The Spears’ estate paid for ads in Hollywood trade magazines praising Ms. Taylor and Tri Star. And payments were made to the media to present the conservatorship as good and the Free Britney movement as "crazies." Additional advertising for Lou Taylor and Tri Star could have been made without the estate accounting noting them.

Over the next 10 years through a variety of revenue streams, Lou Taylor made millions off of Britney.  

And when Britney refused to work unless her Dad was removed as conservator, Tri Star requested and received payments ongoing payments.

And almost entirely because she was Britney’s manager, Louise M. Taylor, became a manager in entertainment, with clients including the Kardashians, Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire.

Are Millions Missing?

Once the conservatorship was in-place everyone stopped pretending that Britney was too ill to work. The superstar was quickly sent on a 97-show international tour, known as The Circus Starring Britney Spears. It was a commercial success, with a total gross of $131.8 million. The Circus may have been the highest-grossing tour of its type for the decade.

And that was only the beginning. It is estimated that she was paid $137 million for a residency in Vegas.  2011's, Femme Fatale Tour, grossed  millions, as well. And the 79 show tour was included on Pollstar's Top 100 North American Tours list.

Britney also appeared on high-profile TV shows. 

Although she has not recorded any new music since 2016 it is common sense that she would receive residuals for her extensive recording portfolio. Britney Spears has 28.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify. 

Most experts estimate that Britneys’ estate should be worth hundreds of millions.

Charles J. Harder, Lou Taylor’s attorney claims that Tri Star “faithfully served the estate” and helped Ms. Spears build an estimated $60 million fortune. “That is a success by any standard.”

But Britney’s attorney Mathew Rosengart is making it clear that he’s investigating how Lou Taylor’s company was running Britney’s life and exactly how much that cost her.

For month’s he has been demanding Taylor and Tri Star declare how much they made from Britney’s estate. And that “Tri Star’s ongoing failure to answer this question speaks volumes and leads to the unfortunate and inexorable conclusion that Tri Star has much to hide,” he says. 

California judicial rules say, “the conservator must avoid any personal, business or professional interest or relationship that is or reasonably could be perceived as being self-serving or adverse to the best interest of the conservatee.”
