Grammy Award-winning performer Madonna reportedly received a £6.5 million ($13 million) paycheck for a one-time modeling stint.

According to reports, Madonna is currently promoting the new range of bags of Louis Vuitton, unfortunatley for some men not in lingerie or bikini but in normal clothing! In exchange, she received the generous pay.

Her photographer for the shoot was Steven Meisel, the same one who worked with Madonna on her best-selling book Sex which was released in 1992.

The 50-year old singer-actress is also in talks to advertise a new range of clothes for the same fashion brand.

Despite this reports, a representative for the singer refused to confirm if Madonna did receive the hefty talent fee. Last weekend, the pop star was seen hanging out with head designer Marc Jacobs in Hollywood.

Madonna is now divorced from British director Guy Ritchie after the judge granted the request earlier this week. The details of the divorce terms are yet to be announced although there have been claims that both have settled the division of their properties. During the course of their marriage, Madonna was linked to several male celebrities most recently to baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

Lourdes, Madonna’s 12-year old daughter from a previous relationship, will still continue living with her mother.
