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

[THE MACHINE]

Yall just say random ass made up shyt

Whats made up?

You dont think he could make 25m touring for a year?
You think he could still perform his catalogue after selling it?
He has more than 4 solo albums?

 

[Alix217]

All this catalog buying seems shady.
Sting - $300M
Springsteen - $500M
Timberlake - $100M
Bob Dylan - $400M
Stevie Nicks - $100M
Neil Young - $150M
Mick Fleetwood - $80M
etc, etc.

Spotify generated less than $10 Billion in revenue for 2021. So how are companies like Hipgnosis going to recoup their money? This is a bubble and the 401k plans invested in these companies will pay heavily for it.

You're right

Spotify is trading at 34X earnings which is pretty crazy.

Wow. Least he still has that NSYNC bread which is his bread and butter

You'd think, Yreh...

The Pharmaceutical industry is licking their lips right now. Just watch the Asthma med commercials backed by Every Breath You Take.

100m for:
2 excellent
1 very good
1 mid
1 trash
albums isn't bad at all

 

[Optimus Prime]

I think the money is about right.
No way he owns 100% of FutureSexLoveSongs or 20/20 which is his biggest albums. I'm sure Timberland owns atleast 25% of those.
I doubt he see anything from the 'NSync catalog. They didn't write any of those songs.
He probably doesn't want to tour or work hard anymore when he can cash out and do what he wants.

Seems like someone of his status a relatively low number

But I don’t really have a frame of reference

Bruce Springsteen sold his catalog for $500M
Sting sold his for $300M

Timberlake has 1.5 albums of good music. It's a good deal.

 

[97Pac]

Imagine what a $100m check looks like after taxes in Cali or NY

 

[GoldenGlove]

The assumption in this thread is that he must not have been getting a good split for his work from the type of deal structure he had prior to selling.

My question would be, wouldn't this Hipgnosis company be getting the same split that JT was getting for his catalog? Do they plan on buying out all the other companies/entities that also were getting a cut for his work?

These topics and inner dealings are so mystified without anyone breaking them down. The numbers are so varied for each artist.
