Since at least February 2009—one year after her father, Jamie, was named the conservator in charge of her estate—Spears has had to pay him $16,000 each month, according to court documents reviewed by Forbes. Over 12 years, that compensation has totaled $2.4 million.
Additionally, a report this week from the New York Times, pointed to the fact that he also collected portions of her touring revenue—which could explain Spears’ accusations that she was forced to work and perform despite not wanting to or feeling sick. Those payouts for Jamie Spears included 1.5% of the gross ticket and merchandise sales from Britney Spears’ popular Piece of Me residency that ran from 2013–17 in Las Vegas. That show grossed $137.7 million, according to Caesars Entertainment, leaving Jamie Spears’ cut at $2.1 million. The Times also reported that Jamie Spears got a 2.95% commission off of her 2011 Femme Fatale tour. While it’s unclear if that is a percentage of gross revenue or just of Spears’ take-home earnings, he would have made at least $500,000 from the tour.
In addition to the millions Britney Spears has paid her father as part of a court-ordered “salary,” she has also had to pony up for several other expenses. There’s the nearly $300,000 she’s spent renting her father an office for $2,000 per month, and hundreds of thousands—if not millions—in legal fees. As part of a quirk of conservator arrangement, conservatees are often required to pay for both their own attorneys and those of their conservators.
