Beyonce and Jay Z certainly cashed in over the Super Bowl weekend and were paid a tidy sum to perform together at a concert ahead of the sporting event.
It’s reported the power couple were paid over $2 million for an exclusive performance in New York on Saturday night.
The show took place in a specially-constructed 88,000 sq ft stadium – while guests drank in a heated stadium tent which took weeks to build.
Macklemore, Spike Lee, Hayden Panettiere and Kate Upton were amongst the other guests.
Jay, 44, headlined and performed a greatest hits set including his ode to New York City ‘Empire State of Mind’, before being joined by his wife Beyoncé, 32, to perform their latest collaboration.
The notoriously private pair, who also put on a steamy performance at the Grammy Awards last month, kissed on stage and Jay Z urged the crowd to “all hail Queen B.”
The event was sponsored by Mark Cuban’s Axs TV and Bank of America.
Later on in the evening the couple attended the Roc Nation Sports and Airbnb party at Jay Z’s own 40/40 Club.
