It’s no secret that Spears had been required to pay her father Jamie Spears for his role as her conservator. Court documents previously revealed that Britney was paying him $16,000 ($11.5k) a month during her 13-year conservatorship, which amounts to over $2 million (£1.4m) in total.

Britney's attorney stated in a court filing that this figure was $2,000 (£1.5k) more than Britney herself received each month. Jamie also allegedly received $2,000 (£1.5k) per month in office expenses, while a petition filed in August 2021 by Britney's attorney accused her father of trying to "extort" $2 million (£1.4m) in payments prior to stepping down.

In total, he's been accused of stealing more than $6 million (£4.4m) from his daughter's estate.

There were also huge legal fees to contend with every time the conservatorship came to court. Jamie filed for Britney's estate to continue paying his own legal fees, while Lynn Spears asked her daughter to cover the $660,000 (£460k) she spent during the court battle. Britney has refused.

According to The New York Times, Jamie also borrowed "at least" $40,000 (£31.3k) from the company he later hired to manage his daughter's conservatorship, leading to allegations of a potentially serious conflict of interest.
