Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, the 25% Britney is getting should cover the advance she got -- $12.5 million. There have been reports she received a $15 million advance, but we know it's $12.5 mil.

More than 400,000 copies have been sold, and the trajectory could take the book north of a million.

So if the average book is $25 and Britney sold 400,000 in the first day that equals $10 million. 25% of that is $2.5 million.
So Britney still has $15 million in her pocket the day after her book came out. Thanks for the self own, TMZ

Not you people believing a 9 million to 15 million RUMOR and now blaming BRITNEY that maybe she's lying

 

Yeah, please believe Heather McDonald about everything. The person that sold that constantly sold tabloid stories about Chelsea Handler to the press when she worked for her.

All  just weird at this point!

Britney says on social mídia she has the highest selling book from a celebrity but there’s no news of that anywhere. I saw articles saying “Britney says she has the highest…” which is odd, at least. And now, this!

I just hope is not false information, it would look really bad for her and the future sells!

maybe that what her team told her and she is just repeating it.. who knows wtf cade says and does 

[blissfuloutsider]

UMM holy **** apparently most books sell under 5,000 copies total... so 400,000 in one day is damn ******* impressive.. Give it 3 months to see what it sells including the holiday season worldwide... 

[Az4Angela]

The main thing is it sold a lot of copies and is easily gonna be #1 on New York Times bestseller list so let's celebrate that and enjoy the book

I think she does that with all her book related posts, it’s still on the others. It may be like a timed thing for 24 hrs

Before we freak out take into account this:

Only publishers have access to the complete sales data for their books, including the number of print, audio and e-book copies sold

In Britain, “Spare” set a record for first-day sales of a nonfiction book, selling 400,000 copies, including pre-orders, according to the publisher, Transworld Penguin Random House. 

Spare” sold more than 1.43 million copies in all formats in the United States, Canada and Britain, including pre-orders, according to its publisher.

If Britney has being able to sell more than 400k only in the US, that is actually a good number

That's how I read it as in US sales not worldwide but still no where near the 15 million is that even possible?

Why has my post been completely modified?

You’ve changed the title of MY post, the thumbnail I’VE chosen to use, added quotes & removed links to the original article.

******* weird.

I get it. No offense to the mods and Jordan, but I don't like the "upper hand" manipulation of threads thing. Since the OP remains it's essentially like writing under someone else's name without consent or notice. Not a cute vibe...

As of this writing, it is now the #11th best selling book ok Amazon. #2 in Memoirs, #1 Female Memoirs.

But Britney's instagram post, the one about the highest selling celebrity memoir, doesnt make sense. Once again.

In the US, I will say at most 1 million probably a little bit more,  the publisher has sell the rights to 15 countries, my guess if we take into account those 15 countries hopefully she could get more than 3 millions

[Benjamyn]

I mean it didn't come out in other countries until a day later like it was released only about 32 hours ago in Australia, and it's selling well here. It's number 1,2,3 on Amazon for the 3 versions.

So Britney fans, on a Britney forum, should not be concerned or curious about her success, nor discuss that here.

Got it. Makes perfect sense.

Pretty sure they are talking about TMZ...

That’s not how it works. The $15,000,000 was an “advance” meaning she has to repay that before she gets any additional profit. Anything over her advance, then becomes additional earnings.

Yes that's how usually book deals work: people get advance payment from royalties. However we don't know details about her book deal. Some big authors get an advance payment + all the royalties from the beginning.

Buying the book on Amazon is considered a sale right?

[KamikazeBoyX]

Does the UK Version has the rose on the front too or only US by Gallery Books?
My German Version doesnt has a rose on the front

It’s literally all over tiktok and it’s gone viral. 400k is not true
