Britney Spears sold the rights to her iconic music catalog in a massive music deal, Page Six has learned.

The Grammy winner released her shares to Primary Wave, a private music publishing company based in New York City, on Dec. 30, according to documents obtained by TMZ Tuesday.

An insider told the outlet that the “landmark deal” was estimated to be in the same ballpark as the $200 million-dollar check Justin Bieber received when he sold his catalog in 2022.

The source shared that Spears, 44, was happy and celebrating with her two sons, Sean Preston Federline, 20, and Jayden James Federline, 19.

A rep for the Princess of Pop wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

The sale, meanwhile, included the pop star’s greatest hits, such as songs from her 1999 debut album, “… Baby One More Time.”

Additionally, her fourth studio album, “In The Zone,” which included her 2003 track “Toxic,” was also in the deal.

After releasing “Toxic,” Spears won her first Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2005.

The contract also included Spears’ late 1990s and early 2000s songs, such as “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” “…Baby One More Time,” “Oops!… I Did It Again,” “Everytime,” “Piece of Me,” “Hold It Against Me” and “Gimme More.”

It’s not uncommon for musicians to sell their music videos, and Spears followed the lead of Stevie Nicks, Shakira, KISS, Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins and Bob Dylan.

The hitmaker’s massive business deal comes after she vowed “never [to] return to the music industry” in January 2024.

Spears, who was in a 13-year conservatorship from 2008 to 2021, released her last album, “Glory,” in 2016, and her last collab, “Mind Your Business,” in 2023.

Her final performance was in 2018 for her “Piece of Me” tour in Austin, Texas.

While the hitmaker has taken a personal step back from music, she’s reportedly been helping her son Jayden with his music career.

“She’s helping him connect with some producers she’s worked with in the past,” an insider told Us Weekly last month. “She definitely wants him to utilize her old relationships so he’s protected and guided through this.”

A source told the outlet Spears “loves” the teenager’s style and “thinks he has such a fresh sound,” adding, “She’s so proud of him and all the work he’s clearly put into his passion.”

The “Circus” singer shares her sons with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.
