Oops, Britney did it again! The pop star, who has hopped from house to house around LA over the last decade, has reportedly just closed on a sprawling Italian villa in Thousand Oaks. The five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath main residence is over 13,000 square-feet and sits on 20 picturesque acres. It comes equipped with every possible amenity, from a golf course to tennis courts to a massive wine cellar. With its resort-like vibe, it's easy to mistake the private home for a five-star hotel.
The Femme Fatale singer dropped a cool $7.4 million on the mansion — small change for Brit, who's now making a reported $475,000 a show during her Las Vegas residency.
On the real estate circuit, the purchase is being considered quite a steal since the mansion was originally listed for several million more and has a current appraisal value of $13.4 million on Zillow. So how did Britney get such a great deal? It could be because she purchased it from the bank; Trulia lists the home's prior status as foreclosed.
While we may never know how Ms. Spears negotiated such a fantastic price, we can confidentially say that she and sons Sean Preston and Jayden will have a wonderful time living here.
