Forbes: Madonna Makes $1 Mill. A Night, Praises Rihanna.
I think it's inaccurate, Madonna doesn't do public appearances or performances for a fee, and much less would it only be $1 Million. But at least she's slaying the list. They also praise Rihanna and her brand.

Quote:
*Priceonomics published a leaked list of a range of how much bands and singers earn per performance, with the numbers ranging from $1,000 to six digits. While the list may not be perfect, the numbers are close to what an appearance would fetch. The firm that leaked the list, Degy Entertainment [...]
*These numbers are pre-expense, so if you’re thinking of snatching up some of these stars for your next event, think about adding a hefty sum onto these numbers for flights, hotel, etc.
*Learning that Adele make $750,000 per show is interesting, but certainly not surprising.
*Many of the celebs on this list have a back catalog of singles that plays like a Now That’s What I Call Music CD. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are both in the penthouse, as their dozen plus radio hits keep people buying tickets.
*Does $1,000,000 per Madonna show seem fair? With her sellout rates, sure.
*But what about $500,000 for Rihanna? Well, that’s a different story. While only 26, she is arguably the most popular singer in the world, with over forty top 40 hits to her credit (including thirteen #1’s).
*[Rihanna] reportedly earns up to $100,000 just to attend parties and [... ]The Rihanna brand is so valuable, fashion houses want photos taken of her in their front row, and they are willing to pay big for that association.
