PHOTO VIA FACEBOOK/BRITNEYSPEARSIn 1999, VH1 introduced pop music fans to a schoolgirl heartthrob who would soon become the biggest teen queen sensation of the ’90s and early 2000s.
That’s right, you guessed correctly. It’s Britney, bitch.
Britney rose to superstardom after signing with Jive Records at the early age of sixteen. Her first song “Baby One More Time,” became an instant hit, catapulting her fame.
The record sold more than 500,000 copies on its first day and and six out of seven of her albums reached No.1 on the Billboard 200 charts, according to bankrate.com. Overall, Spears has sold more than 100 million records within her entire music career, skyrocketing her net worth to $200 million total.
And like any smart renaissance woman, Spears has spread her talents across several industries, making money in more ways than one.
Here are other the sources of income that make up the Britney Spears net worth.
Spears teamed up with Elizabeth Arden to sell her first fragrance, Curious, in 2004. Spears has since released 20 fragrances total.
In 2014, Spears launched the Intimate Britney Spear Collection, selling everything from bustiers, kimonos, nightgowns, sweatpants and sleepwear. All these items were named after flowers like Amaryllis, Buttercup, Ambrosia and Jasmine.
Her website states, “Every woman should feel confident and beautiful in everything she puts on … I am excited to introduce this collection because I feel we did exactly that.”
A few of Britney Spears’ endorsement deals include the Got Milk? campaign, Skechers and Polaroid. But her most memorable endorsement deal derived from Pepsi. Their commercials featured a 19-year-old Spears singing and winking into the camera. This alone earned her $8 million more in the bank.
In 2012, Business Insider revealed that she sold $97,883 last year in stock earnings. Some of her shareholdings include Chevron, Microsoft, Phillip Morris, Heinz, Nestle, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Lululemon and Visa. However, TMZ did report that she lost $640 on McDonald’s and $1,300 on Chipotle, which we assume is plain peanuts when you’re Britney Spears.
After the success of Britney Spears’ 2013 Las Vegas show, “Piece of Me,” she received a two-year $30-million residency deal. Lucky for Spears, each sold-out show brings in about $475,000, TMZ reported in 2015.
Since then, her residency has been extended to a $35 million and it is scheduled to play out until the end of 2017, according to go bankingrates.com. So grab your “Piece of Me” tickets now because they’re clearly one hot item!
Britney Spears can happily retire at age 34, but she continues to push her limits, working on new albums, selling out concert tickets and growing her already vast net worth.
