History. The concept of a concert residency was established by pianist and singer Liberace with a 1944 debut in Las Vegas. Nearly ten years later, Liberace had his own show at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which reportedly earned "Mr. Showtime" around $50,000 per week.

Additionally, Shelton earns about $1 million per concert. However, he doesn't get to pocket all of that money. Instead, portions of it go to bookers, promoters, tour crew, Shelton's band, and several other people who make those concerts possible. In 2021, Shelton sold his extensive music catalog.

We're talking millions of dollars for a residency, folks. Singers like Celine Dion and Britney Spears have raked in hundreds of millions over the course of their Vegas runs.
