Elton John has bumped Britney Spears in her Vegas run by hauling in more than $500K a show.

According to his deal he gets 88% of the door for every show, TMZ reports. He also has a sign off on ticket prices, which range from $55 to $1,000 for VIP seats.

Not that we would want to compare apples with oranges, but Elton is putting Britney's $475K take a show to shame, because he's doing it with fewer seats. The Colosseum only seats 4,296 while Britney's show at Planet Hollywood has 4,600.

Celine Dion, Cher and Rod Stewart have all held residencies in the prestigious venue where Elton will perform until April.
