Sam Asghari Cashes In on Divorce with Britney Spears.
Sam Asghari maintained a notably low profile throughout his divorce from Britney Spears; however, he is now beginning to express his perspective on the matter, potentially earning a substantial income in the process.
In a recent episode of the "Sibling Revelry" podcast hosted by Kate and Oliver Hudson, Sam provided exclusive insights into his experience of being married to the pop icon, who was under a conservatorship for most of their relationship.
He stated that their relationship was initially "great," but he soon realized the challenges of living under her conservatorship, which he claimed deprived her of "basic rights." Sam asserted that he backed Britney in her efforts to escape the conservatorship, from which she was liberated in 2022.
“Everything was going really well until one day, I started learning about what the conservatorship is,” Sam reflected.
“That was the weirdest thing to deal with,” he continued, adding people in the entertainment industry are often there to take advantage of you. “It’s never the fans, It’s never the media,”

Sam and Britney entered into marriage a few months following his release, but they parted ways over a year later in 2023. Their divorce was officially concluded last year.
Sam's recent podcast interview, while not containing any controversial statements, signifies a newfound openness regarding his ex-wife. There may be financial motivations at play, as it is known that some celebrities receive compensation for their podcast appearances, with reports suggesting that guests can earn as much as $50,000 for a single session.
In May 2024, Sam and Britney finalized their divorce settlement, although many specifics remain confidential. The couple had entered into a prenuptial agreement prior to their marriage; however, the duration of their union did not meet the criteria for Sam to receive a financial payout as stipulated in the agreement. It is plausible that Britney proposed a settlement not only to expedite the divorce process but also to ensure that Sam would refrain from disclosing certain aspects of their marriage.
Britney's net worth is estimated at $60 million, while Sam's personal wealth is around $5 million. The Iranian-born actor is establishing his presence in Hollywood, having participated in various television projects since his separation from Britney. Currently, he is featured in the latest season of The Traitors, where contestants typically receive a daily allowance rather than a fixed fee, meaning their earnings are contingent upon the duration of their appearance on the show.
