From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists the most expensive music videos ever made, with costs of $500,000 or more. Janet Jackson leads with six videos on the list, while Michael Jackson and Ayumi Hamasaki have five. Madonna have made four appearances. Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, Mylène Farmer, Guns N' Roses, and MC Hammer appear on the list twice. Joseph Kahn has directed four videos on this list while Hype Williams and Wataru Takeishi have directed three videos on the list. Nigel Dick, Mark Romanek and John Landis appear twice on this list, the latter with videos both directed for Michael Jackson.
Titles in bold were the most expensive of all time at the time of their production.
Mark Romanek, the director of the, as known, most expensive music video, Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream", has refuted the claim saying that there were two other music videos from the same era which cost "millions more" than the video for "Scream".[1]
