Hiring a band is a great way to ensure that yours is a memorable party, but only if the band suits the attendees. How, then, do you impress a party that includes the social elite? You could try hiring one of the performers (or groups thereof) who have put on the most expensive private musical performances in the world.

Most expensive private musical performance
The Eagles

Celine Dion charges around $6.5 million USD for a private performance, which she holds two or three times a year, while the Rolling Stones charged Texan investor David Bonderman $7 million to play an hour-long set at his 60th birthday in 2002.

The Eagles set the record, though, performing their classic “Hotel California” at a private party in New York for over $6 million. That’s six million dollars for a single song, making that performance the world’s most expensive private musical performance.

I purchased a private show to see Celine Dion. It was amazing, and worth every penny, even though 6.5 million isn’t that much.
