How much do Cirque du Soleil performers get paid?
88071
From a CNN Interview\n\nCOLLINS: Now 28 and an acrobat in the Las Vegas show Mystere, Danielle is considered a veteran performer. Cirque pays its performers a yearly salary ranging from $30,000 for an apprentice to more than $100,000 for an established artist. After 10 years, Danielle wonders what's next.

It all depends on your popularity, just like how a smalltime singer might earn nothing compared to a platinum-selling-pop-sensation.\nI believe the minimum could be $300 a show, average could be $500-$1000 in Toronto area.. it could go up depending on where they have to DJ. Some DJ's are flown into different cities hence they have travel expense covered.

I make about $40-50 an hour when I do sound (I'm primarily a musician) and my assitants get about $20 an hour. The guy whose studio I play in gets paid about $180 an hour when he does live shows. Some guys work for salary (a fixed amount for a fixed number of shows on a tour). It all depends on how well you are known, how big the system and venue is, and whether you are the FOH (front of house) or monitor engineer.

They are typically paid per scene. It can be 2 or 3 thousand per sex scene. \n\nThey get more than men.

For the skaters you see on tv and even from about Novice and up they can be $700 and a lot more, but for kids younger then that they can go to $20 to probably $200 that would be like for a kid who is very good, and had a good chance of making it to a high level

almost $1000 +. even the stars who go there must pay.

most actors do earn scale wages.  This is generally not paid to the stars of shows, which are the ones that you're thinking about.  Union scale is what the 'extras' and the actors with 1 line or actors in the background earn.

They are given $400.00 a week for clothes to wear on the show. Other than that, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what it is but I am sure they are paid good. It would probably be according also to how many hours they fly.............

Yes, they do.  They spend their time on the show, and they expect to be compensated.  The only people I know that wouldn't care about an appearance fee are fans of the show or just people who want to get on TV.

Some of them make six figures. Check my source for more details =)

Would anyone pay to go see professional cheerleaders perform?

You can ignore at least two scammers on this list.  Those who are suggesting pole dancing or prostitution: $25 per hour is not much at all for that - I reckon good pole dancers do better and successfull hookers MUCH better.   But do I know for sure that about ten years ago you could make £40 per hour (that would be about $75 ish) walking up and down Sandyside Beach in Caithness with a geiger counter.

$90,000 - $225,000 per year/season.

Actualyy i don't think they get paid THAT much, if at all... especially in comparison to their pro contracts.  They consider it an honor to represent their countries, kind of like the Olympics, I think.

All of this depends on the terms of the contract that is signed. Generally, artists would be considered to have a pretty good deal if they're earning about 10-15 points on a record ("points" is just an industry term for percent). But out of those 10 points, you have to pay your manager, producer, mixing engineer, recording engineer, publicist, etc. The amount that an artist keeps is generally around 5% of gross album sales (this can obviously vary quite a bit though).\n\nThis is how it works: The record company will give a band an "advance". Let's say $250,00. The band will go out and buy Porches or gold teeth or ponies or whatever they want to blow it on. But this money is "recoupable" by the record company, as is the cost of recording the album. What does that mean? The band doesn't make a single cent until all of that money is paid back to the record company. It gets a bit trickier with online distribution though, with most artists getting a higher percentage of sales.\n\nMerchandise like T-Shirts, lunchboxes, action figures, blow up dolls (whatever) generally is done outside of the record company, but sometimes they'll take a bite out of those sales as well.\n\nTouring, in most cases, is similar to recording. The label will generally give a band X amount of money for touring, which is recoupable. These days, most bands make more money off touring than album sales.\n\nIf you want to read a really interesting article, check out Steve Albini's "The Problem With Music".
