As she recites the litany of Britney lore she’s been retelling for fourteen years, Fay’s voice bends toward boredom, but she swerves into tenderness at certain anecdotes. She tells stories of fans who arrive at her door like pilgrims, armed with indulgences, and present her with their taped-together poster boards and glitter-drenched collages, love-lined dioramas. The primary suite boasts a fireplace, seating area, terrace, dual walk-in closets the size of a small boutique, and even an exercise room.

During this time, she also appeared on the popular show Star Search and was cast in numerous commercials. In 1992 she finally got her big break and was accepted on The Mickey Mouse Club along with fellow celebs Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Kerri Russell. This was the infamous home where both Murphy and her husband passed away between 2009 and 2010. Given its tragic history, and longtime claims of severe mold inside the property, the home was torn down in 2013 and a brand new residence was built in its place. Already famous thanks to the singer’s countless dancing videos filmed here, the massive open kitchen has moody, dark wooden cabinets and a large center island.

Interiors are covered in marble, with oversized statement chandeliers in the kitchen and living rooms. The duo tied the knot on Thursday in an intimate ceremony held on the grounds of Spears’s sprawling California property, with celebrity guests such as Madonna, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Donatella Versace in attendance. There were plenty of contenders when Britney Spears and husband Sam Asghari were choosing the location for their wedding.

The pop musician reactivated her account Wednesday to show off her new husband, Sam Asghari, and her new house, complete with a “sick” yard, a pool and a “hella fast” water slide. The 40-year-old pop queen purchased the 11,650-square-foot mansion after her June wedding to fitness trainer Sam Asghari, reportedly moving into the home and seemingly doing few, if any, renovations. But she did not stay long, citing privacy concerns, and listed the mansion off-market for $12 million early this year. Spears still owns the Thousand Oaks, California, mansion she bought in 2015.

The sources allege she’s been spending close to $1 million on each trip to French Polynesia, flying private and staying at The Brando, a private island resort. These pricey trips are reportedly putting quite a dent in the bank account, too, as she apparently goes every month or two. Baby One More Time” and “Toxic” singer appeared to address the latest legal development on Instagram in a since-deleted post that blasted her parents. The 3-bedroom home also boasts an old-fashioned stereo system to listen to all of Britney's hit songs throughout the years. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

I stare in at an angle, standing next to a life-size cutout of the starlet with a milk mustache, posing for a Got Milk? Spears, who turned 39 in December, has been under conservatorship since 2008. … I Did It Again” singer has not had any say in most aspects of her life since then, prompted by her very public signs of a breakdown in 2007. Her father, Jamie Spears, and newly an additional “care manager,” has had legal, financial and professional control over Britney for more than 12 years.

A collection of Britney calendars are taped to a room divider, which stands next to a wall covered in concert merch, laminated VIP tickets, and a collage of photos of Britney onstage. Fay tells me a young fan sent all this in and that his mother called after he wouldn’t tell Fay why he was sending in his prized possessions to tell her that her son was dying of an inoperable brain tumor. On the off-ramp into town, I see the water tower emblazoned with the Kentwood logo, familiar from plastic bottles. I drive down the town’s main street, past buildings with drooping awnings and wilting, cantilevered roofs, an abandoned white brick structure that reads “Kentwood Glass” in faded, sky-blue letters and a boarded-up bar called Sip Some Daiquiris. I stop at a red light next to This & That Pawn Shop, across from a café called The Cafe, which does appear to be an accurate moniker. Britney was repeatedly followed here and photographed and the resulting images posted to gossip sites.

There are plenty of cozy rooms in Britney Spears' gorgeous mansion

"We're selling a legacy—we're selling Louisiana history. Pop history. We're not selling square footage," listing agent Hulsey told People magazine. The museum’s centerpiece is a room within a room, a glass wall protecting it from the rest of the house, from our sweaty fingertips and heady breath. It is a reconstruction of Britney’s childhood bedroom, the one immortalized in a 1999 David LaChapelle cover shoot for Rolling Stone. It’s not a replica but a reconstruction, using Britney’s original belongings, down to the uprooted carpeting from the room she spent her childhood in—all donated by her parents while she toured, growing up on the road. One of the photos from the shoot is taped to the glass so her fans can encounter the uncanniness of the re-creation.

"Before going home, I would follow a path to our neighbors' house, through a landscaped yard and past a swimming pool," Spears said. "They had a rock garden full of small, soft pebbles that would trap the heat and stay warm in a way that felt so good against my skin. "We had a little brick house with green-striped wallpaper and wood paneling," Spears added. "As a girl I went to Sonic, rode go-karts, played basketball, and attended a Christian school called Parklane Academy."

Spears upgraded to an official celeb-style home and threw down $2.975 million for a gorgeous mansion in Hollywood Hills. The pop star later sold the property to Brittany Murphy for a cool $3.85 million. In 1999, Britney was 18 years old, one of the biggest names in pop music, and ready to shop prime real estate. With her newfound fame and money to blow, Spears bought a 6,539 square foot custom-home on the outskirts of her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. Her mom, Lynne, still lived there all the way up until 2022, when the home sold to new owners. The main bedroom is complete with a fireplace, sitting area, terrace, an exercise room, dual walk-in closets, and a bath with a soaking tub and steam shower.

You can also find relaxing outdoor dining and living areas that overlook the manicured gardens on the property. There is also a list of luxury amenities including a 10-seat home theater with leather reclining seats, a walk-in safe, a wine cellar, a game room with a mahogany wet bar, a gift-wrapping room, and a pet wash basin. The singer, who was born in and attended school in nearby McComb, Mississippi, wrote about growing up in her family's Kentwood home in her recently released memoir. Outside of the house itself, the property is surrounded by green space that includes mature trees. The living room will be familiar to anyone who follows the star on Instagram, as this is the site of the regular dance videos that she posts on the social media platform.

Thanks to views like this, the mansion is an upgrade from the former "Mickey Mouse Club" cast members' others houses. Britney still owns "Serenity," her family home in Kentwood, Louisiana, according to Variety. But we're sure that the Santa Monica Mountains bring the fitness queen a lot more joy. In November 2012 Spears purchased a $6.774 million, 8,456-square-foot, five-bedroom, single-story mansion in the gated neighborhood of  Sherwood Country Club. During this time Spears was engaged to her former agent, Jason Trawick, so it makes complete sense that she’d want a fresh, new start.

It's probably where she works on that tan she seems to somehow sustain all year long — and that bikini bod she's been maintaining since the '90s. While the sprawling property might seem like a lot of space for Britney, she certainly seems to make the most of every last square foot and acre. The singer-songwriter is always sharing photos and videos of her getting creative in her home on social media. In a statement released Friday, the attorney for the singer, Matthew Rosengart, said, "As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court or entangled with legal proceedings in this matter." The resortlike backyard features a 2,000-square-foot entertaining area with a barbecue center and fireplace.

Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart had also sought a public reckoning over what he said was financial malfeasance by Jamie Spears and allegations of excessive surveillance of Spears. In 2022, the former Las Vegas headliner landed a $15-million book deal that resulted in the publication of her bombshell memoir “The Woman in Me” last fall. The revelatory account — chronicling her early career, romances with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline and the conservatorship — was released to much fanfare and impressive sales. It sold more than 1.1 million copies in the United States its first week. In January, Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, announced that the book had sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S. alone across multiple formats.

She graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Journalism and worked in the newspaper industry for almost two decades in multiple roles including Sports Editor, Page Designer and Online Editor. Britney Spears fought hard for the right to be able to spend her own money, and her fans passionately advocated for her to be freed from her father’s conservatorship. I’m sure the last thing anyone wants to see now is for her to get into money trouble now that she finally is able to call her own shots.

But she's stronger than yesterday and, these days, it's nothing but her way. The Miss American Dream now lives her best life in a gorgeous mansion fit for a queen. One of the best features of Britney Spears's mansion has got to be the stunning view it comes with. The star's infinity pool looks over the lush valleys and mountains of Santa Barbara, and comes accompanied by blue lounge chairs. A hot tub—one of the musician's favourite lounge spots—sits next to the pool, not too far away from Spears's glass pool house, which features ivory interiors like the rest of her home. Around the time Britney was married to the Grand Schmuck of All Schmucks, Kevin Federline, she purchased a gorgeous 9,130-square-foot home in Malibu for $13.5 million.
