Justin Bieber's Net Worth Is Hot Like A Fever
Justin Bieber’s net worth (January 2024) is estimated to be around $285 million, and he earns about $80 million each year. Such accumulated wealth is not bad for a guy who is still in his twenties. The bulk of his wealth came from his music career. He sold over 150 million albums so far.
Bieber fans adore him. The rest of the world is either neutral about his success or thinks he is an annoying spoiled brat. You are either a fanatic Bieber believer, a “Belieber,” or you are not. If you are unsure what makes a true Belieber, read on, and I will give you a test to see if you qualify.
The Making Of the “Biebs”
Every cultural icon needs a legendary origin story, a rise and a fall, and then if they survive the personal crash, there is a chance for redemption. By repenting enough, asking forgiveness, changing their ways, they get a second chance.
Many like an overnight success story, and then, when a celebrity gets to megastar status, we love to tear them down and see them fail. The reality-television-show-like cycle is exciting. We all get a bit of vicarious pleasure of seeing the success followed by the “schadenfreude” of enjoying the spectacle of a star’s personal disaster.
Justin Bieber played his role in this classic Jungian story of “everyman” perfectly. Sex and drugs and rock and roll. Live young and fast, drink, use drugs, get arrested, go into rehab, find God, and work on redemption on the way to becoming a “mature” artist. He hit all the stages of this perfectly, with a bottom out that was less disastrous than many others.
a Star Is Born
It all started on a clear, cool, starry night on the first of March in 1994. Perhaps a falling star crossed the sky over a city in Canada called London, which is in the province of Ontario. It could be that some of the local people marveled at the conjunction of the Moon with Jupiter, making a brighter illumination than normal in the night sky. A boy was born on that date to an underage teenage girl out of wedlock. Her name is Pattie Mallette. The father was Jeremy Bieber, who was 18 years old at the time.
The too-young couple was ill-prepared for raising a child; however, instead of giving up the baby for adoption, Pattie enlisted the help of her mother, Diane, and her stepfather, Bruce, to raise baby Biebs in the small town of Stratford, Ontario, about one hour from London, Ontario. Biebs grew up living with his mom in low-income housing and is very fond of his grandmother for helping him as a child. Nobody could predict that from such a humble beginning, a superstar would be born.
Justin’s father never married his mom and broke up with her during Justin’s childhood. He was not always around but maintained contact with his son. They still get along to this day. One thing that they shared was playing music together on the guitar. Justin loved to sing and play guitar with his father.
Justin’s dad was a self-taught guitar player. He taught Justin how to play rock classics on the guitar. Justin was exposed to the songs by rock musicians that his dad liked. These included Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, Metallica, Deep Purple, Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix, and Van Halen. His dad hates R&B music, which is hilarious because that musical style became a huge part of Justin’s later musical success.
The Four Wise Men
Wise man #1 was Scooter Braun, who, according to the New York Times, stumbled across Justin Bieber’s first YouTube video by accident in 2007, while he was looking for another artist’s videos. Braun was the marketing director of So So Def Recordings. He was the first to see superstardom for the 13-year-old boy’s future. Braun tracked Justin down and got permission from Justin’s mom to take him to Atlanta to record a demo.
Wiseman #2 was Usher. Braun got Usher to hear Justin sing. Bieber was given a recording contract with Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG). This company was a joint venture between Braun and Usher. Usher asked his agent, Chris Hicks, to help them find a major record label to support Justin’s career.
Wiseman #3 Hicks took them to his contact L.A. Reid of The Island Def Jam Music Group.
Wiseman #4 was L.A. Reid. Reid signed Bieber to the record label in 2008, as part of a joint venture between RBMG and Island Records. Hicks became an Executive Vice-President at the record label to manage Bieber’s career from the label side. Braun became Bieber’s personal manager.
Immediate Success Started Justin Bieber’s Net Worth
There was never a moment for the team to wonder about Bieber’s success. Bieber’s first single, One Time, was released to radio while he was still recording his first album. It reached number 12 on Canada’s Hot 100 during its first week of release and number 17 in the United States. The song eventually achieved a platinum level in digital download sales by selling over two million units in both countries.
Bieber’s extended play (EP), My World, released November 17, 2009, reached the platinum level in the United States and double-platinum in both Canada and the UK. His studio album My World 2.0 came next. It has the smash pop hit Baby, which featured Ludacris. In the years after its release, the Baby music video amassed more than two billion views on YouTube. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard Top 200 album chart. It was also number one in Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It made the top ten in 15 other countries.
Money From Non-Stop Touring And Huge Endorsement Deals
Bieber started touring in 2010 with the My World Tour. He would continue recording music, creating albums, doing television shows, making movies, signing lucrative endorsement deals (such as Calvin Klein and Proactiv), making advertisements, and touring nearly non-stop for the next nine years.
The My World tour sold about $53 million in tickets. His second world tour Believe sold about $70 million in tickets. Bieber’s 154-concert tour called Purpose in 2017, garnered an astounding $250 million in ticket sales.
He made a documentary film of his concert touring called Never Say Never that made $73 million at the box office. His manager Scooter Braun had been right; Bieber was a money-making machine with a popularity that was off the charts.
Justin Bieber’s net worth kept climbing because he made so much money so quickly, and he did not have enough time off to spend the money. Forbes listed him as the top ten highest-paid celebrities under the age of 30 for 2011 to 2014 and in 2016 and 2017. He even made about $80 million in 2014, which is the year that he also got into a lot of trouble, which I will explain after we talk about the women. There have been a lot of stunning women in Bieber’s life.
Bablilicious
The UK’s number one hit music station Capitol FM reports that Bieber dated some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Selena Gomez, Sofia Richie, Kendall Jenner, Ariana Grande, Yovanna Ventura, Shanina Shaik, Miranda Kerr, Barbara Palvin, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, Madison Beer, Jayde Pierce, and Adriana Lima.
Selena Gomez was his strongest and most lasting relationship, though it was on and off for eight years, starting in 2010. The serious part lasted three solid years (2010 to 2013), but they broke up because of Bieber’s antics. There was a chance in 2018 that they might get back together again, but it did not work out.
Throwing Eggs
By around 2013 to 2014, the cute, sweet, teenage Bieber turned into an arrogant young adult punk. He started having problems with the law. His first arrest happened in 2014 in Miami. He was arrested for drunk driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a license. He is smiling in his mug shot, and his glassy eyes make him look very high. His blood tested positive for THC from marijuana and the prescription drug Xanax. He got off with a lesser charge through a plea bargain.
One of Bieber’s neighbors living next to his home in Calabasas in the Los Angeles area accused him of throwing eggs at the house, causing thousands of dollars of damage. He got a misdemeanor charge that he pled no contest for and paid $80,900 in restitution for the damages. He moved to a new home in Beverly Hills after that trouble.
Assault And China Ban
The next few years, Bieber got into more trouble. He was arrested in Canada for dangerous driving and assault when he crashed into a minivan while driving an all-terrain vehicle. He also faced assault charges in Canada and Argentina for attacking paparazzi. The Chinese government banned him from performing in China because they thought he would negatively influence youth there.
Bieber joked on his Comedy Central celebrity roast show in 2015 that this is what happens when you give a teenager 200 million dollars.
Grown-Up Now
The grown-up Bieber calmed down, became a born-again Christian, and started acting more like a mature person. His wild side tamed quite a bit. He dated and then married Hailey Baldwin on September 20, 2019. She is the actor Stephen Baldwin’s daughter and the niece of Alex Baldwin.
Justin Bieber’s Net Worth From Real Estate
When he was 18 years old, in 2012, he bought a house in Calabasas for $6.5 million. After the throwing of the eggs incident, he sold it in 2014 for $7.2 million to Khloe Kardashian. In March 2019, he bought a mansion in Beverly Hills for $8.5 million.
In August 2020, he bought a new Beverly Hills home for $28.5 million. It is in the exclusive gated community of Beverly Park. It has 11,000 square feet and sits on two and one-half acres. It was a bargain at that price because two years earlier, it listed for $42 million.
He also owns a home in Ontario, Canada, and a lavish apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
