Travis Scott earned $20 million for a virtual concert in Fortnite

Travis Scott’s concert in the Fortnite game not only broke attendance records, but also brought the rapper $ 20 million. This is several times more than the income from his most successful live performance.Forbes reports that the amount earned by Scott includes not only the fee for the virtual event, but also the proceeds from the sale of merchandise.

For comparison, last year the most successful concert brought the rapper $ 1.7 million, and for the entire Astroworld tour he earned $ 53.5 million.

According to Forbes sources, Scott also earned at least $1 million for the PlayStation deal. As part of the collaboration, he appeared in a PS5 commercial and became a creative partner of the brand. Presumably, this deal is designed for several years and in the future may bring the rapper another $ 20 million.

Travis Scott’s performance at Fortnite, which took place in April this year, was simultaneously watched by 12.3 million players, and a total of 27.7 million unique users attended the event.
