Los Angeles - A court has put a higher value on being Britney Spears' father this year: about $75 an hour.
For helping his daughter through her turbulent period, Jamie Spears on Monday was awarded an additional $51 000 payout, reflecting an increase in his monthly payments since he took over his 27-year-old daughter's affairs in February.
Jamie Spears had been receiving $10 000 a month for his work, but Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz increased that amount to approximately $16 000 per month and agreed to give him backpay.
He was also granted an additional $1 200 monthly payment so he can maintain an office, which Goetz said was justified by his work getting his daughter's personal life - and music career - back on track.
