Ariana Grande — My Humble Beginnings … Weren’t So Humble

EXCLUSIVE

Everyone has to start at the bottom in Hollywood … well, almost everyone — because we found out Ariana Grande has been getting baller perks ever since she was a kid.

We got hold of Ariana’s first entertainment contract for the 2009 Nickelodeon show “Victorious.”  She raked in $ 9,000 per episode for the first season — not terrible for an unknown 16-year-ancient.

She got even more for prose songs for the show … $ 4K for a theme song, $ 3K for a song played in various episodes, and $ 1,500 for a 20-second ditty.

She got another composition contract to record up to 5 albums — with a guarantee that starts at $ 50K for the first album and goes up from there.

Best part — her contract promises that other than “marquee” stars like Victoria Justice — no one would have a better dressing room than hers.
