Russian farmer eyes Britney Spears' California Mansion

A Russian farmer could become the proud owner of US pop diva Britney Spears' USD 7.9 million mansion in California.

According to the Russian agency, Doki, the potential buyer for the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom Renaissance style home is a 48-year-old farmer from the South Russian city of Krasnodar.

The farmer identified only by his first name 'Alexei' and his family are expected to leave for US for viewing of the pop star's house.

"The man has primarily been involved in agriculture for the past 16 years. At the current time among Alexei's assets are 1,000 hectares of land, two pig farms, horticultural gardens and fruit and vegetable production facilities," a press release said.

Apparently, one of the reasons he was attracted to the property is that his three daughters are huge Britney Spears fans.

"My daughters couldn't believe it when I told them, that they really could live in the home of their idol," the Russian farmer was quoted as saying in a statement by the real estate agency.
