Leona Lewis' expensive date

Monday, 23 June 2008

Leona Lewis is reportedly set to get £1million for any personal appearances she makes - putting her in the same league as legendary former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.

The Bleeding Love star has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame since winning the X Factor in 2006 - and can demand huge amounts of cash to perform intimate gigs for wealthy fans.

The star has been offered a £1 million personal appearance fee to play a small set for an unknown bidder.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "Leona is one of the most sought after stars around.

"She has little say in the fee charges - big money sponsors literally name their fee and her management respond accordingly.

"She is adamant much of the profit goes straight back to her favourite charities."

Lewis, who has hit the top spot in both the U.K. and U.S. album charts with her debut LP Spirit, is reportedly worth £6 million - but gives most of her money away to charity organisations.

She has just got back to the UK after spending several months in the US.

The 23-year-old told fans on her website: "I have been busy catching up on sleep anD washing since being back in the UK!

"Since I got back to the UK I've also been doing some photo shoots and visiting Europe - Germany and France to name a few!

"It's been great being home and getting to Europe again, I've really enjoyed performing over there and meeting everyone!"
