He may not be a close friend to the Catholic Church and their doctrines but Sir is very close with the idea of making millions after signing a new deal in Las Vegas

Sir Elton John could never go broke for the rest of his life after inking a multimillion-dollar deal in Las Vegas early this week!

Did you know he bought a million-dollar piano? Well, he did and that's because the multiple award singer can damn well afford it!

Latest reports say the British born suuperstar has just rubbished pop princess Britney Spears' Vegas deal by signing a $500K per show contract in Las Vegas.

What makes it even crazy is the fact that his crowd is smaller than Britney's yet he gets the bigger cheque!

While the "Toxic" singer is collecting $475K to perform for 4,600 people per show at Planet Hollywood, the "Sacrifice" crooner gets $500K for a crowd of 4,296 at The Colosseum!

According to TMZ, Elton’s deal makes him get 88% of the door for every show and also has a sign off on ticket prices, which range from $55 to $1,000 for VIP seats.The site also claims the show began Friday and runs through April 14.

Now, how's that for being a well-respected evergreen singer and songwriter!
