Britney Spears' New $7.4M Mansion -- in Her Own Words
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two years into her Las Vegas residency, superstar songstress Britney Spears has splurged on her own residence: A $7.4 million Italian villa in Thousand Oaks, CA, just west of Los Angeles. While we could expound on the estate's glories -- such as the 3,500-bottle wine storage -- Spears herself does a fabulous job.
'Lucky'
According to TMZ, Hollywood insiders consider this five-bedroom estate a major steal, even at $7.4 million. With 20 acres -- which include a tennis court, three-hole golf course, infinity pool, and spa -- we're inclined to agree.

'Work B**ch!'
The home's old-school office may not seem like the right fit for a musician -- the rich mahogany built-ins and box ceiling seem more Ron Burgundy than pop chanteuse -- but Spears' skills are serious enough to make it work. Plus, the jaw-dropping mountain view is certain inspiring.

'Gimme More'
Everything in this 13,264-square-foot home is super-sized. Vaulted ceilings? Let's make them 35 feet high! Courtyard? Try a landscaped concrete-and-grass yard centered around a hedge-encircled fountain, all leading to the columned, two-story entryway.

'Overprotected'
Want to say hello to the girl that she is? No luck here: Two private gates keep unwanted visitors out, and the massive acreage provides plenty of privacy buffer. But we suppose when it comes to seclusion, you can't go overboard if you're Britney Spears.
