BRITISH music superstar Adele will reportedly make £500,000 (RM2.85 million) a night during her Las Vegas residency, which will begin this weekend. That would make her one of the highest-paid female stars in the history of the US gambling hotspot.
Prices for tickets to Weekends With Adele at Caesars Palace's Colosseum range from £700 to £9,000. In addition to ticket sales, Adele will be getting money from the merchandise sales.
On top of all that, the powerhouse singer will allegedly have access to Caesars £30,000-a-night private suite, with luxury benefits like a butler, executive assistant, chauffeur and security.
The current record for revenues made during a Las Vegas residence belongs to Celine Dion, who made more than £461 million. Other artists in the same range of financial compensation include Elton John and Britney Spears.
In 2011, Rod Steward signed an eye-watering US$50 million contract for 18 shows, making about US$2.7million per show.
The Colosseum, where Adele will perform, has previously hosted residencies from other legendary artists, including Mariah Carey, Cher, among others.
Adele’s latest album, 30, which came after a prolonged absence from the music scene, shot to the top of the charts within hours of its release back in November. – The Vibes, January 18, 2022
