Was it worth spending R$60 million on Madonna’s show?

The singer’s fee alone cost R$17 million. Is it worth it?

Madonna’s show is making waves, having also entered the political debate. But this polarized discussion makes no sense, after all the show had already been planned for months and, unfortunately, it happened on the same weekend that a tragedy occurred in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Held on May 4th, “The Celebration Tour” concluded with a free event in Copacabana. But was it worth investing in this Madonna show, which in total was close to R$60 million?

To answer this question we must analyze the facts. Part of this amount was paid by Rio’s state and municipal governments, who said they shelled out R$20 million, the rest was financed by private sponsors. Madonna’s fee alone was R$17 million, while the transportation of the equipment cost R$20 million.

The Copacabana Palace alone must have earned a few million from guest Madonna, after all, daily rates for the hotel’s presidential suites, overlooking the sea, are around R$20,000. But Madonna didn’t just reserve one room, but the entire floor to have more privacy and access control. In total, the pop singer’s entourage occupied 90 rooms of the hotel, which is located in the south of Rio de Janeiro.

Now it’s up to you to say whether investing R$60 million in the show was worth it.
