$40-$60 MM is more than I would have thought.

Although the headline number* is still a lot less than various pop music deals: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/ranked-biggest-music-catalogue-sales-163000337.html

* "Headline number" because I'm too lazy to compare the exact rights granted by the various transactions.

I guess this includes the publishing rights on Four.  Actually Miles didn't  own publishing on that many songs.  I expect the records royalties are worth a lot more.
