Socialite Vera Sidika has opened up on how much she charges for club gigs and appearances.
In an interview with Clouds TV, Vera disclosed that club hosting is good business for her as she can make up to Ksh600, 000 in an international club.
“When I’m in Kenya, my club appearance fee is different from Tanzania, Uganda or going to China or Malaysia or even the USA. Because when I travel to America to host an event I consider it’s like 25-hour flight, so that’s like a whole day wasted,” she said.
Adding, “Then you just won’t just do the club appearance and leave you have to rest for like 3 days.International shows are more expensive. My international fee is from 6,000 dollars (Ksh600, 000) upwards.”
“The promoter purchases a first class ticket and books me into a 5-star hotel. When it’s a show in East Africa I am a bit more flexible since it’s about an hour’s flight so I charge at least 3,000 dollars and locally in Nairobi I charge 2,000 dollars,” Vera revealed.
“I got a job that earned me a lot of money at once. I had a tender in Nigeria to do some abstract paintings as I’m an artist, they were opening a hotel.” She noted.
“I got a deal to create 55 paintings and each painting was 15,000-10,000 dollars. The project earned me more than 500,000 dollars,” Vera concluded.
