JUSTIN BIEBER—$285 MILLION
Singer, the songwriter, and occasional actor, Justin Bieber, who rose to prominence after posting a series of singing videos on YouTube, which led to his discovery and stardom, is estimated to have a net worth of $285 million. He’s now a record-making, world-touring behemoth who rakes in millions of dollars per year. Not only that, but Bieber has also made attempts to diversify his investment portfolio by investing in various other businesses, including a hotel slipper collection.
Bieber isn’t going anywhere, given how young he still is, and given how he often tops the list of highest-earning celebrities under 30 years old. Despite his extraordinary success in music, like many young celebrities, he also has scandals in the press. In 2014, he was arrested for drunk driving, racing, and resisting arrest; during his arrest, he also showed some unstable behavior, and his reputation declined for a time due to his actions.
