Mariah Carey and Tom Jones will each earn £1 million to open a new resort.
The 39-year-old diva and the 68-year-old Welsh singer will each sing a
one-hour set to open an exclusive £926 million development in Turkey – said
to be the most expensive resort in Europe.
The Mardan Resort in Antalya is owned by Russian tycoon Telman Ismailov –
who also once reportedly paid Jennifer Lopez £1 million to sing ‘Happy
Birthday’ to him - who is determined for the grand unveiling of his hotel to
be a breathtaking affair.
A source close to the tycoon said: “Telman is not a man who hesitates when
it comes to throwing big parties.
“He wants the opening of the hotel to be a major event and insisted Tom and
Mariah be booked to perform, no matter what the cost.”
The Mardan Resort features five acres= of fresh water swimming pools and has
a sunken aquarium stocked with over 2,000 fish as its centrepiece. The hotel
boasts 560 rooms, and the best suite costs £13,000-a-night.
Many stars, including Sharon Stone and Sir Paul McCartney, have also been
invited to attend the opening on May 23.
