Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter with an estimated net worth of $200 million. Born on March 1, 1994 in Ontario, he is the son of Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette. His parents never married, and his father was not in the picture much when the young popstar was growing up. Her mother and stepfather helped Pattie raise her son in Canada, and times were often difficult for the little family. His father has two children from a later relationship, both small kids born in 2009 and 2010 – long after their brother was a famous popstar. As a child, he learned to play a number of instruments, which helped to foster his love of music.
He plays the piano, the guitar, drums, and the trumpet. Justin Bieber is a very talented young man. His mother posted videos of him to YouTube for many years singing, and he won many local competitions. It was in 2008 when Scooter Braun, So So Def Recording’s former marketing executive, found Justin Bieber’s mother’s videos on YouTube and tracked down the young singer. He was only 14 at the time. He met with him, and that is what happened to make him famous.
When he was signed after that to Braun and R&B star Usher’s musical label, his music took off. His first song was “One Time” and it was released in 2009. It made it all the way to number 12 on the Billboard charts, and his fame grew quickly. However, it was not until 2010 when he released the hit single “Baby” featuring hot rapper Ludacris that he went number one and became an international celebrity. Between his amazing voice and his cool hair, little girls all over the world were clamoring for more of the Biebs. He has since released four albums. He took a 3-year break between 2012 and 2015 to grow up a bit, but not before he made some serious mistakes and ended up in trouble with the law on several occasions.
In 2015, Justin Bieber apologized to the world for his behavior and was roasted. He decided to change his life and has since kept a relatively low profile save for the release of his newest album, which is topping charts all over the world. He is currently not romantically involved with anyone, but has been on-again, off-again with actress and singer Selena Gomez for many years. He is focusing now on his tour and his endorsements, and it is from these and his singing that he makes the most of his money.
He’s the face of Calvin Klein, he endorses Adidas, he works with PETA and he supports a charity called Pencils of Promise. He makes a nice income from all his public appearances, but it is his music that does it for him. At just 21, he is already one of the biggest musical stars in the world. If he can continue to stay on the correct path, he will see even greater fame and more wealth come his way.
