The reunited pop group played their final London gig in the former Millennium Dome in Greenwich last night before heading to Manchester today.

The unprecedented success of the concerts has left Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell dividing £50 million.

It is thought to be one of the most lucrative stretches of gigs for any group performing in Britain, with nearly 400,000 people paying up to £75 to see them. The women will have profited more than other artists to have played at the arena because they have commanded a higher than average ticket sales for a multiple night run.

An O2 source said: "It's been a huge success for them and this run of gigs at the O2 will probably be the icing on the cake of their reunion. Barbra Streisand had high ticket prices but only did three nights while Prince did 21 nights but sold tickets for next to nothing - not many groups can sell out 17 gigs at £75 a ticket, it's quite an achievement."

Among the audience for last night's concert was David Beckham and his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz as well as Bob Geldof, who was there with his daughter Pixie.

David Campbell, chief executive of the O2 told the Standard: "It's been a lovely, friendly, family atmosphere over the past few weeks, we have really enjoyed having the girls here."

He said the venue still hoped to book Michael Jackson later this year.
