The company buying it isnt planning on making less than 200 million so I’m not too sure how you’re even saying this. It’s obviously a long term vs short term play.

What does it have to do with you though?

You can speculate pretty well because Spotify does offer their payout breakout as public information and you have stream numbers

Look it up, an artist like beiber banked 30M gross annually on the LOW end in the last decade

that nigga ridin a lugz bike rn

20 plus years of streams would've never made him 200 mill. OP doesnt know wtf hes talking about.

As someone who’s already worth a couple hundred million, getting $200M now that you can reinvest in other s***, and still continue a solid recording/performance career is a hard thing to sell as a “bad deal”

Wonder if he had debt issues and needed a quick $200 million ? Or just doesn’t gaf and saw a $200 mill payout and was happy w it

financial advice section

In the last decade he’s generated 1/5 of that 200M figure regularly on an annual basis

It’s not hard math

And if you think about the present value of those future cash flows from royalties in cash flows from streaming + media rights of his music + full concert performances (he has to pay to play his own music live now) + remastered releases in the future for the next 20-30 years

It’s easily exceeding 200M in 2023 dollars

So the company that bought it, did so, why? To lose money? Lol. Come on now. There is no way those predatory music labels are just buying entire catalogs without plans on recouping in a major way.

To someone who came from nothing, there isn’t much difference between $200 million and $500 million, especially when the $200 is upfront and guaranteed right now whereas the $500 is a speculative estimate for the future

Investing even half of that 200M could potentially yield way more than what he would have received from streaming

Only way artists will "regret" these deals is if the pay model for streaming changes in the future

Biebs getting cancelled

Only on KTT will someone get clowned for getting a check for $200 M’s

Loser ass behavior

Who is buying all the catalogs

He probably doesn't get s*** from sales or streams. Dude just wants to live.

I ain't mad at it

It’s public what he makes from streams

It’s a risk both ways but at the end of the day a $200M payout you can utilize now is never going to be a bad deal for the artist

There’s no assurances Bieber’s music has long term plays either or he would have seen that money in a long term span.

It’s not like the money just sits in his savings account. Bieber is a business owner and investor. He and his family are set for life regardless

So why would the largest PE firm bother buying his catalog then if 200M in liquid cash is better than Justin Beiber royalties until in the end of time?

💯

this just in @op and most of ktt have no idea how much 200 million dollars is.
