Shimenawa Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I don't think the cost of album creation is public. So this is only the ones that have been reported or speculation Edited April 3 by Shimenawa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgaga1fan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 26 minutes ago, shyboi said: i thought ARTPOP was very expensive? or was the album rollout? Most of the money (25 mil) went to Gaga herself. The recording budget was less than 10 million. She got 15 million of it to do what she wanted. Actual album was probably like 5 million. She got clauses about renegotiating contracts and stuff as well. Edited April 3 by lgaga1fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her $50M deal with Pepsi paid for ST and the videos as well as tour costs. For Lemonade she had the Topshop/Ivy Park deal before she fully bought Ivy Park from Topshop. For The Gift/Black is King, Disney paid her 25M for the role of an Nala. For Renny/CC she had Tiffany's/Lexus and Verizon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
