Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior CorrespondentJamie Spears and lawyers took more than $36 million from Britney Spears’ estate throughout the course of her conservatorship.

Her father even used some of his earnings in his role as conservator to pitch his own reality show — this, all according to new court documents, filed ahead of Wednesday’s hearing in the pop star’s continuous legal battle.The docs were filed by the singer’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, in response to Spears’ father asking the court to have his daughter continue paying his legal fees, despite being suspended from her conservatorship, before it was terminated. (At the time Spears’ father filed that petition, Rosengart called the request an “abomination.”)The star’s legal team states that Spears’ father paid himself “at least $6 million” from his daughter’s estate in his role as conservator, plus “petitioned for fees to be paid to dozens of different law firms” for “more than $30 million.”  The documents lay out a 13-year payment plan that states Spears’ father earned a total of $6,314,307.99 throughout the conservatorship, most recently including a payment of $192,000 in 2020.“Mr.

Spears, an ignominiously-suspended conservator — of a conservatorship that has been terminated — now seeks to siphon even more money from his daughter,” the new docs state.

Later, the filing goes onto say, “Mr. Spears should be required to pay his legal fees… if he has already dissipated those funds, he should consider hiring other, less expensive counsel whom he can afford.”Spears’ father was his daughter’s conservator for all 13 years, ever since she was placed under the court-ordered arrangement in 2008.
