Catherine Zeta-jones Paid $20 Million T-Mobile 2006, Could a celebrity be worth a billion dollars in licensing royalties? As you may know, Paul McCartney recently trademarked his name in the UK for virually every category, including hay.
I could see a great tie-in with co-branding Paul McCartney's hay and the Hey Jude Beatles song. :)
On a more serious note, I think the value of Paul McCartney's name, an international cultural icon as a Beatle, could be worth a billion dollars.Why do I say that?
Did you know that Catherine Zeta-Jones was paid $20 million by T-Mobile?
Did you know that LeBron James, the 21-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star makes $20+ million per year in endorsements?
How much can an 18-year-old athlete earn in endorsements? If you're Maria Sharapova, you'd be making $18 million in endorsements. That's a cool million for each year she's been alive.
And, did you know that George Lucas, due to Star Wars royalties, earns $235 million a year?
Finally, how about that other Paul. Paul Newman, that is, whose "Newman's Own" brand has donated over $200 million.
So, does the celebrity brand of Paul McCartney being worth a billion dollars still seam far-fetched to you?
For more on this subject, you can listen to Diantha Parker's Marketplace Morning Report segment, a portion of which I participated in, by downloading it here.
