According to rules of conservatorship, Britney's father Jamie Spears has been handling and managing all of Britney's financial and professional decisions. The 38-year-old pop-star has to ask permission before taking any significant decision related to her affairs. According to reports, Jamie Spears receives $130,000 annually for helming Britney's conservatorship.
In 2019, Jamie stepped down from the conservatorship due to illness and the role was taken over by Jodi Montgomery, a professional conservator. Now, Britney has petitioned the courts for her father to be permanently removed from the role of custodian of her $57.4 million fortune.
