![Jamiroquai - It'll apparently cost 500k to have Jamiroquai come and perform at your party. But the cost doesn't end there. You'll need to provide accomodation for the band (five star hotel) and the crew if they have to stay the night (four star hotel). Jay Kay needs a suite, and then you'll need to book 18 single rooms with king size beds. The additional rider is just 'usual band rider stuff', so that's a silver lining.]()

![Lily Allen - Apparently it will cost 150,000 pounds to have Lily appear at your party - but she'll sing to a backing track, not with a band. Obviously she'll need petrol money and somewhere to stay too. That was in 2008, though, so perhaps it'll cost more to get her away from her family now.]()
