Who knew you could get paid for being a dad?

Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears had been making about $10,000 a month since February to look after Britney's finances.

But, apparently, that wasn't enough.

A Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner gave Jamie a $6,000-a-month raise on Monday.

A nice Christmas bonus! But that's not all.

Jamie Spears also gets an additional $1,200-a-month expense accoung to keep up an office to deal with his daughter's affairs.

Doesn't she have a few houses where he could just set up in the den?

Without the expense account, Britney's dad's hourly wage comes to about $75/hour.

But from the looks of things, it is money well spent. Britney's new CD Circus debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts, and the singer and mother-of-two has curbed her previous, panty-free ways.

Good job, dad!
