Michael Jackson is set for one of the biggest paydays in music - the reclusive star is being paid ₤5 million just to turn up at Prince Azim of Brunei's 25th birthday!
The extravagant bash takes place this weekend in an exclusive English country house.
A source close to the Prince, whose father is one of the richest men in the world, said: "Even though Michael won't be performing, the very fact that he'll be in this stately home mingling with all of Prince's pals makes it worth every penny to Azim"
Guests including Jerry Hall, Pamela Anderson and Kate Moss will enjoy everything from golf to a spa treatment and even a casino.
