Justin Bieber >>>>>

[Trajan]

The singer has been quietly plowing millions into private tech startups. According to his manager, Bieber holds stakes in a dozen such companies. FORBES was able to verify four: messaging platform Tinychat, social-*curation app Stamped, gaming outfit Sojo Studios and, most critically, Spot*i*fy, the disruptive music service founded by Daniel Ek and backed by everyone from Sean Parker to Li Ka-shing.

These deals aren’t equity-for-endorsement trades. Bieber put cash into each one, and few of the companies have promoted their links to the singer. Spotify, which is still working to establish itself in the U.S., wouldn’t even discuss Bieber’s investment.

........Bieber’s first investment came in 2009, and though he won’t reveal that company’s name, he’s been on a venture capital roll ever since. Last January he and Braun joined a $1.5 million financing round for Tinychat, along with A-Grade (the investment fund run by actor Ashton Kutcher, billionaire Ron Burkle and Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager). In May Bieber joined Google Ventures and Bain Capital to invest in Stamped, an app that allows users to rate everything from restaurants to music. Spotify was the big one, as founder Daniel Ek recruited a handful of recording artists to buy in while seeking industry credibility ahead of his company’s U.S. launch last year. Next up: Viddy, a video-sharing app with an Instagram-like interface.

In a typical Bieber deal he’ll put in about $250,000 at the favorable pricing generally reserved for smart money—the kind of strategic partners that help a company long term. Braun won’t disclose the size of Bieber’s portfolio but says it’s between 2% and 5% of the singer’s net worth. FORBES puts Bieber’s fortune at about $80 million, which translates to somewhere in the ballpark of $3 million in venture investments.

You're a fukking idiot.

1) He came up from nothing. You gotta respect that.

2) He's 18 years old making moves that would put grown men to shame.

3) You're hating on people getting financial advice? I suppose he should master stocks and bonds while touring and recording albums?

at you you fukking fool for expecting an 18 year old to make these kind of decisions by himself.

4) What's stopping all these rappers from seeking financial advice? Why does 2chainz brag about Gucci when it's minor in the grand scheme of things.

5) You are dismissed. Go back to your PAWG threads or whatever you c00ns do on here.

 

[Sinnerman]

I respect the hell out of him. it pains when i hear grown ass men hating on him. reeks of jealousy

 

[CoolazzFemale]

Hope his finacial team isn't a bunch of thieves. Hope he really is keeping an eye on all of his money himself and not depending on a damn accountant.

Justin Bieber is not better than anyone just because he can invest many of his millions into stocks and bonds. You people are acting like he's some kind of genius for being able to cash in on his irritating, prepubescent voice.

No one cares about this kid. Take your shyt elsewhere.

 

[Trajan]

You guys are content with ignorance. This thread is not for you. It's aimed at the posters who can see the bigger picture and who actually want to see minorities come up.

I was pointing out that Justing Bieber is investing 250k in start ups which may be worth billions in a few years time while 2chains's 35 year old ass is caught up in Gucci.

How many rappers brag about wasting 250k like it's nothing?

You guys are so narrow minded it's sad. ''Buh-bu-b-ut Justing Bieber is not hiphop'' fukk outta here. And all these threads about PAWGs are?

So why isn't your favourite rapper doing it?

Everytime I see rappers they seem to be copping Lambos on video.

''They spinning nikka...they spinning...''
