Elton John reveals he was paid just '£15 a week' when he started out - but now has a £450million fortune


Elton John has opened up on his struggle to make it big in the industry, recalling a time where he was paid just £15 a week.

And looking back on his over fifty year career, Elton, 77, who reportedly has a net worth between $550-$650 million, has told how that struggle to achieve his dream gave him a 'backbone' and allowed him to really 'appreciate' his success. The Pink Pony Club hitmaker, 27, had joined Elton on stage at his annual post Oscars party on Sunday night, where they duetted on a number of tracks including Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
