Justin Bieber Reportedly Close to Selling Catalog for $200 Million

Justin Bieber is reportedly nearing a deal to sell his entire catalog of music for $200 million, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Canadian pop star is in talks with Hipgnosis Capital to broker one of the biggest music-rights acquisitions in the company’s history. The deal would cover his full discography, which spans six albums and a number of one-off singles and collaborations.

The same company purchased catalog rights to Justin Timberlake’s discography earlier this year for $100 million. As reported by Variety, Hipgnosis also bought the song catalog of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen in March, although the details of the acquisition were not made public. The purchase was made through the Blackstone-backed Hipgnosis Songs Capital ICAV fund, which launched in 2021 with an initial investment of approximately $1 billion.

Bieber is considerably younger than the majority of artists who sell their music catalog.

Earlier this week, Bieber denounced a new collection of H&M clothing that features his face. “I didn’t approve any of the merch collection that they put up at H&M,” he wrote in a now-expired Instagram Stories post. “All without my permission and approval. SMH I wouldn’t buy it if I were you.”
