(Newser) – Another reminder that you're not a celebrity: You don't get paid $8 million to switch on your Christmas lights. But that is how much Rihanna is reportedly getting paid to do just that at a London mall this holiday season. To be fair, she's giving a concert, too. Celebuzz rounds up 13 more celebrity appearance fees:

  • Beyoncé snagged $2 million to perform at a private St. Barts party on New Year's Eve.
  • Meanwhile, hubby Jay-Z got just $1 million to appear in Las Vegas for a New Year's Eve party.

  • Rutgers paid Snooki $30,000 to do a Q&A session—more than Toni Morrison got to speak there.
  • If, for some reason, you want Paris Hilton to come to your event, you'll have to pay $100,000.
  • To hear four songs from Mariah Carey, pony up $250,000.
  • Christina Aguilera got paid a cool million to appear at a private Halloween party for an hour.

No doubt they are all altruist liberals, who want to "spread the wealth". ....As long as it's not "their wealth".
