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

With her one-year marriage to Sam Asghari coming to an end with a rock solid prenup, Britney Spears’ massive fortune is making headlines once again.

Named the World’s Most Powerful Celebrity by Forbes in 2002, Spears has amassed incredible wealth from her hugely successful entertainment career.

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

In 2021, her net worth was reported by Forbes as being $60 million – a low figure compared to peers like Beyonce and Rihanna. At that point, she was paying millions in legal fees for her conservatory and had stopped performing and making music.

At the time, her 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 mansion she shares in Thousand Oaks with her estranged husband, 29.

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

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

In 2020, the Wall Street Journal noted that in 1999, Britney bought a property in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana for just $29,362. At the time, her mother lived in the residence, but Britney was known to occasionally stay as well.

She previously owned two properties in New York City — a penthouse she sold for $6 million in 2006, and a two-bedroom apartment in the Silk Building that she sold for $1.48 million. The prices she bought them for were unknown.

She has owned numerous multi-million dollar homes in the Los Angeles area, including the Malibu house she bought during her ill-fated marriage to Kevin Federline.

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

In 2015, she bought a huge house near White Stallion Ranch for $7.4 million. As of 2021, the home was valued at $10 million.

Since she and Sam tied the knot, Britney has increased her fortune by signing a $15 million deal with publisher Simon & Schuster for a telling memoir titled The Woman In Me.

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

Britney also signed an underlying rights deal for the jukebox music Once Upon a One More Time, which means she can receive income from ticket sales, touring and licensing.

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

Under the scheme, the singer was paid a stipend of $2,000 a week, but her father paid himself about $16,000 a month to run the conservatory, and her former attorney Samuel Ingham III received an annual salary of $520,000, according to the outlet.

It is currently unclear whether the prenuptial agreement states whether Sam is entitled to the money he earned after they got married.

The prenuptial agreement states that Sam is entitled to “$1 million every two years” from their marriage, capped at $10 million after 15 years, according to USA weekly.

According to court documents, Asghari is asking the millionaire for spousal support and to cover his lawyer’s costs, but their prenuptial agreement is unlikely to be rejected.

Sam has also reportedly waived all claims to Britney’s music collection, and his name is not on the deeds of their shared home in Thousand Oaks, California.

Asghari’s lawyer Neal Hersh said things are still to be determined regarding their finances – despite their “ironclad” prenuptial agreement protecting the singer’s pre-marital assets.

“(Sam) has yet to determine the full nature and extent of each party’s separate property and liabilities,” Hersh wrote.

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

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