Is Jamie Lynn Spears’ Net Worth $6 Million? Here’s How She Makes Her Money
Britney Spears is already a top Amazon book best seller before even releasing her much-anticipated memoir, “The Woman in Me,” meanwhile her sister Jamie Lynn Spears’ book is currently being sold at dollar stores. Since the “Toxi” singer announced the release of her memoir, fans have been posting on social media photos and videos of her younger sister’s book being sold at different bargain stores.
The younger Spears memoir “Things I Should Have Said,” was released on Jan. 18, 2022, of which its sales surely added to Jaime Lynn’s net worth, but apparently not so much. According to People, Britney’s sister even planned to donate the proceeds from her book to a mental health nonprofit, This is My Brave, that focuses on helping people recover from mental illness and addiction, but when the organization found out they publicly declined the donation.
As of late, the former pop princess’ younger sister made headlines for her explosive new memoir, “Things I Should Have Said,” in which she calls Britney’s behavior “paranoid” and “erratic” growing up.
Despite claims to the contrary coming from Britney, in a recent interview while promoting the tell-all book on “Good Morning America,” Jamie Lynn said, “I’ve always been my sister’s biggest supporter.” The 30-year-old mom-of-two, who is 10 years younger than Britney, also insists she had nothing to do with her sister’s 13-year conservatorship, which was terminated late last year.
Furthermore, while Jamie Lynn denies profiting off of Britney’s stardom in any way, the “Toxic” hitmaker declared in her June 2021 court hearing that her whole family makes money off of her. In July, Jamie Lynn addressed speculation that she was on her sister’s payroll with a post on social media. The actress shared a screenshot of a headline that read: “Britney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn shares photos of her home life…after it’s revealed she is the ONLY family member not on the singer’s payroll.” Alongside the screenshot, she wrote: “Facts…now leave my broke ass alone.” It was reported that Britney is the actual owner of Jamie Lynn’s $1 million condo in Destin, Fla.

Britney has released nine studio albums, and according to Caesars Entertainment, she made $137.7 million alone from her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood, which ran from 2013 to 2017.
The lucrative deal saw her earn a minimum of $350,000 per night. Adding to her net worth, she also had partnerships with Pepsi, Skechers and Samsung, but stopped doing commercials in 2015. The “Oops!…I Did It Again” star then stopped performing in 2018 and has yet to release any new music since 2016.

Jamie Lynn Spears starred on the popular Nickelodeon show “Zoey 101” for four seasons from 2005 to 2008, before becoming pregnant at the age of 17 with her eldest daughter Maddie. Some speculated that the series ended because of her pregnancy, but the show’s creator Dan Schneider denied that this was the case in a 2007 interview.
How much money she made during her time working on the show is unclear. Though, if it’s anything close to what Miranda Cosgrove made as the lead of “iCarly,” which premiered a year before “Zoey 101” ended, her salary would have been in the six figures.
Prior to her big break as Zoey Brooks, Jamie Lynn made her acting debut with her sister in “Crossroads” in 2002 at the age of 11. She played the younger version of Britney’s character, Lucy. In the same year, she joined the Nickelodeon family as a cast member on season 8 of the sketch comedy series “All That.”
