It seems like 2012 is going to be a very good year for Ms.Britney Spears. Not only did the 30 year-old recently get engaged, but it seems like she will be getting a huge payday very soon!

Media outlets are reporting that Britney has struck a deal with X Factor to sit on a judge's chair during the next season. Reports are stating that its pretty much a done deal and only need to work out the fine points in the contract.

So how much will Ms. Britney be making as a judge? A whooping $15 million for one season! Now that's a payday!

It seems that even Simon Cowell is excited to get Britney as a judge telling TMZ,

 "I would love to have her on the show. I think she would be a fascinating person to sit next to."

Britney will be filling one of two vacant judging seats, after Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul did not return to the new season.
