Ludacris is $100,000 richer just by one performance. The Grammy Award-winning rapper pulled in the exorbitant amount after performing at a millionaire’s very exclusive Christmas party. A rep for the rich entrepreneur Jason Hope told our source that the 33-year-old hip-hop star was paid nearly $100,000 for a 45-minute set at Hope’s place in Arizona.
