ABS-CBN's top comedian Vice Ganda is said to be the highest paid concert artist in Smart Araneta Coliseum (Big Dome) raking in as much as P5 million in his two concerts, May Nag-text... Yung Totoo, Vice Ganda sa Araneta and Eto Na, Vice Ganda. Todong Sample sa Araneta.

In an entertainment report published in the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), matinee idol-turned-concert producer Joed Serrano said he paid Vice P2 million for his first major concert, May Nag-Text... Yung Totoo, Vice Ganda sa Araneta in 2010.
Vice, at first, didn't want to have a concert at Araneta Coliseum because the venue was too large, but the producer challenged him, offering him a blank check. The comedian then reacted by writing down P2 million in the cheque as a daring back-response.
Joed, however, accepted the deal. The concert happened and his risks paid off.
The second Vice Ganda concert which Joed also produced, Eto Na, Vice Ganda. Todong Sample Sa Araneta, also succeeded with Vice Ganda being reportedly paid P3 million.
