Victoria and David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn is to inherit part of Elton John's fortune when he dies, it has been revealed.

The pampered firstborn is one of the Rocket Man's godchildren, and as such is set to receive a share of Elton's £175m wealth.

The flower-loving legend has no children of his own, and so plans to leave his money to his ten godchildren, who include Brooklyn, Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian and John Lennon's youngest son Sean.

"David (Furnish) and I are godfathers to Brooklyn and Damian. I have about ten godchildren. I love kids," Elton said, reports The Sun.

"There was a part of me going 'Who am I going to leave this to?' It was going to be nobody.

"We have enough godchildren to leave everything to now. They're going to inherit a fair old whack, but they play a big part in our lives."

The Beckham's second son Romeo is also rumoured to be another lucky godchild — but it remains to be seen whether tot no. 3, due in March, will count Elton among his godparents.
