Reported range $400M – $600M

reported music-catalog sale
solo and Police royalties
touring and real estate

Sting's reported fortune combines a music-catalog sale worth up to $300M with solo and Police royalties and touring income. That $300M is the deal's gross value, not what Sting actually took home after fees, taxes and any rights he retained.

Sale consideration, fees, taxes, retained rights and private spending are not disclosed.

Worth knowing

The reported catalog transaction was up to $300M, but that gross deal value is not Sting's after-tax proceeds.
