In 1997 it was estimated that she got around 10 million USD for giving a private concert for the Sultan of Brunei.

On February 23rd, Celine performs in a private concert for His Majesty Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji HASSANAL Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan of Brunei, one of the richest person in the world. Every year, for the national holiday, the Sultan invites an international star for a "private" party, where the most famous people from Brunei are invited. A few years ago, the Sultan invited Michael Jackson, and paid him US$10M for a single concert. We don't know how much Celine received, but I would guess around US$10M.
