She's Going To Get PAID!
Bittersweet news.
After a decades-long business relationship, Madonna is leaving Warner Brothers Records.
Where is she going?
She's not even going to another label!
Instead, the Queen of Pop has signed a pioneering deal with Live Nation, who - until now - were mainly concert promoters and venue owners.
Under the new ten-year deal with them, Madonna is getting paid $120 million PLUS stock options! No way could a record label pay her that much in this day and age.
In exchange, Live Nation will be granted the rights to three studio albums from her Madgesty as well as the right to promote concert tours, sell merchandise and license Madonna's name.
Does Madonna really need any more money?
She's already worth $325 mill!
Congrats, M. You've worked hard for this.

Some of you are jaded who gives a shit about worldwide sales when she can’t sell shit in her own country. It’s funny how because she doesn’t sell anymore in the US, Madonna fans will throw up her worldwide sales but if you did that to any other artist they would say who cares because they aren’t a chart success here. Mariah last album 6x Platinum now that’s a success–Madonna will never sell that again in the US, even Whitney’s “Just Whitney” outsold Madonna’s “American Life”.

MOORIAH sold 6 milions copies in USA and less than 1 milion in EUROPE! MAYBE SHE'S A LOCAL SINGER? plus I think these 6 milions aren'truth, as her last tour was a big flop also in USA she cancelled a lot of concerts because nobody bought tickets. And what about her 2 previous records? 2 enormous flop in USA and in all the world….
Madonna last record sold 5 milions in Europe and almost 2 milions in USA and her last tour was the most succesfull by a female singer!!!!!
Madonna you are the best!
WOW…CONGRATS MADONNA!!!!
Worth every penny…every penny.
What i'm most excited about is that this means Madonna will be working extra hard to produce more Tours and amazing albums….
GREAT NEWS!!!!!

Lotta Benji's……….Madge & Diddy buy the Caribbean…..news at 11.
she is worth every penny! Finally Madonna is getting the recognition she deserves! Long live the Queen of Pop!
Hilarious that media used to compare Britney to Madonna. Madonna looks better than Brit now!
Faye Duanway cut a new record deal? When did Faye Dunaway start singing?
She is the real deal .. much love and respect for her! She knows she is not a great singer but a great preformer. Britney could learn from her
madonna sucks so bad….shes getting old both physically and career wise. she gets on my nerves already. shit man retire….and by man i mean it literally. besides shes not sexy anymore….and she has OLD MAN HANDS!!!!!!EWWWWWW!!!!!!!SHES A NASTY SKANK.
I love me some MOMO, but do ya’ll think she wears them glasses so that when she looks at her ghostly pale skin it looks like it has some color? MOMO, Baby darling order me a pair because your skin is blinding. Ghost, MOMO and I are out.
How much is enough for this gap toothed non-talented has been? You made your place in history no please fuck off! Do not support her by buying her music. Instead buy the new Dropkick Murphys CD because it fucking kicks ass …. instead of taking it up the ass like M
Piggiz is a piece of shit
Twat
$325 mil? She acts like she's worth so much more than that.
duh..everyone gets old with time..now can you look as good as she does when you get to be her age is the question..Probably not..Its usually the ones who critize the most who are the most out of shape..

i don't believe the 325mil thats just an estimate and the same one for the last 10 years when clearly she has more than that and forbes once said u can't really know how much money she has.
anyway she's a great entertainer!
Damn! What is with those man hands? They're huge!!!!!!!
the rock band KORN already did this deal a few years ago. and so did robbie williams even longer ago
I hate to break it ya but this bitch is played OUT.
She's fuckin hideous with that big ugly gap in her teeth and her skeletal arms.. her video's are embarassing (humping a ghetto blaster, wtf?) and I pity her. she might have "got paid" but she's a shadow of her former self.
Nobody wants to see a grandma like her hop around on stage singing lucky star. It's a joke.
She needs to retire into seclusion and (here's a novel idea) RAISE HER FAMILY & MAKE THEM A PRIORITY.
She stinks like arrogance to me, and Im sick of seeing her ugly mug & perez you need to see her for what she really is: old and used up.
yuck.
madonna is a NO-TALENT ASS CLOWN.
God - just look at her! Nice hands, glasses, face. SHE IS OLD AND WASHED UP PEOPLE. YOU NEED TO GET OVER HER!
She is all the following and more:
1. OLD
2. Ugly
3. phony english accented Kabballist
4. whore/skank
5. has been
6. bitchy
7. selfish
8. gap-toothed
9. did I mention ugly and old
LIVE NATION HAS SOME IDIOT INVESTORS - WHO WOULD SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON THIS HAGGY WHOREY BITCH?
she is worth every penny!!!!!
Madonna Rules. All you haters can sit and rotate. And then seize up and die.
sweet news.
THE STOCK OPTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE $120 MILLION.
Madonna has incredibly large man-hands!!
I couldnt care less about the woman. She has ZERO talent.
Maybe she can buy a new pair of glasses now! LOL!!!! woooo those red specs are horrid! she's really taking her Judaism to heart she looks like Phyllis Ickestein from Boca!, try the fish it's to die for!!!! Mazotov! LOL!!!
wow she looks so young, but her hands show her true age…
A 10 year deal? She'll be damn near 60. Who in their right mind will be interested in her music then? Good for her financially IF (and I do mean if)this is true, but a mess for the company that gives her that money.
Way to go Madonna. And even when she is 60, she will be popular. Don't forget Cher had her biggest hit in her career at age 54.
LOOK AT HER FUCKING HANDS!
BITCH IS GROSS!
I thought she was worth more than that
Warner Brothers is fucking lame. Here you have the QUEEN of pop music, and you choose to not promote her in the states, not get her on radio, and not give her the recognition she deserves. In return, Madonna has the highest grossing tour by a female EVER, sells 10 million copies of her last album globally, and is the biggest selling female artist of all time…and Warner Bros had nothing to do with it. She is worth 120 million, and mush MORE. The music industry as we know is dead….get used to it! CONGRATS TO THE QUEEN!
This wench just gets greedier and greedier!!!
And you thought Nicole Ritchie had zombie hands??????
I am totally happy for Madge. She does deserve it dammit… she has longevity and truly know how to entertain, particularly in concert. I challenge anyone to disagree. She is an absolute entertainer…. FYI, she is worth MUCH more than the $300 million or so… Puhleeze, she has been earning consistently for 25 years people….HELLO! I suspect this deal is merely a drop in the bucket for her…..this is just an opportunity to stick it to the screwed up labels ripping artist off. KUDOS BABE!!
GOOD 4 U GIRL YOU MAKE THAT MONEY! YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN WHAT ANY ONE COULD EVER PAY U!
VIA LA MADONNA!
What a waste of money on this haggard, old, bat. Is Madonna even relevant anymore? That's a big, fat, fucking NO. Any idiot who shells out $120 mil for a contract, or even $12 for a CD is just that, an IDIOT. When was the last truly good album she made? About 10 years ago folks. The rest after that has just been dance club crap. And shitty dance club crap at that.
God, I'm so tired of this tired old lady! NEXT!
that is why she is Madonna! but your figures are way off.. She was worth more than 600 million 10 years ago. M has to be pushing a billion these days….
I love all the haters basically commenting on the fact that she is 50. ….EXACTLY….she is almost 50 and is doing something that people like SPEARS can't even do at 25. SHE IS LASTING. END OF STORY. WORTH EVERYTHING SHE IS GIVEN. Totally the definition of EXTREMELY HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION PAYING OFF. KUDOS
o barf. reading all of this "HAIL MADONNA" and "longevity" bullshit is making me sick. If she really worked hard and had integrity and talent, sure, I'd be happy for her success. But she's even said it herself, she's a bitch and she always wants more. She's driven, but for all the wrong reasons. There's not an ounce of warmth or humanity behind her, and whoever said that personality shows through as you age is right. All anyone can talk about when it comes to her is how "controversial" or "entertaining" she is - Does she have anything else going for her? A voice? Even her fans will admit she couldn't sing to save her life, and if dancing around on a stage is all that matters to anyone, then you've got shit for brains. She's no legend, fools. Money talks, shit walks.
Re: Stick it ED! –
LOL do you realize that being infamous for anything is not a good thing? If you had an ounce of intelligence, you'd realize that the world carries negative connotations. You're truly an embarrassment to thehuman race if you think Madonna embodies all of the qualities you listed. She's just a lowlife from Michigan who slept her way to the top. No one is flawless - she's a mere mortal, like anyone else. And by the way, I met the hag in 1980, when you were probably still in your crib, and she was a cruel, bossy drunk. Beautiful goddess, huh?
GREAT DEAL! SHE IS WORTH THAT AND MORE… I AM SO BUYING ALL HER ALBUMS AND GOING TO ALL HER CONCERTS… SO YEAH! GOOD JOB!
Darling-You can NEVER be too rich or….TOO RICH!!!
Lydia-WOW! She sure has made a whole hell of a lot of money with"zero talent"! Someone sounds real jealous! You just keep asking "do you want that supersized" and leave Madge to her millions. I'm sure when you get to be her age you just might be able to get out of the trailer park!
doesn't she have her own company- maverick? is she not good enough to sign herself up?

What happened to her??????????????????
E.T. phone home!
OH MY GOD HER HANDS SCARE THE FUCK OUT OF ME.
GOD Help Us in this photo she looks the part of an eccentric heiress, ala Barbara Hutton, this isn't so far off. Strange
TALK ABOUT ZOMBIE HANDS!!! JHC
oh, just do us all a favor and drop dead already.
One of the original vaginas, and not in a good way. Soon Lourdes will know how often mom flashed the old va jay jay for the almighty dollar.
Finally someone came up with an arguement that can not be disputed. Eventhough Whitney hasn't recorded or toured in quite some time because of blatant drug use and the behavior that goes along with it she is still BY FAR more talented than Madonna ever was and will be AND she didn't have to thrust her cooch at people either. If she truly cleans up she will not be denied, the crown will be placed firmly on her head and lets see who might tiry to knock it off, without the use of obvious pole dancing or any other contrived additives that don't add substance to mediocre talent. AND Whitney was actually believable as an actress. Try and refute this, I dare you. Side note: You know, as a woman ages her vagina gets drier. I don't think Vadge should be grinding on poles or other dancers with that thing any more, she is going to leave chaff marks.
Hopefully she will donate a huge chunk of that to charity…I somehow doubt it though…she only has about $500 million in the bank.
To those of you talking shit about Madonna….you're just JEALOUS! You hate the fact that Madonna is more successful and wealthier than you will ever be.You're just a bunch of sad, jealous nobodies with no accomplishments to speak of.Madonna has it all—-a beautiful family,a loving husband,more money than she can count,and a still-thriving career.She's living her dream,doing what the fuck SHE wants to do,and she doesn't need your permission or approval.If you don't like it,then FUCK OFF! This is her world,you just live in it.While you're sitting at your computer,talking shit,Madonna is out there making money,traveling the world,fulfilling her dreams,and doing all the fun things that your broke asses will never be able to do.You go,Madonna….make those bucks! Fuck the haters!
Re: Madame Curie –
I can't wait until your broke ass is in the same situation.At least when Madonna gets old and retires,she will have an amazing legacy to look back on and millions of dollars in the bank.What will you be doing? Sitting in a poor,roach-infested apartment,waiting for that Social Security check?? Ha ha ha!
Totally worth every damn dime she gets! Savvy girl! I remember seeing her on American Bandstand 25 years ago…she had "it"then and she has "it" now. Shes the bomb!
Madonna deserves a deal like this.She worked her ass off for so many years.Unlike many other pop stars,she is not lazy.She is constantly working on new music,new tours,children's books and other projects.She deserves every cent that she makes.Nobody handed her anything.She went out there and WORKED for what she has.To those of you talking shit,you're just jealous of her.You want what she has.
those are the most creepiest looking hands i've ever seen.
Re: JohnnyM – ah, words from another brainless drone. you just spit out the drivel as it's fed to you, don't you? i don't think you even understand a word of what you're saying. keep in mind that YOU'RE sitting on your ass in front of your computer, defending her. if she's such a goddess, then you neednt defend her. why don't you get a real job instead of being maddy baby's personal PR on a gossip site?
The rich just keep on getting richer. I read about madonna's new deal on www.globalgrind.com. If you haven't checked it out yet, do it. I'm loving it!
I hope she whipes her ass with hundred dollar bills!
HAHA.. WBR SUCKS !
mc donna.i.d.s. is a grotesque, cackling, inbred, tone-deaf, spinabifadelic, bucktooth, talent free, artless, inbred insect. A XEROX and a bottom feeder.
Only an A.I.D.S. infected moron would buy into that hideous farce!
Perez you are a toothless pug faced wad of infected pig pus.
HOW DARE YOU!!!?!? PIG!!!
Dude…Madge isn't worth 325M SHe's worth closing in on a cool BILLION!! No joke. I work for one of the firms that handle her finances.
It doesn't take long for the immature commenters to throw out the "hater" and "jealous" barbs, along with all the other vile name calling crap. Most of what you are putting out is regurgitated "say it ain't so" pap. "Madonna the strong woman, Madonna the icon", blah, blah, blah. Do you forget that the percentage of people (people that have worked for her or met her) that say nice things about her is lower than the people that say less than nice things about her (Sharon Osborne, to name just one). Methinks that Madge is a bitch and that she is not very happy most of the time. Fits in with the control freak issue and the ups and downs in her marriage. Living with Vadge must be like walking on egg shells ALL the time. Add that to the fact that she has taken whoring on stage to a new height and you have the, ahem, true "Goddess" . What do the millions or billions matter when your legacy is tainted, at best? And I'll head you off at the pass, I don't live in a trailer park or near a trailer park, I'm not jealous, I'm not hatin' or anything else. I do have the power of observation and the right to form an opinion based on that and comments from people that have met her or know her, coupled with comments she has made about herself.
Stamp your feet, hold your breath and turn blue, tell me that "Madonna rules the world" and I'm only allowed to live in it. Try every sophmoric thing in the book and I will tell you that I must have not gotten the memo. I have ,and will never, buy anything that Madonna put(s )out. She is over exposed (in most cases on stage) and over rated at this point. I truly believe that she is a self hater and that comes across in how she treats others. Why else would behave like a protitute on stage and think that she is glorifying the strenght of women? By degrading herself on stage she degrades all women. There is no strenght in that, just self hatred. Yeah, yeah, she throws money at causes, but is she a truly likeable person? I think not. Would you have your daughter emulate all that is Madonna? Think long and hard before you give a knee jerk response.
