Ruslan Bely is a popular Russian comedian, an active participant in the Comedy Club show, the Seventh Heaven KVN team, as well as TV projects of the TNT channel Laughter Without Rules, Slaughter League, Killing Night and Comedy Battle, host of the Stand show Up. Millions of fans throughout the post-Soviet space want to know the financial condition of their idol.
The residents of Comedy Club eloquently prove to us that high-quality humor today is at a special price. A whole series of Russian comedians have nailed to Forbes ratings, including Sergei Svetlakov, Semyon Slepakov, and Pavel Volya. Today, comedy shows are an excellent platform for nurturing young talents who quickly reach the heights of fame and popularity.
In this regard, Ruslan Bely fits this trend very illustratively. After all, the domestic "Stand-Up" owes a lot to its guru. Many people do not just smile at his jokes, but laugh like a hussar. The manner of the "Voronezh philosopher" to joke and play on topical topics related to gender contradictions and the life of rich compatriots is to the taste of almost all fans of this genre.
Currently, the talented comedian has already grown quite strong as one of the leaders of domestic comedians. Therefore, he is the producer of many new projects and tours the country with solo concert programs. Many believe that Bely's rich professional activity is primarily associated with the economic aspect. Although it is never too late to turn to the wisdom of our ancestors, who believed that "you can't earn all the money anyway."
And since Ruslan does not provide a declaration of his income, which could be analyzed with public access to this information, it is possible to draw generalized thematic conclusions only approximately. For a long time, the interested audience was content only with the statements of the artist himself, who regularly spoke about the fact that he had to work very hard, ensuring himself a comfortable old age in the future. However, the expert opinion of people close to the "stand-up party" suggests that Bely is simply pardoning in order to avoid envy among his colleagues.
Today the popular stand-up is one of the wealthiest comedians in our country. This alone makes it clear enough that this artist has long earned a comfortable existence. This means that he can certainly afford to allow himself to enjoy not only the results of his creativity, but also the money he earned.
However, Ruslan actually has a small fee from general concerts, since the box office has to be divided among all the participants of the event and spent on related costs in the form of renting premises, technical staff services and other thematic expenses. Solo performances are another matter, when the money collected from an audience of 1-2 thousand people in the main part goes to the artist's fee. In this case, the amount of remuneration is already about 1 million rubles.
Concerts
It is surprising that, despite the crisis raging in the country, many people today can afford to attend a concert with the participation of their favorite artist. But often the prices for such events really "bite". For example, the minimum cost of a ticket to the Crocus City Hall is 1,500 rubles. And the capacity of the hall is 7,233 seats. And even when calculating the average statistical attendance, which is 4,290 people, it becomes clear that the artist's fee is calculated in the amount of several million rubles per performance.
Corporate events
Being one of the most popular artists of the humorous genre in our country, Ruslan Bely asks for quite serious fees for his performances at corporate events. According to the agency that organizes the performances of this comedian, his usual amount of remuneration for a half-hour event is at least 550,000 rubles. And this does not apply to New Year's performances and corporate parties outside the Moscow region.
The main advantage of this kind of performances is their remuneration formula, which provides only the artist's fee. Thus, it is easy to calculate the hypothetical possibilities of a comedian to become rich. The only thing that can make Ruslan Bely not relax is the short age of stand-ups. After all, young and ambitious artists, who do not pay attention to the merits of their more famous comrades in the creative workshop, are already "breathing threateningly" in his back. It is this calculation that can prompt the "Voronezh philosopher" to profitably invest the money earned in securities or business.
Show
Of course, the main audience perceives Ruslan Bely primarily as the ideological inspirer and host of the Stand Up project, organized by TNT in 2013.
According to the producer V. Dusmukhametov, in the comedy genre there is a constant process of growing up star artists. Moreover, the understandable and popular genre Comedy Club has brought up on its stage many talented comedians who "grew out of their panties" and are trying to do something beyond the framework of this project.
In 2018, Ruslan Bely launched a new show "Comedian in the City", the essence of which boils down to playing talentedly and funnyly local topical problems during his tour of the cities of Russia. However, this project also has a “flip side of the coin” associated with the unwillingness of some viewers to come to terms with this kind of irony about their small homeland.
And even despite the confidential nature of the fees of the artists who have signed a contract with the television channel TNT, it is quite obvious that their size is quite substantial.
