Britney Spears’ Net Worth: The Truth About Her Spending Habits and How She Still Makes Millions Today
Britney Spears is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, and one of the richest. Here’s what she spends her money on and how she still continues to rake in millions today.
Starting out
Before she was a household name, Spears made her nationwide singing debut on the competition show Star Search back in 1992. While she didn’t win, her appearance on the show opened doors for her and she ended up being cast on Disney’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club alongside other future stars like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.
Making it big
In 1999, Spears became a pop sensation with the release of her single “Baby One More Time.” The song was an instant hit and sold more than 500,000 copies within its first day of being released.
The singer continued to put out successful albums in the early 2000s and also starred in movies including the film Crossroads. She then appeared on a reality TV show with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. In 2012, Spears served as a judge on The X-Factor and banked $15 million for one season.
Other ventures
Aside from releasing one hit after another and her film and TV gigs, Spears earned some serious cash from endorsements. The pop princess had deals with top brands like Pepsi, American Express, McDonald’s, Home Depot, Verizon, Amazon, Google, Visa, Colgate, Estee Lauder, Priceline, and Comcast to name a few.
In addition, she has her fragrance line in partnership with Elizabeth Arden. And of course, her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood which started in 2012 and became one of the most successful residencies ever in Sin City. Forbes noted that she made well over $100 million from the show.
A substantial amount of her money has come from touring and in August 2018, she began her Piece of Me tour in the United Kingdom.
Her net worth
All that has given her an impressive net worth of around $215 million. The number is according to Celebrity Net Worth and may differ from some other estimates you have read. That’s because some publications only list a fortune of $41 million that was put in a trust years ago after her public meltdown and today is controlled by her father, Jamie Spears. A common question many people have is how long will the conservatorship remain in place?
“As long as she is bringing in so much money and as long as the lawyers and conservators are getting paid, there is little incentive to end it,” Elaine Renoire, president of the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse, told The New York Times. “Usually, the conservatorship just keeps going unless the conservatee makes a fuss or the family does.”
How she spends her money
So how does the “Oops!… I Did It Again” artist spend her money? Well, as E! News noted, Spears shops at a lot of the same retailers we all do such as Target, Old Navy, Macy’s, and TJ Maxx. She also picks up clothing for herself and her sons at stores like Nike, Dicks Sporting Goods, and Adidas.
Some of her other expenses though differ from everyday folks as she pays for bodyguards, a legal team, and maintaining her home’s elevator.
It’s good to be Britney!
