Britney's spending habits revealed
Categories: Celeb parenting, Rumors, Behaving badly
Sure, Britney seems crazy, but it can be hard to know what to believe amidst the media fervor that surrounds this unfortunate woman -- so who's to say whether or not Britney should have custody of her children?
Well, these court papers might help. They reveal how the ridiculously wealthy pop star spends her enormous income -- partying, buying clothes, eating out, and talking on the phone.
Here's a quick rundown on some monthly expenses:
- $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
- $49,267 on mortgage payments
- $16,000 on clothes
- $4,758 on eating out
- $2,500 on phone bills
Yikes! All of those figures are more than my mortgage. And that's not to mention the $15,000 a month she pays in child support, and the $120,000 she owes in legal expenses (a ruling based on the fact that most of the hearings were only necessary because she's been acting like a lunatic).
Meanwhile, while KFed isn't exactly thrifty, he's spending a mere $5,000 on entertainment, $7,500 on rent, and $2,000 on clothes. I know I have a long history of making fun of Mr. Federline, but those kids are lucky they have at least one parent who is somewhat under control.

Huge spending is a clasic sign of the manic phase of bipolar. So is excessive partying.

My question has nothing to do with Britney, per se. I just want to know how, with the deals on phone service, you end up with $2500 phone bills? I don't even spend that in phone bills in a year!
Unless maybe that's including business lines.
And my g-d, $50K in MONTHLY mortgage payments??? Wow.
I guess it's like they say, and one's bills expand to fit one's income...but man, I can't even imagine spending that much money.

Why do you care how much she spends? How about you letting everyone know how much YOU spend in all of those areas?

And to think that the State will come in and take kids away from parents who act half as weird as these two. Do either of them really care for those kids? OR, are they too wrapped up in their own identity and childish world to give a rap?
These kids need to find parents. Not biological.

To those who's undies are wadded-up over how much Spears makes, spends, etc....she IS using her money that she's earned. Not your's. Perhaps you'd calm down once you got a job? lol

Cut the girl some slack! 1st of all it is HER money that she HAS EARNED.....On the other hand the $$ spent by the piece of work K-FED is "free money." I love his speech that his kids will have jobs and learn to work for a living - huh? when has gold digging become a legit profession? I do think that Ms. Brit is a little misguided and out of it as of lately but then again anyone who spent time with and slept with K-FED would be in the same boat in my opinion. While I do not agree with all of what the press has purported as her behavior there are two things to remember 1) it is just that "purported behavior" most of the really bizare behavior being reported is being done by slimey publications that also report on 3 headed beings from other planets impregnating cows etc. and 2) The rag magazines and reporters keep constant 24 hour vigil--NO ONE would come up perfectly clean under the constant microscopic scrutiny!
Clean up your own life before you cast stones at someone else.

Yes, she "earned" her money and she should be able to
spend it, but what happens when it all runs out ?
Has anyone given her any sound advice when it comes
to saving for a "rainy day"?? With her latest live
performances, I'd say her days of real earning power
are getting numbered. Wise up !

Jonathon, I am pretty sure that if you made that much money you too would figure out a way to spend it.
Also, please don't pretend to not realize that "celebrities" need to spend on certain types of "entertainment, gifts," etc. to remain in the business. I am pretty sure I've never seen a celebrity's accounting that is as thrifty as mine.
I don't care about Britney but you folks seem intent on making yourselves look mean, silly, or stupid through these incessant posts.
