Kevin Federline Net Worth

What Is Kevin Federline's Net Worth?

Kevin Federline is an American dancer, DJ, rapper, actor, and television personality who has a net worth of $700 thousand. Kevin Federline, often referred to as "K-Fed," is best known for his marriage to Britney Spears, with whom he has two sons.

Before becoming a tabloid fixture, Federline worked professionally as a backup dancer for major artists including Michael Jackson, Pink, Destiny's Child, and Justin Timberlake. His relationship with Spears propelled him to a completely different level of fame beginning in 2004. The couple starred together in the reality series "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic," and Federline attempted to capitalize on his celebrity with the 2006 rap album "Playing with Fire," acting roles, modeling campaigns, reality television, and appearances with WWE. After his marriage ended, his public life became increasingly centered around raising his six children and his long-running custody and child-support arrangement with Spears. Britney ultimately paid Federline roughly $5 million in child support over approximately 17 years before her final payment in November 2024. In 2023, Federline relocated with his family to Hawaii, and in 2025, he released his memoir, "You Thought You Knew."

Early Life

Kevin Earl Federline was born on March 21, 1978, in Fresno, California. His mother, Julie, worked as a bank teller, while his father, Mike, was a car mechanic.

After his parents divorced when Kevin was eight, he and his brother, Chris, moved with their mother to Carson City, Nevada. Three years later, the boys returned to Fresno to live with their father.

Federline dropped out of high school during his freshman year but later earned his GED. He began performing with the nonprofit organization Dance Empowerment and discovered that professional dancing offered a potential career.

By his late teens and early 20s, Federline was working as a backup dancer for major touring acts. His credits eventually included Michael Jackson, Pink, Destiny's Child, LFO, and Justin Timberlake.

Dancing and Entertainment Career

Federline's earliest on-camera work grew naturally out of his dancing career. He appeared in music videos including Christina Milian's "AM to PM" and Pink's "Get the Party Started" in 2001.

He also appeared as a dancer in television productions before his relationship with Britney Spears turned him into a celebrity in his own right.

In 2005, Federline and Spears starred in the UPN reality series "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic." Much of the footage had been recorded personally by the couple during their relationship, giving viewers an unusually intimate look at their courtship and marriage. The series lasted only five episodes but became an enduring artifact of the intense celebrity culture surrounding Spears during the mid-2000s.

Federline also pursued music. He released the single "Y'all Ain't Ready" in 2005 and followed it with his debut album, "Playing with Fire," in 2006. The record was critically panned and failed to establish him as a serious recording artist, although the attention surrounding it generated considerable publicity.

His other releases included "PopoZão," "Rollin' V.I.P.," and the later single "Hollywood."

Federline leaned into his public image rather than avoiding it. In 2007, he starred in a Nationwide Insurance Super Bowl commercial that depicted him fantasizing about being a successful rapper before revealing that he was actually working in a fast-food restaurant.

He also made several appearances on "WWE Raw." In one memorable storyline, Federline feuded with John Cena and defeated the WWE star in a scripted match after interference from Umaga.

Acting and Reality Television

Federline accumulated a number of small acting credits during and after his marriage to Spears. He appeared on television series including "The Drew Carey Show," "Will & Grace," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," and "One Tree Hill."

His film credits included "You Got Served," "The Onion Movie," and "American Pie Presents: The Book of Love."

In 2006, Federline became the face of Five Star Vintage, a clothing line from Blue Marlin. He also modeled and made paid appearances during the height of his celebrity.

As his recording and acting career faded, Federline increasingly appeared on reality television. In 2010, he participated in VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club," where he appeared alongside his former girlfriend Shar Jackson.

In 2012, he competed on the Australian weight-loss series "Excess Baggage." His participation was interrupted by health issues, including heat stress and an episode involving chest pains.

Britney Spears Marriage

Federline began dating Britney Spears in 2004 while his former girlfriend Shar Jackson was pregnant with their second child. The timing generated intense tabloid attention almost immediately.

Kevin and Britney became engaged after only a few months together and held a wedding ceremony in September 2004. Their marriage was legally formalized the following month after their prenuptial agreement was completed.

Their first son, Sean Preston, was born in September 2005. Their second son, Jayden James, followed in September 2006.

Spears filed for divorce in November 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in 2007.

The couple initially shared custody, but Spears experienced a highly publicized personal crisis during 2007 and early 2008. Federline was subsequently granted primary custody of the boys. Spears was placed under the conservatorship that controlled much of her personal and financial life from 2008 until 2021.

Custody arrangements evolved over the years, but Federline remained the boys' primary parent for much of their childhood.

Child Support and Divorce Payments

Federline's finances have been closely associated with his divorce from Spears because of the large child-support payments he received over nearly two decades.

Under their original arrangement, Britney paid Kevin $20,000 per month in child support. Federline later said in his memoir that he also received $20,000 per month in spousal support for approximately half the length of their 26-month marriage.

In 2018, Federline sought a substantial increase in child support. He argued that his income was nowhere near Spears' and that he could not provide their sons with a comparable standard of living.

The two sides ultimately reached a confidential settlement that increased Britney's monthly child-support obligation from $20,000 to approximately $40,000.

When Sean Preston turned 18 in 2023, the payment was reduced to $20,000 per month. Jayden turned 18 in September 2024, but the payments continued because he had not yet graduated from high school.

Britney made her final child-support payment in November 2024. Over the approximately 17 years that followed the couple's divorce, Spears paid Federline roughly $5 million in child support.

Those payments were gross household support rather than personal income to Federline, covering expenses associated with raising the boys, including housing, schooling, transportation, staff, and other costs.

"You Thought You Knew"

In October 2025, Federline released his memoir, "You Thought You Knew."

The book chronicled his childhood, dance career, relationships, sudden celebrity, marriage to Spears, divorce, and experiences raising six children. It also marked one of the first times Federline had spoken at length publicly about his version of events surrounding the marriage and custody battle.

Federline disclosed details about his divorce settlement and made a number of allegations regarding Spears' behavior during and after their marriage. Spears disputed his portrayal, and her representative criticized Federline for releasing the book shortly after his child-support payments had ended.

Federline also revealed that he and Spears had gone years without speaking directly to one another, with communication regarding their sons largely taking place through intermediaries.

Personal Life

Before his relationship with Spears, Federline dated actress Shar Jackson. They have two children together: daughter Kori, born in 2002, and son Kaleb, born in 2004.

Federline and Spears have sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Kevin later began a relationship with former volleyball player Victoria Prince. They welcomed daughter Jordan in 2011 and married in Las Vegas in August 2013. Their second daughter, Peyton, was born in 2014. Federline therefore has six children in total.

In 2013, the IRS filed a federal tax lien against Federline for $57,615 in unpaid taxes.

Move to Hawaii

In 2023, Federline and Victoria moved their family from California to Hawaii. Victoria had received a job opportunity connected to athletics at a university in the state, and Federline sought Spears' permission to relocate Sean and Jayden with them because both boys were still minors.

Spears ultimately agreed to the move.

Federline settled with his family on Oahu, where he has maintained a considerably lower public profile than during his years in Los Angeles. Reports have placed the rent on the family's Hawaii residence at around $14,000 per month.

The move coincided with the final years of Federline's child-support arrangement with Spears and represented another major transition in a life that had taken him from professional backup dancer to one of the most photographed celebrity spouses of the 2000s and, eventually, a largely private father of six.
