Russell Brand’s ex wife Katy Perry hits the jackpot in mammoth nine-figure deal
SINGER Katy Perry’s bank balance is to soar like a Firework after she sold her music rights.
Perry, 38, has pocketed a reported £181million by flogging off her back catalogue to Litmus Music.
The company was set up by Dan McCarroll, the boss at Capitol Records — the same music giant which released Perry’s five studio albums.
The deal includes all of her previous work, featuring 16 multi-platinum selling singles.
The Teenage Dream singer has had five UK No1s — I Kissed A Girl, California Gurls, Part of Me, Roar and Feels.
In a statement, McCarroll said: “Katy Perry is a creative visionary.
“I’m honoured to be partnering with her to help Litmus manage her incredible repertoire.”
I’m so honoured to be partnering with her again and to help Litmus manage her incredible repertoire.”
Katy’s deal comes eight months after fellow superstar Justin Bieber, 29, sold 100% of his publishing copyright and performance rights for his own back catalogue.
Is he said to have been paid £162 million in the deal with investment company Hipgnosis Songs Capital.
