Inside Britney Spears's $14 million home where she married Sam Asghari

There were plenty of contenders when Britney Spears and husband Sam Asghari were choosing the location for their wedding.

Soon after their engagement, Spears took to TikTok to explain their “predicament”.

"I have no idea where we want to get married,” she told fans. "We don't know if we want to get married in Italy, Greece, Australia or New York City.”

Ultimately, the couple chose something much closer to home. Literally.

The duo tied the knot on Thursday in an intimate ceremony held on the grounds of Spears’s sprawling California property, with celebrity guests such as Madonna, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Donatella Versace in attendance.

Spears has lived in her Thousand Oaks home since 2015 and it is thought to be worth nearly $14 million.

The gated property sits within the exclusive White Stallion Estates community, on a plot of land measuring 21 acres.

The neoclassical Italian-style villa measures 12,464 square feet and has five bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms.

A large foyer is home to classical columns, a 35-foot-high ceiling, marble floors, a fireplace and windows that highlight the expansive views offered by the hilltop property.

There is also a wood-panelled library, chef's kitchen, a home theatre and a six-car garage.

Interiors are covered in marble, with oversized statement chandeliers in the kitchen and living rooms.

Additional facilities include a large infinity pool and spa, tennis court and a three-green golf course complete with sand traps.

The living room will be familiar to anyone who follows the star on Instagram, as this is the site of the regular dance videos that she posts on the social media platform.

However, as Spears revealed in an Instagram post a few months ago, although she has traditionally been modest about her home, this is one of three large living rooms in the property.

“I’ve been pretty modest about the home I live in now. I know you guys have seen me dance in my living room… but honestly I have three living rooms,” she wrote. “Maybe one day I’ll give you guys a tour but until then here’s the pink sky.”

She also announced that she would soon be moving out of her current home. “I’ve lived in this house for seven years and I’m in the process of buying a new home… it’s time for change.”

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
