There's more than one temperature in a star, just like there is more than one temperature on Earth. Just like Earth, stars have different parts.
The photosphere (surface) of Regulus has a temperature of 15,100 celsius at the poles, and 10,000 celsius at the equator.

Inside, like all main sequence stars, Regulus is much hotter. Probably up to a million degrees, like in the Sun, although because of the distance, we cannot know with any precision.
