Justin Bieber sold his songs for $200 million in 2023. 18 months later he owed $31.5 million to the company of Scooter Braun, the man who discovered him at 13, and TMZ reported the $200 million was already gone. He'd taken a $40 million advance for a tour he cancelled, and Scooter's company fronted $26 million to cover it.
His own business manager claimed Scooter had been overpaid $26 million in commissions. An outside audit by PwC said the opposite: Justin owed Scooter $8.8 million.
In the video below, Scooter Braun is asked where things stand with Justin Bieber now.
2022. Justin's Justice World Tour. Promoter AEG paid him $40 million up front. He pulled the plug early.
AEG wanted $26 million back. HYBE, the company Scooter ran, paid it. Justin agreed to pay HYBE back over 10 years.
He reportedly made 1 payment.
Weeks after the tour stopped, he sold his catalog of 291 songs to Hipgnosis for about $200 million.
Then the fight over who owed who. His business manager Lou Taylor said Scooter took $26 million too much. HYBE's internal audit said Justin owed Scooter $1 million. PwC spent 6 months on it and landed on $8.8 million.
In July 2025 they settled. Justin pays HYBE the full $26 million plus half of $11 million in back commissions. About $31.5 million.
TMZ's sources said there wasn't enough left from the $200 million after taxes, managers, lawyers and spending.
So the plan was to pay after his wife Hailey sold her beauty brand Rhode for $1 billion. Justin, an investor, was reported to get around $50 million.
Scooter doesn't see a cent of it. He'd already left HYBE.
15 years together. One audit to end it.
Did Scooter Braun take advantage of Justin Bieber, or did Justin spend $200 million and blame the man who made him?
God actively searches for us. A lost sheep cannot find its way back alone, and a lost coin cannot sweep the floor. God initiates the rescue. He meets us in our disorientation and weakness, carrying us back home.
