JUSTIN BIEBER, NET WORTH—$265 MILLION

Canadian singer and songwriter Justin Bieber is, to a huge degree, often included in lists like this because of his over-the-top lifestyle, which is often on full display over social media. The young man is one of the richest people in the American music industry who are under 30. And it’s been quite a ride for Bieber, considering he was discovered on YouTube at the age of 13 years old when her mother decided to upload videos of him singing on the social streaming platform.

Eventually, this enabled him to pick up motion on the platform. In the following years, Bieber caught Scooter Braun’s attention when he unintentionally clicked on Bieber’s video. After finding him and gaining his mother’s blessing, Bieber then started recording in Georgia. That was a relatively long time ago, but his rise to the top was nothing short of remarkable. Based on his music, touring, investments, endorsements, and the documentaries he’s been involved with, Bieber is undoubtedly a money-making machine.
