, Mr. Melnichenko also paid Enrique Eglesias and Whitney Houston the same amount to sing the same number of songs at his wedding to model Aleksandra Nikolic. Believe you me, this business man knows exactly what he is doing. His guests included all the richest man of Russia, including Manchester owner Roman Abramovich. Just another business meeting people.
