Additionally, she donated the money before it even became public that she had done the show.

Asked to comment, Beyonce’s spokesperson, Yvette Noel-Schure emailed The Huffington Post:
All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year’s Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause.
Noel-Schure said that Beyonce contributed the funds to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, which was established in the wake of that country’s devastating earthquake last year. A spokesperson for the fund confirmed that Beyonce did give $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, which was accepting donations for Haiti relief, in the first few weeks after the January 2010 disaster.
