Madonna is set to see a major boost in her growing fortune after striking a massive seven-figure deal with Disney, which licensed her legendary track “Vogue” for the teaser trailer of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” The Queen of Pop commanded one of the largest trailer-music fees in recent memory, and Disney reportedly paid it without hesitation.
Madonna headed towards big payday, claims source
A music industry source confirmed to Robert Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that Madonna negotiated reasonably. “Madonna doesn’t play around with her publishing rights,” the insider explained. “She demanded a huge fee — and she got every penny.” Unlike many artists from her era, Madonna owns her entire publishing catalog. She co-wrote “Vogue” in 1990 with acclaimed producer Shep Pettibone and has repeatedly rejected massive offers to sell her rights to the song.
For years, she has highlighted the importance of creative control, often stating, “Ownership is everything.” Madonna’s long-standing decision to retain ownership of her masters is now paying off in a major way. Each time one of her classic hits gains new traction, the profits go straight to her — and “Vogue” continues to be one of her most revenue-generating songs.
Disney executives reportedly pushed hard to secure “Vogue,” insisting that no other song could deliver the instant iconic energy needed to launch the long-awaited sequel. The original 2006 film, “The Devil Wears Prada,” became a cultural phenomenon, and the studio wanted a soundtrack moment just as bold. “Madonna has made licensing an art form,” said the source. “While everyone else is cashing out, she’s cashing in — one hit at a time.”
The pop superstar already sits firmly on the 2025 America’s Richest Self-Made Women list with an estimated net worth of $850 million. As “The Devil Wears Prada 2” gears up for release, one thing is certain: The film has found its anthem, and Madonna has secured a major payday.
