| Publisher | Estimate | Date |

Reported earnings figures
- Reuters reported on February 11, 2026 that Spears sold her music rights to Primary Wave. It cited TMZ’s report of a December 30 signing and a price in the ballpark of $200 million; a person familiar with the matter confirmed the deal but gave no further detail (Reuters). The headline amount is not confirmed cash received.
- Forbes estimates $170 million after fees but before taxes from the reported deal, and about $70 million after tax (Forbes). These are the publisher’s assumptions, not a disclosed settlement or tax return.
- Forbes reports $137.7 million in gross revenue for her 2013-2017 Las Vegas residency. That is event revenue, not her personal pay.
Reading these figures
A rights-sale price, estimated after-tax proceeds and net worth are different measures. Sale proceeds may replace an asset already counted in wealth, so adding the sale price to an earlier estimate would double-count it.
