Music videos have become an important part of promoting an artist. That is why singers and bands do not spare neither strength nor resources to make the best, the most unexpected and the catchiest video. But such a video clip requires a lot of money, sometimes budget of the music video can be compared with the one for a movie. Below are Top 5 expensive music videos in the world.
1.    Puff Daddy featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes – Victory. It is not a secret that every rap singer wants to stand out wasting thus large sums of money. In this video they joined not only their talents but their purses as well. Such a cooperation resulted in $ 2,7 million.

2.    Guns N’ Roses – Estranged. The video has become a final part of unofficial trilogy of videos. The price of the clip is $ 4 million. The sum is quite understandable as participation of bottlenose dolphins, SWAT members and oil tanker in the video is too pricey.

3.    Madonna – Die Another Day. The song was released alongside the James Bond film of the same name. The video shows Madonna being tortured in a number of ways while Good Madonna and Bad Madonna duel with a variety of weapons—from fencing foils to harpoon guns—in her subconscious. The total production costs for the video were over $6 million making it the third expensive music video ever.

4.    Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson – Scream. I would call this video no less than a black and white science fiction/pop masterpiece. Both Jacksons dancing along the walls and ceilings of a spaceship while anime and pop art are featured on displays throughout. The budget of the video is $ 7 million.

5.    30 Seconds to Mars – From Yesterday. The band paid $ 8 million to get access to the entirety of People’s Republic of China. The whole cost is $ 12 million, and it is the most expensive music video in the world so far.
