Cost of Music Videos

Here's a rundown of the 10 most expensive music videos ever (as of whenever the article was written).
I'd settle for the budget for Michael Jackson's makeup on "Scream", the #1 video on the list.
On the flip side, this Sarah McLachlan video was made in '04 for $15 - the price of a DV tape. They had a $150,000 budget, but gave it all to charity, as outlined in the video. I guess if you're not getting paid, there's no point in practicing your camera moves (or getting out of the way before the playback starts).
This blog gives a rundown of where it all went, in case you don't think you can sit through a Sarah McLachlan video.
