The list of the highest-earning musicians of 2010 by Forbes has revealed that Britney Spears has taken the fifth spot, with a total income of £41.8m in the past year. As a result, the affluent pop singer, aged 28, decided to indulge in a shopping spree in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. Despite being troubled in the past, she appeared rejuvenated in a lovely white linen dress. However, she had trouble deciding between her wedge heels and flip flops, hence switching between them throughout her outing.
