Justin Timberlake Sells 100% of Song Catalog to Hipgnosis for ~$100M

[Doobie Doo]

That seems pretty low, no?
JT desperate for money?

Not knowledgeable on this topic

100 million is more than they would every get from streaming from their discography. Add in the fact that Justin still gets money from TV/movies and that's not a bad deal. Especially since I can always create more music at any time.

Seems like someone of his status a relatively low number

But I don’t really have a frame of reference

Justin?

Justin?

It's a general thought for any musician.

What an idiot he's stupid. should've kept it for his heirs

Spoiler

100m seems low as hell. So he cant ever tour those songs anymore correct? Seems he could've gotten 100m going on tour for 3-4 summers.

Then again, he only has 3-4 solo albums right?

Yall just say random ass made up shyt

 

[NSSVO]

Really thought he would get more. I know his career didn’t go as planned, but he still had a run.

Sell your legacy

How?


He’s a pop star who made a lot of money off his music and made a deal for a lot of money for his music. His legacy still stands

 

[Vandelay]

He probably split the royalties with so many people, this probably is a great deal for him. And I don't think each deal is structured exactly the same, so I'm hoping he probably still has the opportunity to generate money from touring, because that would be dumb if he gave that away...even if that doesn't turn into 100 M's over the remainder of his touring career. The ability to generate a quick mil or 2 from doing a performance here or there is leverage you don't want to give away. Streaming and movie royalties is a fair trade in my opinion.

Seems low to me, but who am I to count his bread

 

[Carlton Banks]

That's a low amount but I guess its a lot of money upfront
His legacy should be worth way more than that especially since they are going to recoup that amount in maybe 5 years off his catalog being used in everything

We don't know that for sure. His music could very well no longer sell as much. It's 2022.

 

[CrimsonTider]

I would do the same if I didn’t write or produce any of my own music

What difference does that make

How would you know whether that’s a low amount or not?

Y’all crazy

I wonder what that n sync catalog worth?
