Everyone knows that Britney Spears loves the good life - but according to a report in In Touch Weekly, she may have been living even larger than we thought!After going through Brit's books following his appointment as her conservator, the pop starlet's father Jamie has learned that in a little over a year, his daughter has spent a whopping sixty-one million dollars! Apparently, "legal bills, rehab, and psychiatric care" were the main offenders - hey, getting help costs money!
Worse, some experts believe that Britney may have cost herself a pile of money, too. According to Robert Bianchi - a LA-based CPA who doesn't handle Britney's finances - “By not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million.†Damn, y'all - that's a lot of Frappucinos!
Fortunately, Jamie quickly hired his own accountants to get Brit's finances in check - after all, even with all that waste, Brit's still got a metric ton of money left. And, happily, it seems like Britney's spendthrift ways may be coming to an end - according to a family friend, "[s]he's spending about a fifth of what she used to"!
Also, here's a few pix of Brit arriving at the studio yesterday for her latest stint on HIMYM - with a gig like that, money won't be a concern for her for long!

Sixty-one million dollars in a year? That's some Brewster's Millions-level spending!
