Egyptian superstar Amr Diab held a huge concert on New Year's Eve in Dubai.
It's a known fact that stars ask for a huge paycheck for such concerts on such special events.
Last year, it was also in Dubai that Amr Diab held his New Year's Eve party, and he was paid $500,000.
Well, that was last year, because this year the paycheck got bigger and heavier!
Diab was paid a whopping $650,000!
What do you think of that?!
On another level, Diab's upcoming album is set for a February 14th release, just in time for Valentine's Day!
Amr Diab's 'El Helm' -The Dream- documentary, which is airing on Rotana, has gotten high ratings and is a success.
'El Helm' follows Amr Diab's long road to stardom.
Are you watching it? What do you think?

i'm sorry a star of his calibur in the west 500,000 or 650,000 would be considered an insult and chump change!
in the west ... but NOT in Egypt where $1 almost equal 6 Egyptian pounds and the average salary is less than $100!
He deserves it..... he even deserves more!!! :) i love u amr <3 <3
here is my 2 cents, AMR IS OLD! his voice is not like before and is still a snoop on stage! i dont like him!
He's awsome, love all his songs...
that paycheck ($650,000) was donated to the people of Ghaza i heard.. God be with them.
When is he going to wake up and realize he's a 47 year old man? At least Hani Shaker acts his age and doesn't dance with girls who are almost the same age as his daughter
dont hate marwan... :@ he is a very good singer.... and most of the arab world love amr diab..... as for hani shaker: he does have girls his daughter's age in his clips :P and hani shaker is boring and amr diab has alot more fans than he does... in my opinion
Palestinegrl08, I don't hate Amr but Hani is not boring like you said... his songs are great and he has lots of fans who enjoy beautiful, classy music unlike today's trash and by the way he had a concert in Jericho and he's a preparing a song about Palestine which is really good news.
650K? Thats it?!
I somehow thought Arab stars got more. They cater to a Billion People!!
One Word: Legend
A true music legend that has become a landmark in Middle Eastern music.
i knw he is... and i respect him and all the ppl that like his songs.... but the song isnt gonna do much for the ppl in gaza.... but its the least the arab singers can do for the gaza ppl... :)
