"Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" is a song by American singer–songwriter Lady Gaga from her debut studio album, The Fame (2008). It was released as a promotional single from the album on September 16, 2008. Written by the singer and its producer Rob Fusari in 2006, it is an uptempo dance-pop and disco-funk song that makes heavy use of synthesizers. The lyrics focus on Gaga's experiences as a struggling artist in the Lower East Side.
The song was met with critical acclaim, with reviewers complimenting the lyrics and the fun nature of the song. It also achieved minor commercial success, peaking at number 83 on the UK Singles Chart. Two versions were released of the song's accompanying music video – one was intercut with clips of the ABC series Dirty Sexy Money, serving as a promotion for the show, and the other was the full-length video. Both versions feature Gaga and company dancing around in a mansion and burning money. Gaga has performed the song live on various occasions, including on her first headlining the Fame Ball Tour, where she performed the song while wearing a futuristic bustier with silver triangular panels, and later included it in the setlist of the Monster Ball Tour, and her Las Vegas residency, Enigma.
