Abramovich once paid $1 million for Beyonce to sing at raucous New Year's party

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich once spend millions of dollars on a crazy New Year's party that included a performance by Beyonce.

The Russian billionaire hosted a special event at the St Barts island back in 2010 with Orlando Bloom, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lindsay Lohan in attendance.

Gwen Stefani was paid £380,000 to host the event while Beyonce and Prince each received £900,000 for individual performances.

A further £1.98 million was spent on food and drink, and yachts and private jets were used to transport Abramovich's guests to and from the island estate.
