I work for a Wall Street firm.This was an EXCELLENT MOVE if Katy's manager doesn't get a large cut, and I'll tell you why. If she just takes HALF of that money and puts it into an S&P 500 fund,leaves it alone for 10-15 years,she'll be a BILLIONAIRE without lifting a finger to do a d*mn thing. I hope she's incorporated because taxes will be 21% on a corporation, but 37% on an individual. I hope she had good legal counsel BEFORE she made the sale.She's only 38 years old,but she's set for life if she has an intelligent financial advisor.The music business has changed greatly in the last fifteen years,and unless you're doing KPOP,Jazz,or Classical music, NO ONE is selling massive amounts of cd's or downloads (unless you're Taylor Swift or Beyonce) . This was a great move on her part.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW You're acting like you have a SERIOUS PROBLEM with reading comprehension. you OBVIOUSLY don't work on Wall Street. You need to troll someone who is just as UNINFORMED as you are .BYE FELICIA.
Must people think shakira is a 2001 act . She started in 1993 and she has sold 19 million records by 2001 already ' there was never a an answer to how much she was paid . The estimate is 130 million . . She is already 400 million rich before 2020 so after her resent album and tax pay she is around 500
I just saw that Katy Perry sold the rights to her music and came to watch this video, answered all my questions!
Glad it was useful!!
All I want for Christmas is
YOUR MUSIC RIGHTS
Haha you’re a smart man!

You can safely assume Katy has a team of expert advisors ensuring she is making the best financial and legal moves.
@@RaisedMedia Like I said,I work for a Wall Street firm. You can NEVER assume anything. That's why 99% of artists signed to major labels are BROKE.
@@NURREDINshe was already rich before she sold it. You're acting like she was living in a homeless shelter.

@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW TROLL ALERT. You don't have a clue as to what i'm talking about.
Interesting. Thank you for putting this out there.
Thank you for watching!
Can hedge fund monstrosities just not exist? They of all things deserve to be broken up and disempowered.
Another great video as always
Another great comment!
This got me thinking... How much would the rights to the J G Wentworth jingle cost? 😜
Good video as always.
Haha we could all retire if we owned the rights to the JG Wentworth jingle. It will be stuck in my head until the day I die.
And yet Paul McCarnety is trying to get his songs back
Fire content
Thank you!!!

I wonder what Debbie Harry got for the Blondies catalog?
The music business. Music. Business.
Too bad Tom Petty is gone. He would never sell his.
