The diva has lashed out at the Russian edition of Forbes magazine after it claimed she earned engagement fees of $7.5 million in the past year.

Anna’s response on social media: ‘Your information is absolutely wrong! Stop lying!!! I’m not complaining about my salary, but your numbers are ridiculous! My resentment has no limit!’

    Ok if she sez so. But has she paid her taxes?

    • Ungeheuer says:

      And if she has, at which tax bracket? That of your average H&M shopper? Or of your average oligarch, Russian or otherwise?

  • John says:

    Who. Cares?

  • RA says:

    Nobody cares

  • Andrey says:

    Maybe the given numbers were way too low?? 🙂

  • Una says:

    Who bloody well cares? Half the world is starving … She’s so high-profile, she won’t get away with paying no tax. And you can’t take anything with you when you die. So who cares?

    • John says:

      So Anna can end world hunger. I suppose all the pop stars who make ten times as much should sign over all their checks, too. Get over yourself.

      • Max Grimm says:

        Come now, John. Una must have been joking or she was being sarcastic. As much as I try to imagine it, I can’t see anyone earnestly believing that being “high profile” means that one “won’t get away with paying no tax”.

      • Una says:

        John, I did NOT suggest she feeds the world! It was my own way of putting things in perspective and what matters to me. I don’t really care what she earns. In the end all will be left behind … that’s all I said. No hidden meaning, and certainly not sarcastic …

    Ask her to Prove it!

  • SoCal Dan says:

    A Russian edition of Forbes magazine?! What an amazing world we live in.

  • Pedro says:

    She, Anja Harteros, Nina Stemme and Karita Mattila deserve every penny they earn.

  • Dave says:

    We are not amused!

  • Ben says:

    Mental note for YW: A case study in becoming _the_ diva with boat load of money, without exposing much skin.

    Anyone see the critics’ new Guardian survey? worth consideration as to WHY today’s “league” are neglected.
    They can’t all be 80-year-old deaf idiots who mourn their youth!
    Not that anyone cares, as long as the money machine keeps turning….
