The world is ending. Some may point to the Michael Brown verdict, others may cite global warming or the geopolitical clusterfuck the world is currently locked into a death spiral with. As for us, we’re looking to Forbes’ list of the Highest-Earning Celebrities Under 30 for the signs of the apocalypse – and it’s bad news for everyone.
The top-earning kid on the circuit? Mr. Crybaby Thug himself, Justin Bieber. He’s followed by One Direction ($75 million), Taylor Swift ($64 million), Bruno Mars ($60 million) and Rihanna ($48 million) to round out the top 5.
It’s been almost a year since Bieber’s last album Journals was released, and touring behind the album be collected $69.9 million from 67 shows. Sure, the bratty dipshit wannabe ghetto-boy has had a bumpy road this year, with over $80k paid to a neighbor for egging their house (ball so hard), an embarrassing racist song leak, a charge for smuggling monkeys, another charge for abandoning his pet monkey, and a DUI charge. But that’s nothing money can’t fix, and baby Biebs has plenty of that.
