Justin Bieber net worth: The pop superstar's wealth at 31
No matter how hard he tries, Justin Bieber just can't seem to stay out of the spotlight. A superstar by age 15, the Canadian pop singer-songwriter has continually generated headlines-not only for his music, but also for his behavior outside of the recording studio. Thanks to YouTube, at a time when his peers were still in high school, Justin Bieber had already received a recording contract, released his smash hit, "Baby," and minted millions of dollars. Although his musical abilities matured, Bieber's teenage years were plagued by scandal, including a DUI arrest, charges of vandalism, and struggles with substance abuse. Bieber even took a few years off from recording in order to focus on his mental health. In 2021, Bieber sold his recording catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Fund for over $200 million. In total, he has released seven studio albums and sold more than 150 million records, making him one of pop music's all-time biggest stars. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In addition to music, Bieber has signed business deals for a variety of product ventures, endorsements, and investments. He has also promoted Rhode, the billion-dollar beauty brand created by his wife, Hailey Bieber, to his 596 million social media followers. So, how much money does Justin Bieber have now? In a surprise move on July 11, 2025, Bieber released his seventh studio album, "Swag," which was his first release in four years. The album's 21 tracks explore themes of love, fame, and family with a more soulful sound than previous pop efforts. "Swag" was streamed 198 million times in its first week alone and received glowing reviews from critics, transforming many naysayers into first-time Beliebers, the name given to his devoted last time Forbes profiled the "Sorry" singer was in 2017, estimating his net worth at $83.5 million, which landed him a spot on the publication's Celebrity 100 List. But that was before Bieber sold his catalog to Hipgnosis, a Blackstone-backed investment group, for over $200 million. According to Variety, the deal encompassed his publishing rights and master recordings of his 290 songs. While some called the 2021 sale a wise decision, since Bieber offloaded his catalog at the peak of his career, other tabloid sources, such as TMZ, reported that his actions stemmed from his "financial collapse." Related: Selena Gomez's net worth: From Disney star to billionaire The news agency released a Hulu documentary entitledTMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber?, which claimed that Bieber had earned as much as $1 billion but "blew it all" on mansions, private jets, and gourmet meals. In addition, it alleged that the 2022 cancellation of most of Bieber's "Justice" tour, following the pop star's diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes temporary facial paralysis, placed him even deeper into debt. Bieber's representatives denied these claims, stating the tabloid was merely "trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality," as reported by The Mirror. However, online estimator Celebrity Net Worth now estimates Bieber's fortune at $200 million in 2025-the exact amount of his catalog sale. Justin Drew Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, about 120 miles outside of Toronto, Canada. His parents never married; his father, Jeremy Bieber and mother, Pattie Mallette, were both 18 at the time of their son's birth and ended their relationship after only a few months. Jeremy went on to marry internet personality Chelsey Rebelo, and they had two children together, Bay and Allie, as well as two children from previous relationships, Jazmyn and Jaxon. Bieber was raised primarily by his mother, who worked a number of low-paying office jobs to pay the bills. Nevertheless, Mallette noticed her son's staggering talent, and in fact, Bieber has his mom to thank for making him famous: In 2007, she created a YouTube page for his R&B covers just for friends and family to see. However, his videos quickly generated millions of views-as well as the attention of famed manager Scooter Braun. Related: Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne's net worth as metal's greatest frontman passes on After contacting Mallette, Braun flew Bieber to Atlanta, where he met R&B star Usher and began recording demos. Bieber signed a record deal with Braun and Usher's joint partnership, Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), and later, another deal with Island Records. Bieber and his mom moved to Atlanta, and there was just no turning back. Bieber's debut album was actually released as two discs. The EP "My World" served as Bieber's global introduction. It came out in 2009; seven of its songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100. "My World 2.0" (2010) "My World 2.0," Bieber's first full-length studio album, expanded on the sounds of "My World," in a seamless blend of pop and R&B. The album contained his smash hit "Baby" and debuted at #1 on Billboard, selling 283,000 copies in its first week, making Bieber the youngest artist to top the charts since Stevie Wonder in 1963. The documentary Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, which followed the rising superstar as he prepared for the Madison Square Garden performance on his "My World Tour," generated $99 million at the box office. "Under the Mistletoe" (2011) Bieber's next effort was actually a Christmas album; it featured Bieber and Mariah Carey singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You (SuperFestive!)," as well as traditional covers. It was the first holiday album from a male singer to reach #1 on Billboard in its first week. Related: The highest-paid artists on Spotify (& how much they've made) "Believe" (2012) Bieber's third studio album, which had more of a dance and house music feel, contained three hit singles: "Boyfriend," "As Long as You Love Me," and "Beauty and a Beat." Its success made Bieber the first performer to have five #1 hit albums before the age of 18. "Purpose" (2015) Bieber's next catchy effort featured appearances from Big Sean, Travis Scott, and Ariana Grande, as well as three of his all-time biggest hits: "Love Yourself," "Company," and "Sorry." In part a response to his controversial behaviors, which ranged from egging a neighbor's Los Angeles mansion (and paying more than $80,000 in damages) to his 2014 charges of driving under the influence and resisting arrest, the album also served as a declaration of his transformation as well as an affirmation of his Christian faith. That year, Bieber was baptized at the contemporary Hillsong Church-where Hailey Baldwin, his future wife, was also a parishioner, although the couple would later shift their affiliation to another Christian community, Churchome. "Changes" (2020) After a hiatus from music to get married and focus on his mental health, Bieber released "Changes," which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 charts. Largely centered around his unconditional love for his new wife, the album contained hits like "Yummy" and "Intentions" and featured more of an electronic, dance-pop vibe. Justin Bieber: Changes, a 10-part docu-series about the Bieb's musical process, garnered 227 million views in its first 90 days alone. "Justice" (2021) Bieber's next album had a dreamy pop and R&B sound and contained hits like "Peaches," "Holy" (with Chance the Rapper), "Anyone," and "Ghost." Interestingly, Benny Blanco, the fiancé of Bieber's ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, also appeared on the album and produced the Finneas-featured track "Lonely." Bieber and Blanco were close friends and often praised each other, although online imitators liked to stir up perceived grievances over their pair's connection to Gomez. Speaking of Gomez, the actress, singer, and billionaire businesswoman is said to have inspired several of Bieber's hits, specifically ones that detail mixed signals in a relationship or ask for forgiveness: "Sorry""What Do You Mean?""Mark My Words""As Long As You Love Me""I Would""Boyfriend" In July 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count. Diddy's trial detailed explicit celebrity sex parties, called "freak offs," that the rapper had hosted between 2009 and 2024. During that period of time, Diddy had also befriended Bieber, even calling him his "little brother," and Beliebers worried that Bieber may have been among Diddy's victims. However, Bieber's publicists addressed the issue by releasing a statement to People saying, "Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him," and encouraged more attention to be paid to the rapper's victims so that justice could be served.

The song went viral on TikTok, X, and YouTube, but experts believe it was merely AI-generated. Several tracks off Bieber's newest album, "Swag," are about his wife, Hailey. "Go Baby" details his pride in her accomplishments, while "Walking Away" is an ode to never letting their relationship fall apart. In addition, in a 2020 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bieber confirmed that "Yummy," from his fifth studio album, "Changes," was about the couple's sex life. Since Bieber's very beginnings, the pop icon has expanded his brand beyond music through a variety of clothing lines, endorsement deals, and even investments. Bieber's streetwear line, Drew House, was founded in 2019 with his stylist, Ryan Good. This high-end line of pastel streetwear emblazoned with smiley face logos has appeared on everyone from Tyler, the Creator to Timothée Chalamet. However, in April 2025, Bieber announced on Instagram Stories that he was leaving the pop legend has also been the face of big-name brands like Adidas, Calvin Klein, Crocs, Proactiv, Nicole by OPI, and of Bieber's seven fragrance lines, including "Someday," "Girlfriend," and "Collector's Edition," are said to rival those of Britney Spears and Jennifer has also invested in emerging technology startups like Generosity, which focuses on clean water solutions, Shots of Me, a photo-sharing App, and even cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH) and ApeCoin (APE). In early 2009, Bieber admitted to radio DJ Skee that he had a crush on Selena Gomez. His manager, Scooter Braun, reached out to Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, who was also the Disney Channel star's manager, and they set up an introduction. Although Gomez was dating Nick Jonas at the time, Bieber and Gomez became friends. They were believed to have started dating in 2010, shortly after Gomez and Jonas called things off. Gomez and Bieber had an on-and-off relationship that lasted through early 2018. Bieber showcased his love with over-the-top gestures like renting out the entire Staples Center so that the two could have a candlelit dinner and watch Titanic; however, on one of their breaks, Bieber began seeing Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber). Bieber had actually first connected with Baldwin way back in 2009, after his performance on The Today Show. Baldwin and her Dad, Stephen, shook hands with Bieber in the 30 Rock lobby. Their first interaction was even captured on video, although it wasn't love at first sight. They did remain good friends, though, and were spotted together again in 2014, although both denied rumors that they were dating. After Gomez and Bieber broke up for good in 2018, Bieber rekindled his romance with Baldwin at a church conference in Miami; just two months later, the couple became engaged. Bieber proposed with an oval-cut diamond from Solow & Co., rumored to be between 6 and 10 carats in size, although Baldwin later upgraded to an even bigger diamond (by one carat) from Lorraine Schwartz. Both rings have inspired Millennial wedding ring trends, even though Baldwin is actually a member of Generation Z. On September 13, 2018, Bieber and Baldwin were married in a New York City courthouse. The next month, they held a second ceremony in South Carolina, and invited family and friends, including Kendall Jenner, Jaden Smith, and Usher. View the original article to see embedded media. In August 2024, Justin and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child together, a son they named Jack Blues Bieber. Although they post about him regularly on their social media accounts, the couple has never fully revealed Jack's face in photos. By 2015, a global tearsheet of immature and offensive behavior kept Bieber in the headlines. He was arrested for driving recklessly under the influence in Miami, punched a DJ in South Korea, and peed into a mop bucket while cursing out Bill Clinton in New York City. Bieber left his pet monkey behind in Munich, and in Amsterdam, at the Anne Frank House, the home of a teenager forced to hide from the Nazis before perishing at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Bieber penned a completely self-focused message in the guestbook, saying, "Anne would have been a Belieber." Bieber admitted that he dealt with the pressures of fame by abusing alcohol, marijuana, pills, MDMA, and psychedelic mushrooms. He posted a Facebook video to apologize for his "arrogant and conceited" behavior and also expressed remorse for his actions on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While he never officially went to rehab, Bieber sought treatment through therapy and gave credit to God and his marriage to Hailey Bieber for helping him get sober. However, in 2025, videos again surfaced of Bieber allegedly smoking marijuana alongside his brother, Jaxon, at Coachella, and he caught additional criticism for posting erratic messages on his social media accounts. After Hailey's first solo Vogue cover, Bieber posted an Instagram story, revealing he had once told his wife during a fight that he believed she would never achieve that milestone. Many considered these remarks to be backhanded and belittling, intensifying rumors of their impending divorce. However, as of July 2025, the couple remains together, and in Hailey's Vogue cover story, she told the magazine that the rumors about their perennially imploding marriage were simply not true. She said, "My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them." Bieber has had an eclectic property list: He's owned party pads in Los Angeles, rented a spaceship-shaped home in Atlanta, and crashed at a 15-bedroom mansion in London, shelling out $133,000 per month to stay there, to name a few. Older-and ostensibly wiser-now, Bieber and his wife put down roots in Los Angeles by purchasing an 11,145-square-foot abode in the gated Beverly Park community for $25.8 million in 2020. The home remains their primary residence. The couple also owns a $16.6 million vacation home near Palm Springs in La Quinta, California and a $5 million lakefront estate in Ontario, Canada.

Media trailblazer Tom Rogers changes ‘raging bull' stance on Netflix, sees worrisome signs
Former NBC Cable President Tom Rogers is dialing back his bullishness on Netflix. The media trailblazer, who was a self-proclaimed "raging bull" on Netflix, told CNBC's "Fast Money" this week he's starting to worry — and listed competition with free content on YouTube as a headwind. "[Netflix] still [has] more hit shows than all the other streaming services combined, but when you look at the growth of their sub[scriber] base and look at the amount of total engagement time from all viewers they get, the amount of viewing per viewer has gone down some," said Rogers, who's now executive chairman of AI company Claigrid. Netflix saw the largest monthly viewership increase versus its peers in June, according to Nielsen. However, YouTube had 13% of total monthly TV viewership while Netflix had 8%. Rogers' latest take comes after Netflix delivered a positive quarterly report on July 17. "There was nothing wrong with its earnings at all," said Rogers, who is also a CNBC contributor. "But engagement is what drives everything here. The amount of viewing it gets, it drives price increases, which drive programming budget, which drives more great programming." Netflix beat second quarter top and bottom line estimates and raised its full-year guidance. But since its earnings report, the streamer's stock is down about 6% and is now off almost 11% since hitting a record high on June 30. Rogers also predicts artificial intelligence will be a "double-edged sword" for Netflix in the near-term. On the one hand, he said it will aid the streamer's targeted advertising and help cut programming costs. But it also allows independent content creators a leg up — which benefits YouTube. "The line between professional and amateur content is going to get more and more blurry as AI tools in the hands of amateurs allow them to produce things that look incredibly professional," he said. "I think AI in the hands of the creative community of YouTube could create a level of professional programming for YouTube which drives its viewership even further." YouTube's parent company, Alphabet, is up 2% so far this year. Yet, Rogers still considers Netflix maintaining his status as the most valuable media company in the world. However, he said a lag is "something to watch for sure." Netflix spokesperson Emily Goldstein deferred comment to the company's second-quarter earnings call.

CBS canceling Colbert begs the question: Are more late night shows next?
There are two schools of thought around CBS' decision to end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The first says the cancellation is a one-off exit from the storied time slot — that Paramount was trying to push through the red tape to finally merge with Skydance Media, a deal that was approved by the Federal Communications Commission Thursday after more than a year in limbo. The other says it signals the beginning of the end of late night TV. The entertainment industry will have a better sense of where the truth lies next year when Disney decides the fate of Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live." While NBC recently extended the contracts of its two late night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, into 2028, Kimmel's contract is set to lapse in 2026. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" has been a late night staple since 2003, acting not only as a typical talk show on the circuit, but as a valuable marketing hub for Disney's slate of theatrical and television content. In addition to traditional one-on-one interviews, Kimmel will also frequently host several stars from the same project, often for blockbuster titles from Marvel, Star Wars and the company's animated franchises. Clips from these chats are fed onto Kimmel's YouTube channel, which has more than 20 million subscribers, and across social media, helping to generate buzz for upcoming Disney projects. For comparison, Fallon's show account has around 32 million subscribers, while Colbert's stands at 10 million and Meyers' at just over 5 million. Kimmel is also a frequent host of the Academy Awards, which airs on Disney's ABC, and is currently the host of ABC's celebrity edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." These ancillary assignments, as well as his annual job closing out Disney's Upfronts presentation for advertisers, may make Kimmel more important to Disney's long-term future than Colbert was for Paramount or CBS. Still, while the next test of media's commitment to late night is months off, the end of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is calling attention to the mounting pressures on traditional TV and raising questions about the whether the time slot can survive the evolving viewing landscape. The cost of producing late night programs has risen as the media industry has been upended by streaming and shifting consumer habits. The traditional pay TV bundle has lost millions of customers in recent years, and as they've disappeared, so too have advertising dollars. The shifting equation has forced media companies to rebalance. At a large scale, companies like Comcast's NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery have opted to split off their cable TV networks into separate corporate entities. At the programming level, big shows are increasingly greenlit for release on streaming services rather than traditional networks. Salaries of highly paid news anchors have moderated, with some stepping away from traditional networks entirely and starting out their own ventures. And much of the money spent on bulking up both linear TV networks and streaming services is earmarked for live sports. That leaves familiar titles in flux. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" employed around 200 people and recorded annual losses of around $40 million, according to a person familiar with the matter, who declined to be named speaking about nonpublic matters. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" employs around 250 people and loses roughly the same amount, according to a person familiar with that show's finances. While the pay-TV bundle still rakes in the highest share of profits for legacy media companies – much of which stems from the fees that pay-TV distributors hand over to the networks to be included in the bundle – that figure is in decline. Linear TV advertising revenue has also been on a steady downward slope. Industry analysts and experts expected the ad market to stabilize in 2025 after tumultuous streaming-centric years, but macroeconomic uncertainty has hampered the recovery. In quarterly earnings that were reported in May, Paramount, NBCUniversal and Disney each reported lower ad sales on a year-over-year basis. Paramount reported in May that its first-quarter TV advertising revenue was down 21% to $2.04 billion, mainly due to comparisons to the prior-year period when the company had the Super Bowl. That championship beckons the most ad dollars of any live event on TV. Without the Super Bowl, ad revenue would have been flat, the company said. Overall revenue for Paramount's TV segment was down 13%. Of the traditional TV ad spend that does remain, the biggest share has gravitated to live sports, which draw the biggest audiences. NBCUniversal recently touted its record ad sales volume during the most recent Upfront cycle due to an upcoming slate of NBA, the Super Bowl, Winter Olympics and other sports. Disney reported in May that quarterly revenue for its domestic linear networks was down 3% to $2.2 billion, attributing the decline to lower ad revenue. Still, Disney noted ad revenue for ESPN and sports in general saw an increase in ad revenue. These headwinds help legitimize Paramount's decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," but the timing of the program's end has raised suspicions. The announcement that Colbert's show would take its final bow in May 2026 came just days after the tenured host publicly called out Paramount for its $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump over the editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Colbert called the settlement a "big fat bribe" during one of his show-opening monologues, referencing the then-pending merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, which required the approval of the Trump administration to proceed. Paramount and CBS executives released a statement last week saying the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against the challenging backdrop in late night." "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the company continued. While ratings for Colbert's show have declined over the last decade, the program has consistently achieved the highest views of any show in the 11:35 p.m. hour, outdrawing ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," according to Nielsen. Still, Colbert's ratings have been declining each season. For the most recent September-to-May time period, Colbert averaged roughly 1.9 million viewers, with the majority of viewership coming in the age demographic of over 65, according to Nielsen — a telling data point about the state of TV viewership. Kimmel's viewership paints a similar picture, with viewership dropping from the September-to-May time period in 2019-2020 to the most recent in 2024-2025, when the average was nearly 1.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen. When Paramount listed its slate of highly rated TV shows during its last earnings report, including "Tracker," the top rated series and "Matlock," the highest rated new series, it also listed Colbert's "The Late Show" as the highest rated broadcast late night show. "The Daily Show," also from Paramount, was the top late night show on cable TV. Some industry experts have questioned whether CBS could have explored other ways to save money — or save late night — besides outright canceling "The Late Show." NBC cut costs by eliminating the band on Meyers' late night show and shifting Fallon to four nights a week instead of five. CBS tried to bring a younger demographic into the hour with "After Midnight," a late night show that ran after Colbert. The show was hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson and was centered on viral internet phenomena. Though CBS intended to renew the show after its first two seasons, Tomlinson decided not to extend her contract, and the show was canceled.
