| Bowie Bonds |
Bowie Bonds are asset-backed securities of current and future revenues of the first 25 albums (287 songs) of David Bowie's collection recorded before 1990. Issued by David Bowie in 1997, they were bought for $55 million by the Prudential Insurance Company. The 287 included songs also acted as collateral to insure the bond. The Bonds were a 10 year issue, after which the royalties of the songs would return to David Bowie. By forfeiting 10 years worth of royalties, Bowie was able to receive $55 million upfront, which allowed him to buy out the rights to the David Bowie songs owned by a former manager. David Bowie now owns the rights to every one of his songs. (references) |
