In Touch weekly reports that the Spears family was in shock to find out how much money Britney Spears blew before her father stepped in stop the crazy. Jamie Spears has hired a CPA out of his own pocket to access the damage of Britney’s bank account since that fateful day she shaved her head. Jamie’s number crunchers come up with a staggering figure of $61 million dollars lost since that day in February 2007.

In addition to the enormous tab for legal bills, rehab and psychiatric care, Britney’s inability to work has cost her a fortune. “By not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million,” estimates Robert Bianchi, an LA-based CPA who isn’t an accountant for Britney. Jamie hired his own accountants to sort out the money mess and bring an end to the 26-year-old’s excessive spending. “It’s been quite a challenge getting things under control,” the insider says. Luckily, as Britney’s mental health improves, so does her bottom line. “She’s spending about a fifth of what she used to,” the insider adds.
