According to Pro Football Network, the musician had been working in the music industry for three decades now. His career began in the 1990s but it took off around the early 2000s thanks to his hit tracks "OMG," "Yeah!," "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," and many more.

Even though this was his first time headlining the show, it wasn't the first time he appeared on the big stage as he was one of the surprise guests of the Black Eyed Peas back in 2011 for Super Bowl 45. At the time, he joined Will.i.am for their song "OMG."
How Much Is Usher Getting From His Super Bowl Performance
Every year, the Super Bowl enlists legendary artists to perform for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but it's surprising to know that none of them are getting paid. For clarification, they get $0 for their performance according to The Independent.
Even though there is no paycheck worth millions of dollars, Usher is expected to get a massive exposure which could potentially boost his listening streams on music streaming platforms after his performance.
CBS News clarified that the musician will still get paid under the union scale which is estimated to be around $1,000 per day.
The NFL has been doing this for a long time and there was even a moment in 2015 when the league asked solicited fees to perform from Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Coldplay, all of whom rejected the notion.
"I want to be able to say I played the Super Bowl based on my talents and my merit, thank you very much," Perry said at the time.
Usher Net Worth 2024
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the musician's estimated fortune is around $180 million.
Most of his earnings come from his three-decade career as a musician and he reportedly earned from his album sales, music royalties, concerts, Las Vegas residencies, and many more.
In addition, he also co-founded the record label Raymond Braun Media Group along with Scooter Braun.
