Wedding Makes Christina Aguilera Stinking Rich

Wedding singers have it so easy. Turn up, mumble your way through a Celine Dion number, try not to accidentally call the groom by the name of the bride’s ex-boyfriend and you’re away.

Or, if you’re Christina Aguilera, you could just fly to the wedding by private jet, sing a couple of your own songs, stay in a £2,000-a-night hotel and get stinking rich in the process.

Christina Aguilera (CDs) is not known for her ‘less is more’ style. Not
one to fill her songs with subtle nuances and inflections, Christina
prefers to just roar all of them in exactly the same blizzard of
overdone "whoa-oh-ohs."

Luckily for her, she shares the same fondness for going over-the-top
as Russian billionaires. Why have a bathroom completely made out of gold when you could have eight?

So when businessman Andrey Melnichenko got married in the South of
France at the weekend, he decided he had to get Aguilera to yell a few
of her greatest hits at them during the reception. And he paid her about
£1.2 million for it to happen.

If that wasn’t enough, Enrique and Julio Iglesias (CDs) were also paid to
take the stage at the Melnichenko wedding bash, as was Whitney Houston (CDs), although it’s unclear whether Bobby Brown was on hand to dig dootie bubbles out of her butt during the performance.

Guests at the wedding - rumoured to have cost around £20 million - included Roman Abramovich and Vladimir Putin. The wedding took place in a Russian chapel that was especially demolished and rebuilt in France.

So just about everyone in this little story is now completely loaded. But are they happy?

Yeah, probably. The bastards.
