Eminem's Oz Payday: $15 Million! + Em Declined $6M NZ Gig

[2PointOBoy]

Promoter of New Zealand's Big Day Out music festival says that they wanted to get Eminem to perform at their event in 2012, but he says that after Eminem was paid $15 million for his three Australia shows with the Aussie promoters "milking it for what it was worth," it was "la la land" to even think that Em would perform at Big Day Out even after they offered $6 million for one show...

[mareble412]

So EM got 5million per show in australia, right? 6 million would be a steal

[ScottMurray]

Hailie is gonna have some bigass inheritance haha Em probaly spends very little money

[babyjane]

DAMN! Proof that being selective pays off, a note to all those artists over-saturating the market.

ETA: $15 mil NZ equals about $11 mil American dollars

[JamaicanPattlez]

Does Eminem even get to chose if he goes to perform there or not?

If I loved music, I'd do it..the 6 mill would be a no brainer

Sometimes you need breaks though. Flying that far to perform can drain you I imagine. He probably wants to take it slow so he doesn't need ambien, valium, etc.

when I read ambien and valium I pronounced it in my head with an accent. LOL..damn relapse

Actually, the Australian dollar is stronger. $15M AUD = $15,250,000 USD.

Damn. MONEY. I wonder how much Em is worth now. He must've made a fortune over the last 12-13 years.

[SliK]

He doesn't exactly live a modest lifestyle though. His house(s), car(s), etc. are all pimped as fuck. I bet he has a plane too, and I bet it's pimped as fuck. But when you have that kind of money, and such a sheltered lifestyle, it would be hard to spend money on much else though.

I hope Em comes here one day...

em could turn his place to heaven if he wanted to, if it aint already, that is.


and now for DJ Jesus..

[TheGentlePlayer]

Wait, did Em say no to 6 mill, or did they not offer him the offer cuz they thought he would say no?
And who knows, maybe Em says yes cuz the event is in 2012

[Epidemik]

I guess that's what happens when you starve a nation for 10 years. COME TO CANADA, FUCKFACE!

According to celebritnetworth.com Em is worth about $115 million.
