Being Father to Britney Spears Actually Pays Off

Just because we’ve all hit hard times doesn’t mean we’ve all hit hard times.  For someone like Britney Spear’s dad, this might be the pinacle of his existence.  After just one year the court decides it’s about time he gets a raise for, essentially, being a wonderful father figure for a change.

Jamie, who has been receiving weekly payments of $2,500 from Britney’s estate for serving as guide and guardian, will now get $16,000 per month to cover his workload from last January to November.

“He has been working extra hours related to various activities related to her music and her tour and activities necessary to the conservatorship,” L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said during Monday’s hearing.

None of this includes the extra $1,500 a month Jamie will be getting for new office digs to conduct conservatorship business in, and $200,000 “for services rendered prior to the conservatorship” that will be going to Britney’s older brother, Bryan, who is a cotrustee of her estate.

If there ever was a true moral to this story for the rest of us out there, it would simply be this: let your kids screw up now, and they’ll pay (you) for it later.
