Justin Bieber is reportedly embroiled in a financial dispute with his former manager, Scooter Braun, stemming from the cancellation of the 'Justice' tour in 2022. A six-month audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), completed in April 2025, indicates that Bieber owes Braun over $8.8 million.
This sum is attributed to a loan Braun provided to help Bieber cover financial losses incurred from the tour's cancellation. Despite Bieber's estimated $300 million net worth and the sale of his music catalog for $200 million in 2022, reports suggest financial strains.
Last year, Justin considered suing his financial managers for allegedly mismanaging $300 million of his fortune. However, an insider exclusively revealed at the time that the singer's own "out-of-control" spending was to blame for his financial problems. "He spends astronomical sums monthly. At one point, he couldn't even get a credit card," the source claimed. "Justin is surrounded by a lot of people who don't have his best interests at heart."
In January 2025, Bieber ended his long-standing professional relationship with Braun, unfollowing him on Instagram. This action marked the end of a 15-year partnership that began in 2008 when Braun discovered the then-13-year-old Bieber.
Braun, who announced his return to music management in June 2024, remains active as the CEO of HYBE America. Meanwhile, Bieber is reportedly planning a return to the music scene in 2025.
Reports suggest he is working on new projects and potentially planning a tour. Simultaneously, Bieber's wife, Hailey Bieber, sold her cosmetics brand, Rhode, to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion in May 2025.
She will continue to serve as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation for Rhode. These developments raise questions about Justin Bieber's financial situation and could impact his future musical endeavors.
