Britney Spears fell victim to hackers when her mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, was falsely listed for sale on Multiple Listing Service (MLS), according to the New York Post.
TMZ reported that the Los Angeles property was listed for under $9 million USD ($13.7 million AUD), and the false information quickly spread to other US real estate sites like Realtor.com and Zillow, causing a social media frenzy.
Spears’ management team discovered the listing and promptly contacted the real estate agents involved. The agents, unaware of the listing, swiftly removed the property from the sites. Sources told TMZ that the entire incident was a hack, and the hacker’s identity remains unknown.
The false listing had the home marketed for sale at $US9 million.
Spears purchased the lavish estate in 2015 for $7.4 million USD. The home features an infinity pool, tennis court, mini golf course, media room, pool house, and a 3,500-bottle wine cellar, with grand views of the LA skyline. Industry insiders now estimate its value at $10 million USD ($15.22 million AUD).
In 2022, Spears and her now ex-husband Sam Asghari bought a mansion in Calabasas for $11.8 million USD but sold it a year later at a loss for $10.1 million USD. Over the years, Spears has owned properties in Westlake Village, Hollywood Hills, Malibu, Beverly Hills, and two condos in New York’s Greenwich Village. She also owns a property in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, where her mother currently resides.
