Justin Bieber

I’m somewhat a FOREVER Justin Bieber aficionado. I especially love his first-ever song that topped the music charts, which is “One Time”. The instrumental version of “One Time” is my favorite work music.

I find it motivational while I’m completing an article I need to write and finish within the workday. I laud Justin Bieber and the “One Time” songwriters for their breakthrough I find certainly beneficial for my ever-fantastic life. Hahaha.

Here are two YouTube videos of the instrumental edition of Justin Bieber’s catchy and perky “One Time” tune which is forever my favorite, both instrumental and with vocals. The second clip is bass-boosted:

Anyway, I want to write about Justin Bieber’s wealth and a money-related quote by himself which I find quotable and funny. According to the 2022 figures posted on WealthyGorilla.com, the “Despacito” singer’s net worth is US$285 million.

His money-related quotable quote that made me chuckle out loud and I find worthy to share here so I will forever remember it is:

Hahaha.

Multi-millionaire Justin Bieber surely expressed the tremendous perks of being flushed with cash, that is, he has the purchasing power to avail of whatever money can buy.

I find similarities with him and Sir Elton John, who had to answer something in court for his hundreds of thousands in British pounds of frivolous spending on flowers. Here is my Instagram post about that interesting incident involving another rich-and-famous music superstar:

I want to share that 2019 MarketWatch article that featured Justin Bieber’s quotable quote I find funny:

Justin Bieber reflecting on being young and rich: You’d buy a monkey, too
By Shawn Langlois, Published: Feb. 7, 2019 at 2:33 p.m. ET

Justin Bieber, who turns 25 next month, opened up to Vogue in an interview published Thursday about how the excesses of fame and fortune in his teen years led to the questionable behavior that dominated tabloid headlines everywhere.

At one point, he offered up this little nugget: ‘It’s like, if you had the money that I had, why wouldn’t you get a monkey? You would get a monkey!’

Yeah… maybe. That monkey, by the way, was seized at customs in Germany. But that’s just one quirky, and mostly harmless, example of how that kind of money can impact a young kid’s decision-making. There were several other missteps that were a bit more troubling.

For instance, Bieber, with an estimated net worth of $265 million, was charged with a DUI back in 2014 after drag-racing his Lambo in Miami Beach, and he also got caught on video running into a photographer with his Ferrari.

“I’ve made some bad decisions personally, and in relationships,” he told Vogue. “Those mistakes have affected my confidence in my judgment.” Back in 2014, he was reportedly spending $1 million a month, with a source saying his investment advisers were running out of money to invest.

Vogue’s glimpse into Bieber’s life followed shortly after another celebrity stirred up a buzz with some financial struggles of her own.

Cardi B, with a net worth pegged to be approaching $10 million, revealed she spends between $250,000 and $300,000 a month. Considering her tax rate, she says, she has to pull in more than $500,000 just to cover her overhead. “I try to put it cheaper,” but she can’t, she says.

As for Bieber, he seems to be getting his act together. He recently married Hailey Baldwin and bought a $5-million home outside of Toronto, though he’s not quite ready to fully embrace adulthood just yet. “I think we can be married and still have fun and enjoy our adolescence,” he told Vogue. “That’s something we’re talking about.”
