EXCLUSIVE: JEFF BEZOS REFUSED TO PAY $12M FOR GAGA & ELTON
They wanted $6 million EACH — Jeff said, ‘Put on a playlist.’”
Leave it to Jeff Bezos to throw a $50 million wedding… and still say no to Gaga.
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that the Amazon founder and his bride Lauren Sánchez went all out for their star-studded Venetian nuptials — but drew the line at one jaw-dropping price tag: $12 million for wedding singers.
“Elton John and Lady Gaga were both approached,” spills one source. “Each wanted $6 million for a single night. Jeff said, ‘Absolutely not.’”
Instead of shelling out the cost of a small moon landing, Bezos tapped DJ Cassidy to spin at the afterparty, held in a historic fortress only
accessible by boat. “The vibe was still luxe,” one guest shrugs. “But everyone was waiting for Gaga to emerge from a gondola or Elton to descend from the sky in Swarovski.”
Instead? Guests danced to ‘Just Dance’ — courtesy of Spotify.
Still, the bride sparkled in her second Dolce & Gabbana gown, and guests toasted into the night with free-flowing champagne. “The couple were the show,” a guest admitted. “But let’s be real — some of us came for Gaga.”
One source summed it up best: “It was the wedding of the year — but don’t expect Beyoncé prices from a man who built his fortune on free shipping.”

I was disgusted at first--then I thought about it: Why the hell not ask one of the richest men in the world for 6 million dollars to play at a wedding that could feed an entire city?

I wonder if they asked for that number because they really didn't want to do it.

Six millions is nothing in Bezos' universe. Good for Elton and Gaga. Fuck Bezos. I was disappointed to see Bill Gates at the wedding. But figured from a business perspective they probably know one another well. In fact I have to wonder how many of these whores actually knew the happy couple. I'm looking at you, Oprah. I noticed Usher was there. I wonder how much Bezos paid to have Usher and Tom Brady and Leo there Orlando would have paid for his invitation. LOL!

I don't blame Elton or Gaga for doing weddings for the ultra rich. Get that money from the fools. Elton was asking a million dollars a wedding 15 years ago. Inflation plus the fact he's reached an age where a wedding is a much more strenuous ordeal makes six million make sense.

Jeff balked at the price and told Lauren if she wanted those two at the ceremony, she’d have to pay for them out of her tit and lip replacement account.

As I looked at photos of Lauren in her costumes, I shudder to think what it must be doing to her insides, all crushed together.

Gaga is busy and both she and Elton would have taken heat for doing this.
That being said, if I were in their shoes, because of that, I would have asked for an absorbent amount of money to lower myself to being a "wedding singer."

It's a shame that Lady Gaga couldn't perform at this odious excuse for a wedding ceremony. The song "Bad Romance" has never been more appropriate for a couple.

R24..."exorbitant" amount of money.... meaning excessively high....

R24 They could have done this and then afterwards donated the entire fee to some Venice restoration fund/charity. That would have been a way to get them funds and stick a middle finger to Bezos. I would have quite respected that.

My biggest wedding regret will be not paying millions for Gaga's presence

Gaga couldn't capture the feel and energy of the "Just Dance" recording, anyway, with just a piano or whatever. It would be boring.

I don't think it would be embarrassing if they both donated their fees. Even to Elton's AIDS foundations. That kind of work is going to be important again because Trump is cutting everything.

$6 million wouldn’t cover his annual florist bill.
Then there’s the widow and their children and the foundation.

I don't see why it's considered embarrassing even if they kept the money. They perform, they get money in return. That has been one of the main elements of their careers forever. It's a concert for a smaller number of people.

For those obscene prices he could have everything from any opera in Italy. It's more than yearly budgets for probably .. everything. Only villains there. 30mil? Disgusting. Also, Venice has become Disneyland long ago but ... Disgusting.

Elton famously performed at Rush Limbaugh’a wedding. He’s a total whore.

Cut him some slack, r45. He probably needed money to buy colorful glass vases or some more shoes.
Fun fact: Elton performed at Rush's wedding for a mere one million.
