The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queen (of Royalties)
Whitney Houston, the voice of an angel, left us far too soon. But her music? That's still soaring higher than Mariah Carey's Christmas album. So, the burning question is: Who's cashing in on this golden goose?
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Well, brace yourselves for a rollercoaster ride through the world of music business, because it’s as complicated as untangling a pair of headphone cords.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Primary Wave: The New Kingmakers
If you thought the music industry was all about talent, think again. Enter Primary Wave, a music publishing company that seems to have a knack for sniffing out gold. They've got their hands on a whopping 50% stake in Whitney's estate. That means half of every dollar made from her music is going straight into their pockets. Talk about hitting the jackpot!
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
But wait, there's more! Primary Wave didn't stop there. They also managed to snag the rights to a bunch of Whitney's biggest hits, including those unforgettable anthems written by Shannon Rubicam and George Merrill. It's like they're building a Whitney Houston empire, brick by brick.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.

Whitney's Family: The Silent Partners
While Primary Wave is calling the shots, let's not forget about Whitney's family. They still own the other 50% of the estate. So, while they might not be making as much noise as Primary Wave, they're definitely still getting a pretty penny.
It’s a complex web of ownership, but one thing's for sure: Whitney's music continues to be a cash cow. And while it's a bit bittersweet to think about money when discussing such a legendary artist, it's also a testament to her enduring legacy.
