Britney Spears’ massive salary from 2023 has been uncovered, amid claims she is “in danger of going broke”.
The singer, 42, has never been too far from the headlines in recent years as she battled to escape her conservatorship. Through the support of her fans, she was able to break free, and be able to live normally, without the help of her family, including sister Jamie Lynn and father Jamie.
Britney had been facing claims in recent months that she had been struggling with her finances and that she was in fact very close to “going broke” according to sources. However, it seems she’s doing absolutely fine when it comes to her bank balance.

According to US Weekly, Britney brought in a huge $40million (£31.7m) in 2023 alone. This was mostly accrued thanks to the various sources of income for the superstar, such as brand deals, fashion outlets and the release of her controversial memoir The Woman in Me.

Her book, which was released in October 2023, is reported to have brought in about $15m (£11.9m) of her income in the last 12 months. Fans were desperate to read about her side of the story, with the book selling 1.1m copies in its first week of sale in the United States.
As well as the book, a smash hit track with Elton John, titled Hold Me Closer – which dropped in August 2022 – contributed heavily to her wealth in the last year. Speaking to Us Weekly, a source close to the Circus singer said that “there is no issue with money” for Britney.

She also has branched into a slew of other markets including a perfume range, alongside royalties from radio stations continuing to play her music. Another insider also explained that Britney buys “affordable” clothing, meaning that many of her looks are easily available, and that “she isn’t buying designer,” according to the source.
Instead, Britney is said to splash the cash on holidays, and should she not like the vibe of a vacation, she will cancel it last minute. It comes as her pals reflect on the restrictive conservatorship that had engulfed her life following her public breakdown in the 2000s.

Another insider had expressed concerns about what she was spending her money on, writing in Us Weekly: “There was a plan in place when Britney’s conservatorship ended for her day-to-day life. But no one followed it – the money is going out quickly.”
But they added that it is indeed Britney’s money and she can do with it what she pleases. “Britney spends on vacations and the clothes you see her in on Instagram, but that’s her prerogative. It’s her money,” they said.
