March 30 2021, Updated 8:04 p.m. ET
Britney Spears' father believes he and his conservatorship services to his daughter are worth five figures a month.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know Jamie Spears has been his 39-year-old pop star daughter's conservator since 2008. And according to new court documents, Jamie insists the job is worth a monthly stipend of $16,000, plus an additional $2,000 to maintain an office.
Per the filings, Jamie is requesting not only approval of his payments, but also confirmation they will continue until a judge rules otherwise. But he came prepared, outlining a list of extensive conservatorship duties, which interestingly include involvement with the conservatorship case itself.
"I spoke regularly with my conservatorship counsel to stay informed of the matters in the ongoing conservatorship proceeding, including reviewing all pleadings filed in the conservatorship, and preparing for and appearing at all hearings," wrote Jamie.
He insists, "I continue to do my best to keep current regarding the music, advertising, and entertainment business, in the areas of financial investing and investments, and in legal matters, for Ms. Spears' benefit."
