1 Britney Spears Should Have A Lot More Money

Britney Spears should have a fortune in the hundreds of millions

• Britney's father, Jamie Spears spent a large chunk of Britney's money after she was placed under conservatorship

Despite her fame, Britney Spears' net worth appears relatively low compared to her fellow artists. According to Celebrity Net Worth,Rihanna has a net worth of $1.4 billion, Taylor Swift has amassed $1.1 billion, and Beyoncé boasts an $800 million net worth.

Spears' chaotic personal life has a lot to do with her money situation. After a very public meltdown in 2007, the court put her under a conservatorship and stated that her father Jamie Spears would be in charge of her money matters. It looked like this was done to help the singer, but in the grand scheme of things, her father did not do a great job managing her money.
