Usher reportedly only got paid $671 for the Superbowl Halftime but will end up making over $100M in streaming sales, concert tickets and endorsements on the back end
Usher only got paid $671 for his Super Bowl halftime show
Usher did his thing, during his Super Bowl performance, and reminded the world. Most wrote him off, seeing how many years passed between his hits. Normally, an artist doing a Las Vegas residency signals the end of their career. For Usher, it was a rejuvenation, and it led to the NFL recruiting him to do the halftime performance, for the Super Bowl. With all the attention Usher garnered, it turns out he only received $671 for his efforts.
According to new reports, Usher was paid just $671 for his performance. It’s a far cry from the kinds of paydays he’s likely used to pulling in from his performances. But as you’d expect, there’s a catch. Performing on one of the largest possible stages comes with its own kind of benefits. A different new report emerged after the Super Bowl, citing it as the most-watched big game ever. As a result, Usher is expected to rake in more than $100 million between increased streams of his music, tickets to his upcoming tour, and endorsements stemming from the performance.
