Sir Paul McCartney raked-in more than 1 million dollars to perform at billionaire Ron Baron's New York investment conference, it has been revealed.

The 72-year-old rockstar and Carrie Underwood, who was also paid a hefty amount, performed at Baron Capital's investors meeting at the Metropolitan Opera House, the New York Post reported.

A spokesman for Baron Capital said that the entire event was paid for by Baron Capital and McCartney put on a great show and there was not one person sitting down in the whole place.

McCartney and Underwood played to 4,000 investors after a performance from the cast of "Show Boat," including Vanessa Williams.
