LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The aftermath of the split between Sam Asghari and pop icon Britney Spears has brought on an unexpected financial twist.
After Asghari packed his belongings and left their shared Calabasas mansion, valued at an astonishing $11.8 million, it appears that he won't be shouldering the financial responsibility of his new living arrangements.
Contrary to expectations, it's Britney who is reportedly picking up the tab, according to TMZ. Britney, 41, and Asghari, 29, split after 14 months of marriage.
Where is Sam Asghari living now?
Asghari has reportedly sought new horizons in Los Angeles, leaving Britney to foot a monthly bill of $10,000 for his residence.
His new dwelling is a luxury apartment in the high-rise Ten Thousand tower, positioned strategically on the border between Beverly Hills and Century City.
This opulent complex boasts 283 units distributed across 40 floors, offering residents a lifestyle of luxury and indulgence.
Monthly rental options within the Ten Thousand building span from $10,000 to an astonishing $65,000.
Tenants enjoy an array of high-end amenities, including a fully stocked bar, Rolls-Royce valet service, a sprawling one-acre private park, a lap pool, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
Remarkably, the building even offers on-call medical services, including procedures like Botox treatments.
While the standard unit in this high-rise is priced at $10,000, Asghari negotiated an arrangement for a superior apartment at the base price.
But, the surprising act of Britney covering her estranged husband's living expenses has raised eyebrows, given their reportedly acrimonious breakup.
Why is Britney Spears paying Sam Asghari's rent?
Sources close to the situation suggest that Britney's advisors have told her to make this gesture due to emerging legal complexities.
There are indications that Asghari's lawyer might contest the prenuptial agreement, which could likely result in Britney having to provide several hundred thousand dollars to him.
Moreover, despite the lack of ongoing communication between Asghari and Britney, a consensus has been reached regarding the division of their pets.
Asghari is set to take care of their Doberman named Porsha, while Britney will assume responsibility for their remaining four dogs, which include an Australian Shepherd named Sawyer and a new puppy named Snow.
As the saga unfolds, Britney's support network appears to be shrinking, leaving only her attorney, Mat Rosengart, and manager, Cade Hudson, by her side.
