Eminem has reportedly earned over $3.3m (£2 million) from his slots at last weekend's V Festival.
The rapper played both nights of the two-day event, including a 90-minute headlining set on Sunday evening on the main stage in Chelmsford, where he was joined by Rihanna.
Eminem banked $1.65m (£1million) for each of two shows, according to The Sun, with Rihanna picking up "around $823,236 (£500,000)" for each of her two nights.
The Recovery star is said to have booked the gig purposely as he could make more money than if he had performed a proper stadium show.
"Eminem is a smart guy. Him and his management know they'll make cash quicker and without the hassle of organizing and promoting gigs. He has few overheads. He only needs roadies and a DJ," a source told the paper.
The musician was recently named the 'King of Hip-Hop' by Rolling Stone magazine.
