Justin Bieber mulls lawsuit against former managers for allegedly mismanaging his $300M fortune
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber is reportedly contemplating legal action against his former business managers for mismanaging his finances.
The "Peaches" singer has been furious for several years, convinced that he has lost a significant amount of money due to the decisions made by his ex managers, sources informed TMZ on Wednesday, October 23.
Justin Bieber's team divided on lawsuit over alleged mismanagement
Although the exact amount of money Bieber, 30, suspects has been mismanaged is not clear, insiders have reported that he is considering legal action against those responsible.
However, the pop star's current team is reportedly split on the issue of a potential lawsuit. Those opposed to legal action argue that Bieber has been spending irresponsibly for some time, leading to his own financial issues, as reported by TMZ.
The singer known for "Never Say Never," with an estimated net worth of $300 million, significantly increased his fortune in January 2023 by selling his music catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for $200 million, Page Six reports.
The agreement encompassed shares of Bieber's publishing and recorded music catalog, stakes in his publishing copyrights, master recordings, and neighboring rights across his complete back catalog.
Hipgnosis acquires song catalogs from artists and generates revenue through online streaming, as well as the use of these songs in movies and advertisements.

Earlier this year, Bieber ended his association with business manager Lou Taylor and appointed Edward White, who is also associated with Johnny Depp, as her replacement. The managers involved were not identified in the TMZ report.
