Ever get the feeling somebody is making a whole lot of money off Britney Spears besides Britney Spears?
Portfolio magazine estimates the annual value of Britney Spears to the U.S. economy is
110- to 120-million dollars -- and that's when she isn't even touring.
Portfolio estimates record companies, promoters and licensers make 30- to 40-million dollars because of endorsements, record sales and other business.
It estimates the
paparazzi make 4 million dollars from selling photos of the Kentwood native. Celebrity tabloids, web traffic and other media make an
estimated 75 million dollars off her in a year. A celebrity tabloid can sell as many as
33 percent more copies if Spears is on the cover.
