Britney's father earns $16k a month

Britney Spears's father has been given a $6,000 (£4,000)-a-month pay rise to reflect the additional work he has been doing as conservator of the singer's affairs.

Jamie Spears, who took control of his daughter's medical, personal and business concerns in February, previously earned around $10,000 (£6,765) a month.

However, a judge at LA's Superior Court has ruled that the former chef is entitled to around $16,000 (£10,800) a month to reflect the extra duties he had taken on, which include planning Spears's upcoming world tour.

The court also ruled that Jamie is entitled to a further $1,200 (£811) monthly payment to cover the cost of renting and maintaining an office.

Additionally, the star's older brother Bryan will receive around $200,000 (£135,256) for services he rendered prior to her father taking control.
