This article is all wrong….
Justin Bieber is a 17-year-old bazillionaire who probably hasn’t learned to save his loads of hard-earned cash yet. So we guess we shouldn’t be too surprised at some of his frivolous purchases. But $19,000 for a single trip on a private jet? We’re just glad he hasn’t bought the $22 million Cessna Citation X jet yet.
Thanks to Bieber’s photo-sharing Instagram account, fans everywhere can see what Bieber’s up to by the pictures he posts…as well as how much the pop star is spending on a daily basis. In addition to the $19K a pop private jet trip, Bieber has spent a few gazillian pretty pennies on other luxuries too.
Those items include a Ferrari F430 ($200,000), a Lamborghini Gallardo ($200,000), a chartered yacht for two ($300,000) and a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich ($2.75.) OK, so that last thing isn’t exactly a frivolous purchase, but it is delicious.
Anyway, here’s a photo (above) that Justin’s music video director (and good friend) Alfredo Flores tweeted while aboard the flashy jet with the following caption:
“BOOM BOOM POW! @JustinBieber @SelenaGomez…See the creeper?”
That creeper is Justin’s bodyguard in the background by the way. And the dude sticking his tongue out is Mr. Alfredo Flores himself, just in case you’re wondering.
But, back to the point. Do you think Justin Bieber’s private jet purchases are too much — or does he have a right to spend spend spend?
The article above is based on Yahoo’s original article here. This is how they break down JB’s spending. (In brackets are my own comments.)
- XOJet Chartering: $12,000 – $19,000 per trip (It’s not like he was riding the chartered jet by himself. Justin’s management has to pay for the cost of flying people who work for JB. If you spend $15,000 and you can fly 15 people then it only costs $1000 each. Whoopty doo. It’s more convenient. And many times there are security issues at the airport as we’ve seen in Australia and New Zealand.)
- Box seats at a Falcons game: $1,839 per seat, $288,000 for whole suite (It wasn’t box seats where they were sitting. Proof here. Look at the last picture. Those aren’t box seats. Plus they came as Usher’s guest meaning Justin most likely paid nothing. Next!)
- Casio G-Shock black diamond watch: approx. $2,000 (ok I give them this but $2,000 is not even close to what real expensive watches cost.)
- Swimming with beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium: $224.95 (I would paid $225 to do this. I’m hella poor!)
- Chartering a yacht for two: approx. $300,000 (I can’t remember them chartering in a yacht. Did they mean Russell Simmon’s yacht? The yacht they were on in Hawaii last year doesn’t look like it would cost $300,000 to rent.)
- Ferrari F430 – approx. $200,000 (not his)
- Lamborghini Gallardo: approx. $200,000 (not his)
Justin doesn’t actually spend that much money. Not for someone who makes as much as he does. He’s still grounded and coming from a poor background. He understands the value of money. Hate it how these “well respected” sites write exaggerated things to make Justin look like some kind of horrible person.

SElena Gomez looks like a hooker in this pic! Wait, she always does. Tehe.
i like selena’s outfit buuuut, her hair and make up seem weird, and that duck face is too old
i think she looks really good!
Life is short. Let him spend the money anyway he wants. He is the king of the WORLD.
no, he shouldn’t because he might wanna give his money too jaxson and jazzy when he dies
What if Jaxon, and Jazzy die be4 him? Huh, then what will he do?
he’s entitled to spend his own money i guess.. but i do think he needs to slow down because it’s coming off as a little arrogant.
The question should where is mom bieber while Justin keeps glob trotting across the us? Did mom bieber use to allowance him?
Selena is now his mom bieber, lol
DONT EVEN LIE U WOULD DO THE SAME THING BUT SOME OF THOES THINGS R UNNESSASARY WE LOVE U BEIBSY BUT SAVE SOME 4 A RAINY DAY 🙂 AND SELENA MAT BE 19 AND YES HER BOOTS R SLAMIN BUT SHE HARDLY WEARS CLOTHES AT ALL AT CONCERTS MY MOM IS PROTECTIVE AND WHEN SHE SAW THE THINGS SHE WEARS WHEN SHE PROFORMS SHE GOT UPSET BECAUSE SHE DOESNT USUALLY DRESS LIKE THAT BUT SHE IS GROWN BOTTOM LINE IS WEAR CLOTHES WHEN UR NOT SINGING INFRONT OF A HOLE BUNCH OF 10YEAR OLDS K
The thing is: Who says (haha! :D) it’s his Ferrari? Who says he’s paying for the trips? Just cuz you take a pic in an expensive car, doesn’t mean you bought it.
Bottom line: I am guessing the label/promoter/etc. is paying for the trips, so that he doesn’t have to fly commercial (which he does, probably when he’s paying).
Plus: A 17-year-old earning something near the $50mn mark is naturally gonna spend more than any other 17-year-old making $100 a month (or more/less). Just because he can.
So someone’s exaggerating. Plus: Look at the ’90 Teen stars. They made as much. They spend as much. And they’re still pretty loaded (Britney/Justin/Christina, Britney made $50mn in ’02 and $65mn in ’10) And judging by how much Fans love Britney and how much they love Justin, I guess Justin’s career is just gonna be as pretty much as long. (Though he’s never gonna sell 100 Million Albums, just because times have changed :), oh I’m Team Britney)
This is just exaggeration!!! JB, is spending too much money??? No!
Folks, he’s worth about a hundred million dollars (currently), He could buy a new Ferrari every day for a year and still have twenty-seven million dollars left over.
And that’s assuming he never made another cent in his life.
hey
jb should be able to do wat he wants without most of the hatefull coments if he wanted to spend 30000000000 dollars on a car he should be able to rmft
