Height weight and net worth
Spears and his slender body stand at a height of 1.63 m (5 ft 4 in), which is quite proportional to his weight of 57 kg (126 pounds). The singer’s body stats 35-27-35 correspond to a size 8 (US) for her dresses.
Twenty years ago, Britney Spears was in heaven. For four years, she racked up platinum (No.1) albums, a Grammy Award, and a series of world tours that grossed her tens of millions of dollars. In 2002, Forbes named her the most powerful celebrity in the world, with an estimated income of $ 40 million before taxes and duties.
In terms of income and star power, she was ahead of her contemporaries Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez – and even today, it’s safe to say she’s sold more concert tickets and albums than both. But when it comes to net worth, the Queen of Pop lags far behind: Britney Spears, once a dominant and ascending force in pop culture, has a net worth of $ 60 million; Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez have each built fortunes of over $ 100 million, according to Forbes estimates. Beyoncé’s fortune is worth seven times as much – not counting the fortune of her billionaire husband Jay-Z.
Where is she now?
Britney’s personal and professional life, which has been a combination of smooth and bumpy driving, and like a story from TV Series, has made audiences question the latest advances in music.
The singer’s whereabouts are not something completely far from the prying eyes of the media. Britney Spears did not close the curtains on her tours. She still performs in shows and has served her works on the Las Vegas table. Spears who had signed a Planet Hollywood contract in Vegas would have signed another one at Monte Carlo Resort.
