The rapper reportedly shelled out a staggering $2.8 million for the singer-songwriter to perform at the exclusive event — and that was just for three songs!

According to E! Online, Lana performed three numbers at the party, including her 2012 hit Summertime Sadness.

Anyone who’s been following Kimye’s love story for a while will know the pair are massive fans of the American singer. Kanye even hired a live orchestra to perform Young and Beautiful during his big proposal.

It was originally rumoured Lana turned down the invitation to perform at the engagement in October 2013, although she has since denied this.

John Legend and Andrea Bocelli also serenaded the newlyweds and 600 guests at the wedding. We can only imagine how much Kimye forked out for those two.
