According to Page Six, the pop star has a publishing agreement with Simon & Schuster that may be worth up to $15 million. Her professional and personal life will be included in the “tell-all” memoir. According to the site, Spears is the subject of a bidding battle, and the transaction is “one of the largest of all time, second only to the Obamas,” who reportedly sold the rights to their books for more than $60 million in 2017. Prior to that, following his presidency in 2001, Bill Clinton had a $15 million contract for his first book.
According to the story, Spears’ choice to write a book coincided with the release of her sister Jamie Lynn’s Things I Should Have Said, over which the two have had a public feud. Jamie’s book was released at the same time that Britney’s 13-year conservatorship came to an end.
“I wish you would take a lie detector test so all these masses of people see you’re lying through your teeth about me,” Britney wrote on Instagram. “I wish the almighty, Lord would could come down and show this whole world that you’re lying and making money off of me !!!!”
Spears previously teased a potential book when she posted a photo of a typewriter back in January with the caption “shall I start from the beginning.”
