Jay Z – $20 Million
Jay Z is one of the most well-known people in show business, so it was a good idea for Samsung to use the rapper as a promoter of the Samsung Galaxy phone. He brought home $20 million for this gig! A lot of people probably want to use a Galaxy phone just because their idol uses one. The company witnessed an immediate improvement in social media followers and online traffic after this, so it was a good move on their part. This was a win-win situation for both the phone company and the musician. Not only did he get to promote his album by doing so, but he also got a big fat paycheck for this marketing ploy. Don’t you wish that you can bring home millions of dollars just for using a Samsung phone? Sigh.

Beyonce – $50 Million
There is no doubt that Beyonce is one of the most famous people in this day and age. This lady is not only talented but also fierce. She has an incredibly big fan base, which explains why Pepsi was willing to shell out $50 million for her endorsement. As you can see, it takes a lot of money if you want to hire someone with such a mesmerizing voice and stunning beauty! At any rate, the soda company had no qualms about paying so much money just to have her be the face of the brand. Sadly, this did not end up being the best decision Pepsi has ever made. In the end, the sales only went down by 4 to 7%. Oops.
