How much would it cost to get YouTube global sensation PSY to perform at your party?

According to Malaysia’s ABN News, he is reportedly charging a minimum of $1 million. It’s the price the ruling Malaysian political coalition Barisan Nasional is paying the K-pop star to appear at their annual Chinese New Year event next Monday to dance and sing his ubiquitous tune “Gangnam Style.”

His short appearance means he is more expensive to book than Justin Bieber, who would be paid that same $1 million for an entire concert in Malaysia’s capital of Kuala Lumpur.

Since PSY uploaded his infamous song many months ago, “Gangnam Style” has reportedly earned upwards of $8 million in ad revenue and is the first video to reach the billion views mark.
