This Is How Much Lil Wayne Gets Paid Per Word At A Concert
Lil Wayne is a rap star. He's a rock star. He's a pop star.
And he's paid like one.
According to TMZ, Tunechi gets paid $110,000 for a set of five songs that lasts 15 minutes. Not bad, right?
In addition to the money, Weezy's rider apparently also calls for a section that can house more than 20 people, 10 bottles of Dom Perignon, five bottles of Ciroc and three bottles of D’usse.
So what's it take for Wayne to earn that $110K? Let's break it down.
He makes $110,000 for five songs over 15 minutes.
Which is $22,000 per song.
And $7,333.33 per minute.
Let's guess that he performs "Lollipop," "A Milli," "How to Love," "She Will" and "Glory," -- which are some of his most popular songs, plus his most recent...
That would mean he makes a cool $42 per word (according to lyrics posted on Genius).
By saying one word, he could buy four burritos at Chipotle.
Or Tha Carter I, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV on iTunes.
And a few words could get him a new skateboard.
Or, he could donate some cash to the little people like us. Just sayin'.
