Mariah gets paid more than "Miss Jackson if you're nasty"
Virgin Music Group Worldwide announced that it has signed Mariah Carey to an unprecedented several-album deal, making her the highest paid recording artist in history. It's been reported that she got $80 million including $20 million as an advance.
Seven million was to buy out her last album from her former record label, Sony. That's the soundtrack from her movie, All That Glitters. She's said to have a duet with Luis Miguel on that album.
One thing for sure is that Mariah got a better deal than Janet Jackson. Janet, who now becomes Mariah's new label mate, previously shocked the industry with her multimillion dollar deal. In case you didn't know, Mariah has sold more than 140 million albums and singles in her career. This child is just 31 years old. (Sister 2 Sister) Many thanks to Regina from Mariah Daily.
