How Much Will Rihanna Be Paid for her Super Bowl Performance?

Now, Rihanna is stepping into the light after more than five years for her biggest comeback yet - at the NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show.

But since her announcement rocked everyone all over the world, fans have been curious, how much will Rihanna be paid for her Super Bowl performance?

According to The Independent, Rihanna, like other performers in the past, was not paid in entirety for their Super Bowl performance. But, the National Football League pays for the production of their performance.

Per the publication, a representative from the League revealed that they will cover all costs associated with the show. However, they also said that they pay the halftime performers the "union scale"

Forbes defined that the "union scale" is a "fraction of the six or seven figure" fee that these kinds of artists usually earn.

In the past, Super Bowl performances are priced at more than 10 million dollars. For The Weeknd's Super Bowl performance, he has spent $7 million already just to put up his own show.

As for the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime show of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, the National Football League pooled around 13 million dollars just to cover the massive amount of performers involved during their performance.

But for Rihanna's Super Bowl performance, the NFL confirmed that both Apple Music and the League will be sharing the cost of the entire performance.
