Night clubs can be a great way to get out and have a good time.  Sometimes it can be fun to hit the club with your good friends and dance the night away. But while you and your friends are scraping money together to afford the cover, your favorite celebrities are getting paid that and then some. Yup, that’s right.  Many celebrities command a very high fee to make club appearances and/or to host events at clubs.  You’re probably wondering why that’s the case, but club owners and promoters know that having a big name celebrity show up to their club will definitely draw a large crowd of people who will be willing to pay almost anything to get in.  With that being said, you still won’t believe how much some of these people are making – some for simply showing their face and leaving.  Here are 10 celebrities who make a fortune off club appearances.

Pamela Anderson

Actress, Pamela Anderson, may be famous for her work on-screen, but she’s definitely capitalized on her success to make money in other ways.  Anderson always been known for her good looks and fun personality, so it’s no surprise that clubs would pay her to be there.  According to sources, Anderson can bring in $20,000 from one club appearance alone, and by the looks of things all she literally has to do is appear.  Talk about easy money!

Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana is often considered one of the sexiest women in Hollywood,  and when you look that good – apparently, you don’t just show up to places for free.  Well since Saldana is the kind of woman most men would love to bump into at the club, there’s really no surprise that she’s turned the club into a source of income. Saldana can demand at least $25,000 to show up at a club, which is more than some people make in an entire year.

Paris Hilton

During the early 2000s, Paris Hilton went from a socialite to a reality TV star in what seemed like the blink of an eye.  Paris quickly won over the love and attention of her viewers with her silly antics and fun-loving personality.  Even after she killed reality TV goodbye, she managed to stay relevant with other business ventures, including club appearances.  Although recent reports have suggested that Paris can no longer demand the big bucks for her club appearances, at her peak, some say that she could earn up to $1 million for partying with her fans at a nightclub.

Scott Disick 

Like the rest of the people on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Scott Disick’s fame has seen a great increase because of the show’s popularity.  Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy may not be able to command as big a fee as some of the Kardashians, but Disick definitely brings in some serious cash.  Not only has he been known to make appearances at clubs, but with his Kardashian connections, Disick can earn approximately $50,000 for club appearances.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is one of those celebrities that the public just can’t ever seem to get enough off.  Even years after making her debut, and having a series of extreme highs and lows, Spears can always count on her fans to support her and show up wherever she’s going to be.  For that reason, Britney Spears can earn a ton of money for appearing at clubs and parties. Unfortunately for partygoers, Spears doesn’t have as much time for club appearances now that she performs regularly in Las Vegas, but when she was hitting the clubs, she could earn up to $350,000 on a good night.

Kim Kardashian

Lets face it, no matter how you feel about Kim Kardashian, there’s no denying that she’s very smart when it comes to making money.  Somehow, she’s managed to turn her 15 minutes of fame into a multi-million dollar empire, and by the looks of things  – she’s here to stay. Even if you find Kim K annoying, or don’t even understand why she’s famous in the first place, it would still be pretty cool to be hanging out at the same club as her.  According to reports, Kim K usually brings in about $50,000 per appearance, but can earn as much as $500,000.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is officially the highest selling female rapper to ever do it, so you already know she’s not doing ANYTHING unless somebody is cutting her a nice check. However, at the beginning of her career, Minaj made a lot of club appearances to promote herself and show her fans that she was around.  Since her busy schedule no longer allows her to make appearances like she used to, when she can make the time, she definitely $250,000.  And unlike some stars, Nicki Minaj doesn’t just show up and look down from the VIP section, she actually hosts events.

Drake

Just like fellow Young Money member, Nicki Minaj, Drake is also one of the biggest rappers in the game.  Over the last few years, Drake’s career has really taken off and his pockets have definitely been reaping the benefits of his success.  Apparently, Drake can charge up to $300,000 for a club appearance.  Not too shabby for a guy who got his start on Degrassi.

Christina Aguilera 

Christina Aguilera may not seem like a celebrity who can demand big bucks for a club appearance, but like her former teen rival, Britney Spears, fans still love Christina. Although she may not be able to do this now, Christina Aguilera once earned $1 million for showing up a club for an hour.  Yup, while you’re showing up to work every day for a check that’s pretty much gone before you get it, Christina Aguilera is doing things like this.

Lady Gaga

 If you were planning on booking Lady Gaga for a club appearance, you better have an extra $100,000 lying around – because that’s how much it’s going to cost you.  But if you were planning on booking Gaga for a private club appearance, you’re going to want to sit down for this.  According to sources, for Gaga to appear at a private event, she charges a whopping $2 million.  Yeah, hope you were sitting down for that one!
