JUSTIN BIEBER – EST. $300 MILLION

Justin Bieber is one of the youngest yet richest people on our list. From busking and uploading cover songs on YouTube, he became a phenomenon, with millions of fans worldwide. From sold-out tours to 12x platinum records, he has certainly earned his net worth. Since his first discovery on YouTube, he has sold more than 150 million records worldwide. In June 2011, he ranked second in Forbes’ Best-Paid Celebrities under 30 list, earning $53 million in 12 months.

Since he gained popularity, however, the singer has had a number of controversies and run-ins with the law—including his first arrest back in 2014. Fortunately, the degree of his recklessness has since toned down, and with his marriage to Hailey Baldwin, we hope he continues on a more sober path. Otherwise, he could easily lose what he has worked hard for.
