Pay scale
Dear Gang,
In the 1990s, Lucy was puling down about $25,000 a night, according to a National Geographic television special on Egypt during that time. She paid the band and her singers and do-woppers out of that, but she was still pretty darn rich. Fifi is the highest paid dancer ever, according to Al-Ahram in some article I read a few years ago. At one time, Soheir Zaki and other dancers were charged a retroactive entertainment tax of some sort and Ms. Zaki owed something like 1 million Egyptian pounds. She was not amused.
Regards,
A'isha
