Britney Spears dad, Jamie Spears, got a boatload of money for managing the Femme Fatale Tour … TMZ has learned.
We obtained court documents which reveal the judge in Britney Spears’ conservatorship case awarded Jamie 7,987.37 as a base pay for his services on the tour. In addition, the judge allowable Britney’s personal manager, Larry Rudolph, to give Jamie 20% of his10% commission because Jamie did so much on the tour. Jamie does not reveal the exact amount he gets from Rudolph, but in all Jamie will rake in a 7-figure payday.
And, Jamie is asking that the judge extend his conservatorship fee of ,000 a month indefinitely.
But here’s the real tale … Jamie did the job of 5 people on the tour, and even with Jamie’s fee Britney saved more than a million bucks in salaries.

As if J.K. Rowling wasn’t rich enough — Warner Bros. gave her a token of its appreciation for the latest “Harry Potter” flick — an insanely expensive piece of jewelry.
Sources close to CEO Barry Meyer tell TMZ … Rowling scored a white gold, antique 40-diamond bracelet worth millions of dollars — which he presented to her at the London premiere after-party.
According to sources, Rowling was nervous about donning such a valuable piece of jewelry before she got it insured … but she got a more primitive form of insurance — a bunch of strongly built wellbeing guards at the bash.
Price, of course, is relative — wordwide, the movie has grossed more than half-a-billion bucks.

NFL star Adrian Peterson turned a bunch of Las Vegas casino dwellers into hardcore Minnesota Vikings fans this weekend … by picking up the tab on their buffet dinner!
Our Sin City spies spotted Adrian in line at the Bistro Buffet at the Palms Casino and Resort Friday night, where a couple noticed him and questioned if he was, in fact, Adrian Peterson. We’re told AP answered with his catch phrase (and nickname), “All day.”
Peterson questioned the couple — and about a dozen other people in line for the buffet — if they wanted to join him for dinner … and then picked up the tab for all.
Total cost — about 0.
If that stupid lockout ever ends … Adrian will make roughly .7 million next season — so he’s gonna be alright.
