Magazine Estimates Britney Spears Is Worth $120 Million to Economy
Even When She's Not Touring, Britney's Bringing in Big Bucks

Ever get the feeling somebody is making a whole lot of money off Britney Spears besides Britney Spears?

Portfolio magazine estimates the annual value of Britney Spears to the U.S. economy is 110- to 120-million dollars -- and that's when she isn't even touring.

Portfolio estimates record companies, promoters and licensers make 30- to 40-million dollars because of endorsements, record sales and other business.

It estimates the paparazzi make 4 million dollars from selling photos of the Kentwood native. Celebrity tabloids, web traffic and other media make an estimated 75 million dollars off her in a year. A celebrity tabloid can sell as many as 33 percent more copies if Spears is on the cover.

Her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, pulls in a million dollars a year because of her, and not just the $35,000 a month from spousal and child-support payments. K-Fed reportedly gets $30,000 from nightclubs just to show up.

6. Not much would change. Our m$m would find some other bimbo to obsess about, to dull our senses into
oblivion.

7. They have them lined up...
Paris, Lindsey, etc., etc., and the list goes on. All part of the media coverup of the real news.
