A look at Britney Spears’ $60M net worth and how the singer made her fortune from earnings to assets – amid divorce battle

As her one-year marriage to Sam Asghari comes to an end with an ironclad prenup, Britney Spears’ enormous fortune is once again in the headlines.

Spears, who was named the world’s most powerful celebrity by Forbes in 2002, has amassed incredible wealth through her wildly successful entertainment career.

His many victories include his hit records, countless tours, not to mention his popular four-year residency in Las Vegas which reportedly grossed $137.7 million.

In 2021, his net worth was reported by Forbes as being $60 million – a low figure compared to peers such as Beyonce and Rihanna. By this point, she was paying millions in legal fees for her conservatorship and had stopped acting and making music.

At the time, its assets were primarily held in real estate, cash and brokerage accounts.

Spears has owned properties across the country, and her real estate portfolio currently includes the Thousand Oaks mansion she shares with her ex-husband, 29.

The couple spent $11.8 million on the property, though much of that came from Britney’s fortune.

According to the prenup, Britney and Sam agreed to put the house into a limited liability company or LLC in the event of a divorce.

In 2020, the the wall street journal noted that Britney purchased property in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana for just $29,362 in 1999. At the time, her mother resided at the residence, but it was noted that Britney also stayed occasionally.

She previously owned two properties in New York – a penthouse which she sold in 2006 for $6 million and a two-bedroom condo in the Silk Building which she sold for $1.48 million. The prices at which she bought them were unknown.

She’s owned many multimillion-dollar homes in the Los Angeles area, including the Malibu home she bought during her ill-fated marriage to Kevin Federline.

This mansion was purchased for $6.3 million in 2004 before being sold three years later for $10 million.

In 2015, she bought a huge house in the White Stallion Ranch area for $7.4 million. In 2021, the house was valued at $10 million.

Since she and Sam tied the knot, Britney has added to her fortune by signing a $15 million deal with publishing house Simon & Schuster for a revealing memoir titled The Woman in Me.

The star also returned to music releasing two new singles, a new version of Tiny Dancer with Elton John, and Mind Your Business with will.i.am.

Britney has also signed an underlying rights agreement for Once Upon a One More Time jukebox music, which means she can receive revenue from ticket sales as well as touring and licensing.

An insider previously told The New Yorker that Spears previously had a multi-million dollar fortune in the early 2000s, but it was reduced to just “a few million dollars” when her conservatorship was established in 2008.

The arrangement called for a $2,000-a-week stipend for the singer, but her father was paying himself about $16,000 a month to run the conservatorship, and her former court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III, was paid an annual salary of $520,000, depending on release.

It is currently unclear whether the prenup indicates whether Sam is entitled to the money earned after their marriage.

The prenup says Sam is entitled to “$1 million for every two years” of their marriage, with a cap of $10 million after 15 years, according to American weekly.

According to court documents, Asghari is asking the millionaire for child support and covering his attorney’s fees, but their prenup is unlikely to be voided.

Sam also reportedly waived any claim to Britney’s music collection, and her name does not appear on the records of their shared home in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Asghari’s lawyer, Neal Hersh, said things have yet to be determined regarding their finances – despite their “ironclad” prenup in place which protects the singer’s pre-nuptial assets.

“(Sam) has not yet determined the nature and extent of each party’s separate assets and obligations,” Hersh wrote.

“There are various items of community and quasi-community assets and debts, the full nature and extent of which are unknown to (Sam) at this time.”

A source told the outlet that the prenup is unlikely to be thrown out and it’s more likely that “Britney will write Sam a check and that’ll be the end of it.”
