Catalog Sale

In May 2022, Justin Timberlake secured an agreement to sell his song catalog to Hipgnosis Song Management for approximately $100 million. This deal allowed Hipgnosis to gain control over and profit from nearly 200 songs that Timberlake wrote or co-wrote, spanning from his days with NSYNC to his solo career.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born on January 31, 1981, in Memphis, Tennessee, Justin Randall Timberlake grew up in the tight-knit community of Shelby Forest. He has two half-brothers from his father’s subsequent marriage and a half-sister who tragically passed away shortly after birth in 1997.

His passion for music began at an early age, thanks to his grandfather. As a child, Timberlake performed country and gospel music. At the age of 11, he made an appearance on “Star Search,” singing under the name “Justin Randall.” He later became a regular cast member on “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” during 1993 and 1994, alongside fellow performers Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, JC Chasez, and Ryan Gosling. In 1995, Timberlake, together with Chasez, formed a male vocal group organized by manager Lou Pearlman, which eventually became known as NSYNC.

N’SYNC

N’SYNC was established in 1995 and included members Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass. The group’s name, often stylized as *NSYNC, reflects the final letter of each member’s first name.

Under the management of Lou Pearlman, who had prior experience with the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC initially gained traction in Europe before successfully entering the American market. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1998, included hit singles like “I Want You Back” and “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” helping to solidify their foothold in the pop music industry.

The band’s second album, “No Strings Attached,” released in 2000, propelled them to unprecedented levels of fame. This album achieved a record by selling over 2.4 million copies during its first week in the United States. Iconic singles such as “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s

“Gonna Be Me” topped the charts, reinforcing NSYNC’s status as one of the most renowned acts of that era.

Their third and concluding studio album, “Celebrity,” which debuted in 2001, furthered their success with hit singles like “Pop” and “Gone.” The band also undertook immensely successful world tours, displaying their vibrant live shows and complex dance routines.

In 2002, the group declared a “temporary hiatus,” which eventually evolved into a permanent disbandment as the members chose to follow individual projects. Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez launched their solo music careers, while the other members ventured into various entertainment industries.

Despite their relatively brief time together, NSYNC’s influence on pop culture and the music scene is unquestionable. With over 70 million records sold globally, multiple honors, and a loyal fan following, NSYNC stands out as one of the most pivotal and impactful boy bands in music history.

Solo Success

After NSYNC’s hiatus in 2002, Timberlake collaborated with Pharrell Williams on music. However, the idea of going solo had germinated a year earlier in 2001. Timberlake wrote a song called “Gone” for Michael Jackson that same year, but when Jackson declined, NSYNC recorded it instead. Following its release, Jackson reached out to Timberlake, expressing his desire to record it as a duet with him rather than with the whole band. Timberlake notes this phone discussion as “the first time [he] ever really felt the confidence to [go solo].”

In August 2002, Timberlake unveiled his debut solo single, “Like I Love You,” and subsequently released his first solo album, “Justified,” in November of the same year. By the summer of 2003, Timberlake was on tour with his former “Mickey Mouse Club” colleague Christina Aguilera, co-headlining the Justified/Stripped Tour.

Following an incident during the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVII halftime performance with Janet Jackson, where a wardrobe malfunction resulted in Timberlake accidentally exposing one of Jackson’s breasts, he shifted his focus from music to acting opportunities. He starred in films like “Edison Force” (2006), “Alpha Dog” (2006), and “Southland Tales” (2006). Additionally, he launched his own record label, JayTee Records, in 2005.

On September 12, 2006, Timberlake released his…

His second studio album, “FutureSex/LoveSounds,” launched at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. Continuing his musical endeavors, he collaborated with various artists, including Madonna on the 2008 single “4 Minutes,” as well as T.I., Ciara, and Rihanna. In March 2013, he released his third studio album, “The 20/20 Experience,” which ultimately became the best-selling album in the United States that year, followed by the release of his fourth album, “The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2,” in September 2013.

In February 2018, Timberlake released his fifth studio album, “Man of the Woods,” just days ahead of his performance as the headline act for the Super Bowl LII halftime show in Minneapolis. He then embarked on a tour of the same name that extended from March 2018 to April 2019, marking it as the sixth-highest-grossing tour of that year.

Timberlake has also been featured in notable films, including the critically acclaimed “The Social Network” (2010), “Bed Teacher” (2011), “Friends with Benefits” (2011), and “Wonder Wheel” (2017). Additionally, he lent his voice to the character Branch in the “Trolls” franchise (2016-2023). His appearances on television shows include “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and multiple guest spots on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL). Notably, the song he composed for the 2006 SNL skit “Dick in a Box” became a viral sensation, earning him an Emmy Award.

Personal Life

Timberlake’s romantic history includes several relationships, most notably with singer Britney Spears from 1999 to 2002 and his current relationship with wife Jessica Biel. The pair began dating in January 2007 and exchanged wedding vows on October 19, 2012, in Fasano, Italy. Their first child, Silas Timberlake, was born on April 11, 2015, and they welcomed their second son in July 2020.

Other Ventures

Beyond his career in music and acting, Timberlake is also involved in film and television production. He took on the roles of composer and musical supervisor for the 2017 film “The Book of Love” and serves as the executive producer of the Fox game show “Spin the Wheel.”

His fame and popularity have led to numerous lucrative endorsement contracts, such as his 2003 agreement with McDonald’s, for which he produced the song “I’m Lovin’ It” as part of the fast-food chain’s campaign, earning $6 million. Other endorsements include partnerships with Sony products (2009), Givenchy’s men’s fragrance “Play” (2009), and Walmart (2012).

Timberlake also ventured into business with the 2005 and 2007 William Rast clothing lines and the 2018 “Fresh Leaves” collaborative collection with Levi’s. In 2014, he teamed up with Sauza Liquors to create his version of the drink, “Sauza 901,” and in 2016, he made an investment in Bai Brands. Additionally, he and Biel hold minority ownership in the Memphis Grizzlies.

In 2022, Timberlake invested in Greenville 3’s, a par-3 golf course located in Greenville, South Carolina. Recent news revealed that in May 2023, he and Tiger Woods are collaborating on a 600-acre luxury development in Florida known as The Wellington.

Real Estate

Jessica and Justin purchased a 2,600-square-foot penthouse in Soho, NYC for $6.6 million in 2010. They put this property on the market in 2018 for $8 million but ultimately sold it in January 2019 for slightly less than their original investment a decade prior.

In 2017, just before they bought and listed their Soho property, they acquired a 5,400-square-foot duplex penthouse in Tribeca for $20.2 million, which boasts a large rooftop terrace. Initially listed at $27.5 million, this residence incurs $15,000 monthly in condo fees, maintenance, and taxes. Notable owners in the same building include Harry Styles, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, who purchased the penthouse for $44 million. In January 2022, Jessica and Justin sold their unit for $29 million.

Apart from their New York properties, they are also owners of a mansion located in the Hollywood Hills, which Justin bought for $8.3 million in 2002 from actress Helen Hunt. Helen initially bought the three-acre property in 1996 for $7 million. After demolishing the existing home, she commenced building the 12,000-square-foot mansion. During construction, Helen and her husband Hank Azaria separated. Upon completion, she listed the home without having ever stayed there. Justin later acquired an adjacent undeveloped 7-acre lot to create an expansive estate of over 10 acres. In October 2021, they listed this estate for sale at $35 million.

Previously, they owned a 130-acre undeveloped estate near Nashville, which they purchased in 2015 for $4 million. They sold this property in June 2024 for $8 million.

Yellowstone Club

Within the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana, Justin and Jessica stand out as some of the most recognized club members and homeowners. They acquired their property in 2015 for an undisclosed amount. The Yellowstone Club sprawls over 15,000 acres in Big Sky, Montana, featuring 3,000 acres of exceptional private ski slopes, a world-class 18-hole golf course, five-star dining, and more. Other notable owners include Bill Gates and Jack Kemp. It has been reported that Justin and Jessica intend to raise their children here, away from the Hollywood limelight. To join the Yellowstone Club, membership entails a $300,000 initiation fee and an annual cost of $30,000.
