Beyonce – $50 Million
There’s no denying Beyonce is one of today’s most prominent celebrities. Not only is this lady gifted, but she is also passionate. She has a huge fan base, and Pepsi was prepared to spend $50 million on her behalf. As you’ve seen, hiring someone with such a fantastic voice and gorgeous looks costs a lot! The soda company had no hesitations over spending so much money to have her be the brand’s ambassador. Tragically, it wasn’t the best decision Pepsi ever made. Ultimately, sales only tumbled by 4 – 7%. Oops.

50 Cent – $80 Million
How was 50 Cent among the best-paid celebrity endorsers? Well, it was when Reebok paid the rapper $80 million. His face was used to promote G Unit Sneakers, meaning he was paid a fortune to wear and model them. It became history’s most successful commercial after it aired. By getting 50 Cent for the role, the company certainly acted correctly. Sales of Rebook went up quickly. It turns out that Reebok’s sales were so high that it was hard to store the shoes at the holiday season.
