$116,423.97 < —— This is how much Justin made from selling “Boyfriend” on iTunes in just 1 week.
That’s just from downloads on the internet. The CD single is also sold in stores which is not even counted in these numbers. Plus Justin also makes money every time Boyfriend is played on radio and on TV stations around the world which is not even counted yet. So JB makes more money than you can imagine! And that’s just for 1 week! And that’s just from 1 song!!
In case you’re all wondering, Justin is reported to have over $105 million dollars by now. And he just used $6 million of that to buy this house a couple of weeks ago.
