Britney Spears has reportedly sold the rights to her music catalog for an estimated $200 million.

The “landmark deal” with music publisher Primary Wave is said to be similar to the agreement Justin Bieber reached with Hipgnosis in June 2024, according to TMZ.

Spears reportedly signed away her ownership share of her songs shortly before the start of 2026. She’s said to be pleased with the arrangement and has been celebrating by spending time with her two sons.

Spears has enjoyed significant commercial success with singles including “…Baby One More Time,” “Oops… I Did it Again,” “Circus” and “Gimme More.” The 44-year-old singer won her only Grammy Award in 2004 for the dance track “Toxic.”

Bloomberg reported last week that the IRS claims Spears owes $721,000 in taxes. In an article last May that criticized her allegedly lavish lifestyle, RadarOnline quoted a source saying Spears was “spending like she’s worth $200 million” and was quickly draining her bank account.

The website Celebrity Net Worth valued her assets at around $40 million prior to TMZ’s report on Tuesday.

Spears joins a growing list of accomplished artists that have parted ways with their music catalogs. Bruce Springsteen was said to have gotten $550 million from Sony Music Group in 2021. Bob Dylan parted with 600 tunes for a figure believed to have been as high as $500 million in 2020.

Eastman School of Music Professor John Covach told the Daily News in 2021 that artists like Springsteen, Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Neil Young most likely made decisions to cash in while the iron was hot.

“If I had to guess, I’d think they made a calculated decision that their catalog is at its peak value and they can get more for it now, rather than wait for a generational change,” he said.
