The Post has discovered that British chart-topper Adele, who declined an invitation to serenade King Charles at his coronation, has signed the largest deal in Las Vegas history for a prolonged Sin City residency. A source close to the diva and familiar with the calculations told The Post that the “Hello” singer stands to make approximately $2 million for each performance at Caesars Palace.
According to the reports, the multi-Grammy winner will earn a guaranteed $105 million from her 60-show engagement to appear at The Colosseum (the initial run of 26 performances concluded on April 16). The numbers were verified by a third party.
According to the first person with knowledge of Adele’s contract, this works out to $1.75 million per performance, with a 5% bonus added if ticket sales minus expenses surpass her nightly gain. It is estimated that her take-home income would increase to around $2 million once the new run begins on June 16. Ticket revenues are expected to average $2.5 million after expenses.
