Britney Spears buys $7.4m mansion

Britney Spears has spent $7.4 million on a lavish mansion in California. The 'Work' hitmaker is currently on her Las Vegas residency but still managed to find time to snap up the property in the secluded town of Thousand Oaks, nestled against the Santa Monica Mountains, for the generous sum. The 33-year-old star reportedly sealed the deal last week, according to gossip website TMZ.com, when she spotted the five bedroom property up for sale for the impressive amount after its price had been slashed from $11.995 million. The 13,264 sq-ft estate is complete with seven bathrooms, five of which are en suites, and a charming infinity pool. The estate comes with its own tennis court, perfect for the long summer evenings with friends, and a three-hole golf course suitable for early morning practice on a Sunday. Britney, who has a number of homes under her belt in Malibu, Beverly Hills and Hollywood, is currently living in rented accommodation, but looks set to move into this one. News the blonde stunner has snapped up a new house comes just a few months after it was announced she has taken pen to paper and signed another two-year contract to extend her show 'Piece of Me' at Planet Hollywood, Nevada.
