Britney Spears. Almost broke? Not.
p2pnet news | Music:- It’s tough at the top for celebrities such as Britney Spears, her every waking moment scrutinised on- and offline, hounded by the paparazzi.
And so on.
So is it worth it? Some might think so.
She’s paid $353,217.
And that’s not per year, it’s per month, says Times Online.
Spears’ income and expenses were itemised on a monthly, line-by-line basis, as part of the long-running custody dispute with her exhusband, Kevin Federline, one of her former dancers, says the story, going on”
Spears’s two big monthly overheads are partying, and medical bills. The former apparently costs $102,000 per month (on the 25-year-old’s expenses sheet, it is filed under ‘entertainment, gifts and vacations’). The latter, as represented by health insurance premiums and other medical costs, adds up to $86,397.
For someone who spends $1,036,764 a year on keeping herself healthy – including regular stints in rehab – it could be argued that Spears, who is often photographed looking bleary-eyed, disoriented and upset, appears to be getting a bad deal.
Timnes Online continues:
But no one should be worrying about the financial wellbeing of Spears, who this week released Blackout, her first album in four years, but refused to promote it. She spends only half of her monthly income of $732,868. The singer gives only $500 (or 0.0682 per cent) a month to charity, yet spends $16,000 on clothes. She is also thought to hold about $33 million in six high-interest accounts and owns a forest in Louisiana worth $6 million, plus investments in a number of properties.
Federline, on the other hand, earned more than $500,000 in 2006, “mainly from entertainment and endorsement deals,” says the story, but after business expenses, “he was left with only $7,436″.
His biggest monthly expenses were $7,500 in rent and $6,000 in security, with $2,000 going on clothes, $5,000 on entertainment, gifts and holidays, and $1,500 on eating out (barely one-third of his ex-wife’s restaurant bills).”

I think it was Robin Williams who said, “You know you’re addicted to crack… when you’re writing off $10,000 for snacks.”

She’s paid $353,217, yet she makes $732,868. This makes no sense. But everywhere else it says, over 700k per month, so I’ll assume that’s the right one.
