Britney Spears’ name might be etched into our collective memory as the Princess of Pop who ruled the late 90s and early 2000s with hits like Baby One More Time, Oops!… I Did it Again, and Toxic.
But due to her decade-long struggles with an overbearing conservatorship and shameless tabloid bullying, the iconic singer’s legacy has grown into a telling tale on the pitfalls of stardom.
The Hulu documentary, Framing Britney Spears, followed by Netflix’s 2021 Britney vs Spears brought the pop star’s life and conservatorship back into the spotlight, shedding light on the unfair way in which both the media and the public have treated her during her struggles.
Now, with her years of oppression under her father’s strict control behind her, Britney Spears’ conservatorship has finally come to an end — allowing the pop star to enjoy her well-deserved freedom.
The pop icon’s legendary career – and the fortune she amassed along the way
Britney has sold over 100 million records worldwide, including over 70 million solely in the United States, making her one of the world’s best-selling music artists — which rightfully earned her the title of Princess of Pop.
And while her crown has often been challenged by contenders like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga or Ariana Grande, if there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s that Britney is as resilient as they come.
Despite the many ups and downs in her personal life and being the center of the media circus ever so often, she continues to be a timeless icon.
In fact, the singer/actress/entertainer now has a net worth estimated at $70 million, with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) listing Spears as the eighth best-selling female artist in the United States.
And Britney has invested some of her hard-earned money into prime real estate — including a jaw-dropping mansion that she now calls home.

Reminiscent of a beautiful Italian villa, the 13,264-square-foot home sits on 21 sprawling acres of private land and is hidden away by two private gates.
Needless to say, the pop star takes her privacy and security very seriously.

The estate has beautifully manicured lawns, a rear motor court with access to a six-car garage, flower gardens, an infinity pool, a stand-alone spa, and an orchard.
There’s also a lighted tennis court and a three-hole golf course on the estate’s grounds, giving the pop star tons of options for spending quality time outside.

If the exterior of the house seems grand, just wait until you see what’s inside.
The entrance has a marbled floor, massive pillars, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light.
Talking about ceilings, Britney’s house has 35-foot high ceilings that give the whole place a palatial feel. There’s also a large black marble fireplace where the star can cozy up for some peace and quiet.
A grand staircase leads to the second floor where there are five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The master bedroom has an enviable closet perfect for a world-famous pop star.
What’s a celebrity home without a killer view, you ask?
Well, the views of the LA skyline and Santa Monica mountains from Britney’s home are spectacular, to say the least. Even the wood-paneled library overlooks the mountains making it the perfect reading nook.
Britney’s kitchen may not need any introduction.
Already famous thanks to the singer’s countless dancing videos filmed here, the massive open kitchen has moody, dark wooden cabinets and a large center island.
Britney Spears’ house also has a media and game room, and other upscale amenities like an elevator, a dramatic 2-story entry, a formal living room and dining room, and 4 family bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
And the list goes on once you step outside of the palatial abode.
Countless amenities allow the pop princess to enjoy the Californian sun, starting with the luxurious infinity pool, which sits in front of a 1,200-square-foot poolside pavilion that has its own full kitchen, 3,500-bottle wine cellar, and bath, so no one has to leave the pool party.
Also on the grounds of the sprawling estate, we find a tennis court, a separate spa, and a three-green golf course with sand traps.
Her marital home in Calabasas with ex Sam Asghari
Looking for a fresh start after finally escaping her father’s conservatorship and tying the knot with Sam Asghari, Britney bought another house in Calabasas — but this residence was as short-lived as her marriage to Asghari.
Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, purchased the spread for $11.8 million in mid-2022.
Sitting on a 1.6-acre parcel, that house had 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and all the bells and whistles of luxury you’d expect with a Calabasas mansion — including a gourmet kitchen, a home theater with leather reclining seats, a walk-in safe, a game room with a mahogany wet bar, a gift-wrapping room, and a pet wash basin.
The home, which Spears and Asghari purchased around the time they wed, is within proximity to Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline (who also lives in Calabasas) and that was likely the main reason behind the purchase — so Britney could be closer to her two sons, Preston and Jayden.
But the couple moved out of the home soon after moving in mainly because the house was too exposed, Mansion Global reports.
They sold the property a few months later, at a loss: a buyer took it off their hands in March 2023 for $10.1 million in cash, $1.7 million less than they paid for it 8 months prior.
And while we’re sorry to hear things didn’t work out for the couple — both when it comes to married life, and relocating to Calabasas — we’re happy knowing that Britney returned to the comfort of her Thousand Oaks home, especially as the sale was soon followed by news of her divorce from Sam Asghari.
