The unnamed businessman paid for Michael to entertain his 300 guests with an hour-long concert. The lavish party took place on his private estate 20 miles outside Moscow, the star's spokeswoman said. The £1.5 million sum is believed to make Michael the highest paid entertainer in modern Russian history. He was flown out to the billionaire's mansion with his 20-strong entourage of band and backing singers. An insider said: "The businessman contacted George directly and asked him to perform. He has a vast private estate just outside Moscow and had turned his sports hall into a nightclub especially for the party. "It was a fun night and George was back home in Britain by morning." Other stars who have picked up big cheques include Christina Aguilera, reportedly paid £1 million for performing three songs at the wedding of Russian oligarch Andrei Melnichenko in September 2005.
