Portfolio estimates record companies, promoters and licensors make 30 million to 40 million because of endorsements, record sales and other business. It estimates the paparazzi make 4 mil from selling photos of her. Celebrity tabloids, Web traffic and other media make an estimated 75 million off her in a year. A celebrity tabloid can sell as many as 33 percent more copies if Spears is on the cover.
