Jennifer Lopez was paid $2 million to fly to Russia to entertain a Russian billionaire.

Andrei Melnichenko, a 35-year-old Russian banker, is flying Lopez to the U.K. to entertain his model wife, Aleksandra, and her 60 guests at their home for her birthday bash, according to various overseas reports. The tab is said to be $1.2 million fee, plus $800,000 for Lopez and her entourage’s expenses. Melnichenko’s personal fortune is reportedly close to $5 billion. Andrei and Aleksandra are both very great fans of J. Lo, so Andrei put the call in and personally put the offer to [Lopez,]” a source told London’s Daily Mail. “She accepted immediately. She will sing for about 40 minutes — not bad money for the work.

Geez, I wouldn’t even have her come to my house to entertain my cats for free. 40 minutes!?!? Of course she would take the deal. “Easy money.” I hope those 40 minutes go by quicker than her sinking career. These people just got way too much money that they don’t know what to do with it, other than spending it on mediocre singing. For that much money, she’d better be doing more than “singing”. Like, oh I don’t know, balancing nuclear bombs on her head. But I guess she’s got to do what she’s got to do to afford all her Prada.
