(Gibson) The Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to perform at perhaps the world's most expensive New Year's Eve bash, London's The Telegraph has reported.

Roman Abramovich, the billionaire Russian oligarch known for throwing extravagant parties, has hired the veteran rockers to entertain at the exclusive event, which will be held at Abramovich's estate on the Caribbean island of St Barts. The 45-year-old Abramovich, who owns the Chelsea football club, is spending more than 5 million pounds (approximately $7,850,000) to entertain the 300 guests expected to attend. Those invited have been told to wear "island chic" to the celebration, which will run from 10 pm to 4 am.

The Chili Peppers take-home pay for the performance has not been revealed. In other news, however, the New York Post has reported that Stevie Wonder will be compensated $1 million to sing at this year's New Year's Eve celebration at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. more on this story
