Love her or hate her (you obviously know where we stand), no one gives Britney the credit she deserves. The pop star is finally getting recognition for her recent comeback moves. The Daily Mail has uncovered the full details behind Britney's pop princess empire. Brit made sure that every single bit of her fortune was protected. She even tricked us with a fake wedding since the prenup was not in place. Here's more:
The event, on September 18, 2004, in the modest back garden of a friend's house in the Los Angeles suburb of Studio City, was meant to be the "real thing" but, with Federline yet to sign the pre-nup, a proper wedding could not go ahead.
So, with the paparazzi on her case, Britney decided to stage the "fake" wedding - and drew up a watertight contract to ensure the ceremony was not legally binding.
The pair were then married for real in a secret ceremony on October 6 - after Federline had signed the agreement that banned him from making any future claim against any assets his wife had prior to their marriage.
A source linked to the prenuptial negotiations said last night: "Everyone thinks Britney is this hick from Louisiana but, in reality, she is an extraordinarily astute businesswoman who has built herself into a global brand.
Click here to check out more details of Britney's empire - it's totally fascinating. Not only is Brit a smart business woman, but she's a hardworking mom too. She's apparently hiding out with family this week. Hopefully we'll get to see more of Britney coming back!

yay britney! that's a pretty cute picture of her and sean preston. looks like someone needs a nap or something. hehehe
1Haha! Go Britney!
2i knew she was smarter than that
3and sean is so cute but i wanna see jayden
Wow, that's like soap opera conniving. LOL Good for her!
4so.......she marries a loser with a kid and a pregnant ex girlfriend, and seems to know from the get-go that it will not last.......but proceeds to get pregnant not once but TWICE in as many years......
can someone please explain to be how that makes her smart?
5She wasn't smart enough not to marry KFed in the first place. I suspect she is only intelligent enough to hire the best money can buy to do the thinking for her and that she had very little to do with the prenup.
6so let me get this straight---
she marries a guy with a kid and a pregnant ex girlfriend (the biggest red flag the gods could have given her), gets pregnant not once but TWICE in as many years, and seems to have planned ahead to the whole thing not working out.
can someone explain to me how that makes her "smart"???
7Nah, sounds like she had some people looking out for her... Glad to hear it though!
8Yay Brit! I just want to pinch Sean Preston's cheeks!
9Woot Woot

10Britney looks great. You can tell she loves her kids so much. Good for her getting her life together. Go Brit!
11MBM
12I seem to remember hearing she didn't want to sign a pre-nup & it was her lawyer (or manager??) and her mom that basically made her. Who cares, at least it's in place & hopefully it will prevent KFed from making a penny.
I really hope there is no sex tape for him to profit from. BTW, would she we entitled to half the $$ if there was one?? Hmm...
and what is with that nasty looking wig??
13All I want to say is bye bye Fedex! THANK YOU for finally doing it Britney!
14smart business woman? i don't think so. she pays people to take care of her business. they are the smart ones. they wouldn't want her to lose all her money...she pays them too. at least give credit where credit it due and it's not to britney.
15Kristin and Babsee, I totally agree. I had heard her mother and lawyers begged her to do the pre-nup. Calling Britney smart is more than a stretch. Didn't you see Chaotic? Or the Matt Lauer interview? When left to think for herself, the girl proves she's a total dolt.
16Are you sure that is Sean P? He just looks so little there. I hope she make a great comeback....in fact, just to show my support (when she does release her new album) I am going to buy like 5 copies of it! Yeah!
17Hmm...that doesn't Look like Sean...is this an old photo?
18Way to go Brit-o. I don't care who did the thinking for her, I'm just glad someone did.
19If she is so smart then why did she marry that guy in the first place. This is damage control.
20hey!!!!! whered the picture of brit kissing sean p go?!?! i was gonna link my cousin. =(
21ummmmm why did pop change the pic of britney holding the baby. Maybe that was Jayden and they were made to remove the pic.
22Thats what I ws going to ask.....
23that baby looked to big to be jayden....
24but it looked too young to be Sean. Remember Sean is a pretty big boy.
25mhm your right...i thought his face looked a bit different.
26perezhilton.com took down the photo too. but usually pop says "sorry, had to take the pic down....." weirdness.
27yeah i was just on PerezHilton.com too and the picture was taken down. Very Weird.
28Glad to hear this bum isn't gonna get away with too much, but I wouldn't call her the smart one. How quickly was her first marriage annulled thanks to mama and the lawyer??? She's young, fine- but hopefully (and it seems like it) she is starting to wise up now that she is a mom and needs to be responsible. Hey- I didn't read the article, but wasn't something written up that Brit said Madonna told her to get married? From what I remember, it didn't sound like Brit was proud of it but it was someone else's (Madonna's) great idea (Kaballah stuff)??? Just wondering.....
29Sorry anyone who marries this loser and has two kids with him is as dumb as rocks! I see they are doing a pretty good job trying to revamp her pitiful image.
30Britney Spears is far from smart.
She proposed to, bought the ring for and married a man who obviously was after her money. Then proceeded to have not one but two kids by the man back to back.
She is the Queen of all silly women.
If he's the King then she crowned him that.
31i think she wanted the babies waaaaayyy more than she wanted the hubby.
so i guess it's better to have married and have it fall apart then to just have the baby you desire and avoid all the legal and financial mess??
32ya- that is so sad that she bought her own engagement ring. she pretty much made it so all that loser had to do was show up. he never had to work for her.
no wonder he has no respect for her-- she never required any from him.
33I think you are right about her wanting the kids more than the man, but that's really sad for the kids. I'm sure they would love to have a steady father.
Why oh why, couldn't she have been smart enough and not cheat on old Justin so he could possibly be the father. Why ruin your life (who cares how much money she has, there is nothing great about having to see your kids miss having a father) with such a loser. Why not be smart enough to plan to marry a good man. She was in the position to pick someone really great.
I guess because birds of a feather flock together and if he's a lowlife so is she.
34She's not that smart at all...her vocabulary doesn't go much farther than "awesome," or "totally cool." She just has a really smart lawyer.
35I think you are right she did want the babies more than the man, and I think that's sad.
There is nothing smart about having to explain to your children why their dad isn't in their life.
No matter what amount of money she has.
She was in the position to pick someone really great, instead she forced a relationship with someone who she knew wasn't into commitment.
That is not smart and should not be praised.
36and how sad that she bought her own engagement ring. she pretty much set it up so all kev had to do was just show up.he never had to work for her, or persue her, nothing.
he treated her badly because she never required he have any respect for her.
hope she learned a lesson from that.
37Well gee, if I had millions upon millions of dollars I would be an amazing businesswoman and have air tight contracts only because I would hire the best money could buy to make sure that money keeps rolling in and no one gets it. I don't give britney that much credit. I think her parents were more behind her getting him to sign this than she was.
38babsee, is that Robert Plant in your gravatar?
I agree, this was one heck of a plan. LOL
Honestly, if anyone here actually thinks Brit thought of this herself- I do not know what to say. I can guess her lawyers had this on lock as soon as they saw the white trash she was hanging out with.
One thing I can not call Britney is smart- sorry
39If I remember correctly she didn't even want a prenup in the first place. Her mom forced her to do it.
40Call her "smart" all you want, but she CHOSE K-Fed. She proposed to HIM! That was a horrible choice!
The contracts are the result of her attorney's brains...not hers.
If she was truly smart, and not just greedy, she would have protected her family! (by not dragging them with her during her paparazzi rounds) Don't you think the Child Services incidents will come into play when they battle for custody?
41actually, Britney was created, not by herself, but by good management. It is known in the music world by anyone with credibility.
42found this on popdirt and dlisted..0000 the horror!!
STD Prompts Singer's C-Section
A blind item in The New York Post asks, "Which singer had to deliver her child via Cesarean because of a raunchy STD her estranged husband gave her?" According to webmd, the STD's which could require a Cesarean include herpes and human papillomavirus (genital warts).
43Brit may be smarter than some people think, but kFED-EX is just as STUPID as we thought!!! BWahahahah!!!
44babsee...why do i get the feeling that the marraige was an ARRANGEMENT.
he gives her a baby
she gives him a shot at stardom
is has been reported she planned on divorcing him after seans birth but then got sidetracked (knocked up) and NOW she is going ahead with the divorce,just as planned.
she might very well be puttin on the victime act to cover up her scheme....but hey.
my hunches bout her havent been wrong.
45If Britney Spears is "smart", then Tori Spelling is "gorgeous." Uh-huh. Maybe in an alternate universe.
There's nothing "smart" about having a string of high paid lawyers who breathe just to protect your assests and grow your brand. Britney is no "smarter" than Paris in that sense. Haven't any of you heard her speak?! She's painful to watch.
(and isn't it true that she practically had to be hand-forced to sign a pre-nup with Kevin? Yeah, she's a real Einstein, that one.)
46eh, I don't know that i'd call her smart. she's damn lucky that she has smart people looking out for her though...
47did anybody hear that K-fed was seen leaving walmart buying clothes and staying in cheap hotels???? I wonder where he is going live? LOL!!!!!!
48Britney for President!
If she is so intelligent , maybe she can go work for TEAM AMERICA!
" We are losing intelligence, I repeat, we have no intelligence"
49ahhhhhhh Brit...I have restored my like for you!
