Illustration by Forbes, Nick Ut/AP, Anthony Harvey/Getty Images,Onetime pop music queen Britney Spears’ fortune is tiny compared to J-Lo, Jessica Simpson and Beyonce. 1 albums, a Grammy award and a string of world tours that paid her tens of millions of dollars. In 2002, Forbes named her the world’s most powerful celebrity, with an estimated $40 million of income before taxes and fees. But when it comes to net worth, the fallen pop queen has lagged far behind: Spears, once a dominant and ascending force in pop culture, has a net worth of $60 million; Simpson and Lopez each have built fortunes of more than $100 million, according to Forbes estimates. After several years of media scrutiny, Spears suffered a public mental breakdown and was put under court-ordered conservatorship in 2008.
