Pop sensation Justin Bieber is estimated to have banked at least $100m at the age of just 17. In the latest in our series on celebrity money, we look at how he rapidly made his millions.
Justin Bieber is not only causing the world's female teenage population to swoon at the sight of his floppy hair and the sound of his girlish singing voice but he also gets the money men's pulses racing too.
The 17-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter, is currently on a gruelling worldwide 140-date tour from Manchester to Melbourne.
He was talent spotted on YouTube just three years ago, and now earns an estimated $300,000 (£183,000) a concert in addition to rivers of cash from record sales, merchandising, personal appearances and celebrity endorsements.
Estimates suggest he has already banked at least $100m (£61m) and counting.
Bieber's massive appeal - in March he was the second most popular celebrity on the Twitter website (behind Lady Gaga) with just over 8.3m followers - means he commands huge sums for the most fleeting of appearances in advertisements.
On stage: He earns an estimated $300k per concert
He was paid a staggering $1m (£610,000) for donning a space suit and uttering a few words in a 30 second ad for technology retail giant Best Buy transmitted during the US Super Bowl earlier this year - one of the most sought-after spots for advertisers - and his baby-face looks mean led him to win a $3m (£1.2m) two-year deal to endorse the US acne treatment ProActiv.
