Justin Bieber EMPIRE & Money Management! Scooter Speaks!

At just 18 years old, Justin Bieber is worth a reported $105 million and is ranked No.3 on Forbes’ list of “The World’s Most Powerful Celebrities,” behind Lady Gaga and Oprah and just ahead of U2. Since Justin Bieber was still a minor when he started to earn the big money, his manager, Scooter Braun put in place a system of checks and balances for Justin.

Scooter explained to Business Insider after accepting an award at the Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards ceremony in New York City on Friday.

“We have a business manager, we have two portfolio managers, we have a lawyer, his mom, myself.”

“We set up a trust with a board of advisors and basically created an element where the amount of money he’s made at this point, he would have to be a complete idiot to go broke if he doesn’t invest wisely.”

After the financial bootcamp he is being put through,  unlike most child stars, it’s doubtful Justin will lose what he has earned as a minor.

“Justin is very involved. Once a week I make him spend an hour with his business manager or his lawyer because my whole thing is, the only way this is all going to fall apart is if people allow fear into his life. And through education there is no fear.”

“So I want him to be very educated. He’s a really smart kid, he’s very aware. He asks a lot of the right questions and we make sure he’s extremely well educated so he never has any doubt what’s going on.”

Justin Bieber Discovery Story Has Unexpected Twist

Justin Bieber was ultimately discovered by Scooter Braun who reportedly introduced him to Usher. Beliebers know how much Usher influenced Justin and helped him get started on the phenomenal career path he has embarked on, but there is a twist to the story.

The version of the discovery story that everyone has believed up to this point was revealed during a visit to the Ellen show. Usher claims he watched Justin on YouTube and teamed up with Scooter to get the young Bieber signed.

According to a friend of Usher’s ex-wife, Tameka Raymond, the discovery story is a glossy version of the real events. The friend writes a letter explaining what really went down and essentially credits Tameka for launching Justin’s career.

Apparently, Scooter and Usher were not on speaking terms when the “Baby” singer was first getting started. Usher did not want to take the time to listen to Justin because he was angry with Scooter. The persistent Scooter was not about to give up and went around the music mogul and talked with his wife, Tameka. According to the friend, Tameka is the one who “made” Usher watch the Justin Bieber YouTube videos.

The friend also claims it was Tameka who booked the tickets for Justin and his mom to fly to Atlanta to show off his singing skills. After hearing Justin, Tameka advised Usher he “better” sign this boy. And that is how it all really happened. Well, of course, that is what this unidentified person wants the world to believe.

In the letter, there are various negative comments about Usher’s character. Usher and Tameka are in a custody dispute and this friend feels it is somehow important to get the real story out there.
