When she broke out in the ’90s pop music scene, Britney Spears had an incredibly bright and exciting future ahead of her. She had a friendly personality, impressive dance moves, and bestselling albums. But by 2008, she was under a conservatorship and fans were worried about her.

Ever since the singer’s conservatorship was lifted in 2021, the singer has been back in the public eye. Now, fans are engrossed by her memoir “The Woman In Me,” which was released on October 24th, 2023. Britney Spears has a $70 million net worth and she is definitely making a lot from her book. Here’s the truth about how much she is earning.

How Much Did Britney Spears Make From Her Memoir “The Woman In Me”?

In October 2023, TMZ reported that Britney Spears would receive 25% of her memoir’s “net profits”. She was paid an advance of $12.5 million, which is impressive.

Usually, writers are given an “advance” and then make more money if their book sales are high enough.

Based on this explanation, most writers would begin earning royalties once their book sold millions of copies. However, because Spears has a deal that she will make 25% of “net profits,” she is definitely making a lot of money.

Britney Spears’ debut hit ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ remains her best-selling single, but it was rejected by several artists before she recorded it.

Spears wrote:

“My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means! That was me then… that is in the past! I don’t like the headlines I am reading… that’s exactly why I quit the business four years ago! Most of the book is from 20 years ago… I have moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here! I am here to establish it that way for the rest of my entire life! Either way, that is the last of it and sh*t happens!”

The singer also wrote that writing about the things that she has experienced helped her feel better. It sounds like this was very cathartic for her. She wrote, “It has given me closure on all things for a better future! Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt or misunderstood!”

According to Page Six, Britney Spears isn’t going to be interviewed about “The Woman In Me.” Based on what she wrote on Instagram about not liking how people are talking about her book, that makes sense. For such a long time, Spears had to read the terrible things that strangers said about her, especially regarding the time when she shaved her head in 2007. From what she has shared in her memoir, this was a horrible time.

While of course she can’t stop people from saying whatever they want to today, the singer seems to be thrilled with how well her book is selling. It seems like releasing “The Woman In Me” has been a positive experience for her.

Britney Spears wrote on Instagram:

“It’s happening!!! My book is the highest selling celebrity memoir in history and it’s only day 1!!! Thank you to the fans who have been so supportive !!! Love you all.”

It’s clear that Britney Spears’ “The Woman In Me” memoir will continue to sell well, and it sounds like the singer feels good about the story that she has told. It must be very rewarding for Spears to experience this success after being under a conservatorship for so many tough years. In fact, as Variety reported, Spears shared on Instagram that she was going to share a second book. While Variety said that this isn’t official and there is no second book deal, fans would be happy to read more of what Spears has to say.
