In a stunning turn of events, pop megastar Justin Bieber, once estimated to have raked in between $500 million and $1 billion during his meteoric rise to global fame, found himself teetering on the edge of financial collapse — so much so that he was forced to sell his entire music catalog for $200 million just to stay afloat.

Sources close to the singer have revealed that by late 2022, Bieber’s financial situation had become dire. Despite having once dominated the charts and international stages, his fortune had evaporated. According to insiders, Justin’s decision to sell his catalog wasn’t just a strategic business move — it was an act of financial survival.

“He was on the verge of total collapse,” one source confessed. “He had no choice.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Bieber’s longtime manager Scooter Braun reportedly urged him not to sell — or at least to wait until January 2023, when a more favorable tax situation could have saved millions. But Justin refused to wait, rushing to close the deal in December 2022, despite Braun’s advice. Many believe his desperation overrode better judgment.

While other music legends like Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen have sold their catalogs later in life, Justin became the youngest major artist ever to cash out — and unlike the others, it wasn’t a calculated retirement plan. It was a financial emergency.

This shocking revelation is just one piece of the puzzle in our in-depth Bieber documentary, which dives deep into the troubled waters of Justin’s mental health, marriage, faith, financial woes, and the rollercoaster of fame that’s defined his career.

From chart-topping icon to cash-strapped artist, the fall of Justin Bieber serves as a sobering reminder: even the brightest stars can burn out if they’re not careful with the fortune fame brings.
