HOW MUCH MONEY DOES BRITNEY SPEARS HAVE? HIS FORTUNE IS REVEALED AND SURPRISES FOR BEING THE LEAST RICH OF ITS SIMILAR
Forbes magazine estimates the earnings of the pop princesses and explains why the interpreter of 'Baby One More Time' has remained behind
Britney Spears has been the princess of pop for more than two decades. The American singer became a mass phenomenon at just 16 years old when she conquered the music industry thanks to the hit Baby One More Time. That was just the beginning of a career of hits like Toxic, Oops I did it again or Gimme more.
Now, Britney Spears is in vogue all over the world due to the documentary Framing Britney Spears. The film joins the Free Britney movement, driven by the artist's fans to free her from the tutelage of her father, putting back on the table the fact of how much money the pop diva has. Well, in this case we could reframe the question of how much money her father is making at her expense. And it is that in 2002, only four years after her musical debut, the young woman was named the most powerful artist in the world with a fortune of 40 million dollars.
Thus, the pop princess was at that time the richest singer. The American far surpassed other artists like Jennifer Lopez. Of course, almost twenty years later, things change. An analysis by Forbes magazine has estimated the fortune that Britney could have right now and compares it with those of other pop divas. The surprise? Which is incredibly low compared to other artists.
In fact, Rihanna has 10 times more money than her: her fortune is estimated at about 600 million dollars. Of course, the Barbados star has become an incredible businesswoman in the world of cosmetics and lingerie thanks to her lines Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty.
But why is Britney's fortune so far removed from her companions?
As the analysis of the American magazine collects, 2008 was crucial for the young woman's economic movements. That same year, after suffering her nervous breakdown, the artist was placed under the legal guardianship of her father James hers. Since then, the man has managed all the finances of the singer, despite the fact that the young woman continued working for the next ten years. Hence, the #FreeBritney movement was born by fans to try to make the artist independent of her father again.
Thus, although the diva has released four albums that worked in the market, has had six successful world tours and a residency in Las Vegas, her net worth numbers do not come close to that of singers who started at the same time as her. Jennifer Lopez or even Jessica Simpson.
Goodbye to ad revenue, touring and music
Despite that, the young woman stopped participating in large advertising campaigns for brands such as Pepsi or Samsung in 2015, where she got a good pinch. From that moment, the image rights that she earned for those millionaire ads stopped being entered.
In addition, the singer stopped releasing new music in 2016 and doing shows in 2018. That same year, as reported by Forbes, the artist also left her residence in Las Vegas where she earned $ 350,000 per night. Almost nothing!
This decision was made in 2018 by the pop princess when she decided to take charge of her life and try to stop being under the yoke of her father. Britney assured that she would not act again until James Spears was no longer in charge of her career.
J Lo, Taylor Swift, Rihanna ... have continued to enter
During these years, her companions have continued to see how her bank accounts were adding zeros. Jennifer Lopez, who started out in music in the 1990s like her, has continued to work as both an actress and a singer. The New Yorker has become the highest paid actress in Hollywood in 2019. She also has millionaire contracts with firms such as Versace.
Jessica Simpson, with whom she was compared to Spears at the beginning of her, despite not having had much experience as a singer, has known how to take advantage of her name to establish herself as a businesswoman. The artist sold her clothing business in 2015 to Sequential Brand Group for $ 120 million. Nothing bad!
Another artist who has not stopped reaping money has been Taylor Swift. Despite the fact that she started in 2006, the young woman has not stopped doing world tours. Without going any further from her, her Reputation Tour with which she toured much of the world, became the highest grossing in history . The United States alone made $ 266 million.
And what about Rihanna that we don't already know? The singer, who has not released music for years, has created a true empire with her brands Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty. Who needs to sing when you can win tons of money with two brands?
Without a doubt, Britney's fortune would be greater if she were not under the tutelage of her father. The young woman would return to resume her career as a musician and businesswoman. But why should she go to work if she doesn't directly see a single penny earned?
