Mariah Gets $1.5 Million for Less Than an Hour of Work

It's really, really, really nice to be Mariah Carey.

According to the Sun, she will be paid $1.5 MILLION to sing at the opening of The Mardan Palace Hotel in Antalya, Turkey on May 23.

Owned by a Russion tycoon, the luxury hotel cost $1 BILLION to build.

Get this: Her performance will be under one hour long. Let's say, for the point of conversation, she decides to be play for an hour, that's $25,000 per minute. How do we get that job?

Are we, or are we not in a recession?! Is CNN lying to us?

Singer Tom Jones, who will also perform, will get $1.5 million, too.
