Justin Bieber earns a minimum of $300,000 per concert, placing him near the top of the tour earnings list, contract records show.

History of Beiber: Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who happened to come across Bieber’s videos on YouTube and later became his manager. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher.
