Much like the great artists who graced the Super Bowl Halftime stage before him,

Just imagine how much dough Usher has to be getting for his much-anticipated performance.

Considering the earlier legends headlining the big show include,

[{"selector":"#anim-070810b3-9d48-4202-9cec-6c2f15a81eb0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd33150c-6e3f-4e8c-b673-9f223bda66d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 180.71520%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] IMAGE SOURCE:GOOGLE

Michael Jackson, Prince, Diana Ross, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones,

[{"selector":"#anim-677d2df7-115b-4b74-bf57-37baed838601","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77fc587c-e40c-4089-a8d7-d40f45616109","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 148.47132%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] IMAGE SOURCE:GOOGLE

You’d figure the “Confessions” crooner would be getting about $10 million, maybe?

[{"selector":"#anim-1c508510-5419-49da-b4ee-e749ecdc2528","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0502960-3fb9-4e71-8582-79b93f2354d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 183.01402%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] IMAGE SOURCE:GOOGLE

Does the cost go up depending on the status of the artist, or does the price raises year after year?

[{"selector":"#anim-e3a89e72-5789-4c41-9965-1b745eb09990","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f2f90de-f63a-4cfb-897e-9be4b1190ede","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 161.72837%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] IMAGE SOURCE:GOOGLE

Or maybe it depends on how grand the performance turns out to be?
