"200 million still a nice reset": Internet reacts as TMZ dives into Justin Bieber's money problem in new documentary

TMZ released a new documentary titled TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber? on Hulu on May 14. The documentary aims to explore allegations of drug abuse, financial issues, and his marriage in depth.

The documentary also claims that Bieber sold his music catalog for $200 million in 2022 to avoid a “financial collapse.” According to Celebrity Net Worth, his net worth is estimated to be around $300 million as of 2025.

According to TMZ, Justin Bieber has earned hundreds of millions throughout his career. Despite that, he recently sold the rights to his music due to financial problems.

As per TMZ, his former manager, Scooter Braun, also advised Bieber to hold off on the decision until January 2023. The reason behind the advice was to save on taxes. On the contrary, Justin went ahead with the sale in 2022.

The documentary also touches on tension between Justin and Braun, claiming their relation has faced problems. It even alleges that Justin owes Braun over $8 million.
