Garth Brooks Eyes $2 Billion Catalog Deal That Could Make Him World’s Richest Singer

Garth Brooks is reportedly seeking roughly $2 billion for his music catalog and recordings, a deal that could make him the wealthiest singer globally. Currently, Beyoncé leads country music wealth at $1 billion, while Jay-Z tops all musicians at $2.53 billion. The Wall Street Journal reports that the deal would surpass other recent major deals including Sony’s $1 billion purchase of Queen’s publishing and over $1 billion for half of Michael Jackson’s catalog. Brooks currently has an estimated $400 million net worth, ranking third in country music behind Beyoncé and Dolly Parton at $650 million. Other billionaire musicians include Taylor Swift at $2.1 billion, Rihanna at $1.03 billion, Bruce Springsteen at $1.17 billion, and Paul McCartney at $1.3 billion. Story URL
