Britney’s allowance

At the height of her fame, Britney was worth a whopping Dhs365 million, so it's no surprise that she got accustomed to spending as she pleased. But with her assets currently being controlled by the courts and Papa Spears, the troubled singer is now on a strict weekly allowance of just Dhs5,500, with the judge insisting that this amount will allow, "[Britney to] spend money, have her freedom, and make choices about how she wants to enjoy her life."

Hmm, not sure she'd agree! So, how is the star who's used to spending thousands on everything from crystal chandeliers to private planes, going to cope?

Ahlan! reveals how much Britney's dhirams will buy her...

Sunbeds
We all know she loves to tan, and luckily she won't have to stop as her Dhs5,5000 will buy her 15 sunbed sessions a week.

Starbucks coffee
With Brit's fave latte just Dhs18, she can get her caffeine fix 305 times over!

A Big Mac
Who wants to dine at The Ivy when there's a MacDs on every corner? And with their handy drive-throughs, the Toxic star doesn't even have to leave her car to get her fast food fix, which she can do 458 times with her allowance.

A new wig
If she wants a new wig, Britney's going to have to save up - or blow her entire weekly budget - as a natural hairpiece from a trendy LA salon costs about Dhs5,500.

A tank of petrol
We know that Brit likes to be followed around by the photographers, and luckily for her, she can fill up her car 11 times a week, so she's always being papped.

One chandelier
Even with an allowance, Brit can indulge in her lighting fetish, as a crystal chandelier would only cost her Dhs4,440 - leaving plenty of change for a coffee and a burger afterwards!

A new tracksuit
You can take a girl out of the trailer park, but you can't get the trailer park-style out of Brit. So, the woman who famously had her wedding entourage dressed in trackies for her nuptials can pick up six new Juicy Couture tracksuits with her weekly limit.

Dinner at Romanov
Brit only spent Dhs220 on her meal last week with Mel Gibson, which means that her Dhs5,500 limit can still buy another 25 dinners a deux.

Brit's mounting bills
Allowances aside, Brit's costs are spiralling out of control. Currently, she spends Dhs55,000 a month on her entertainment lawyer, Dhs92,000 a month on her legal consultant, has spent Dhs3.7 million so far on her ongoing custody battle and has been ordered by the courts to cough up Dhs1.4 million to pay K-Fed's legal fees. Ouch!

Ahlan! says
It seems that Britney's Dhs5,500 allowance is still plenty for her to enjoy her usual routine, and there's no threat of the Gimme More singer being denied her usual treats. But let's just hope she doesn't need to do a stint in rehab anytime soon, because last time a stay at Promises cost Britney over Dhs400,000! She'd have to save over a year to afford that one...
