Justin Bieber landed at the top spot on Forbes' list of the highest-earning celebrities under 30.
The
20-year-old singer earned an estimated $80million from June 2013 to
June 2014, in part thanks to the final leg of his money-spinning world
tour.
He raked in the majority
of his earnings after he finished up his second concert tour, Believe,
on December 8, 2013 which collected $69.9m from 67 shows.
Even with his impressive earnings, Justin has endured a turbulent year, which included several incidences with the law.
In November, he paid $80,900 restitution for repair damages to his former neighbor after egging their home.
Following
the vandalism conviction, he was charged with a misdemeanor, 12-week
anger management program as well as a court hearing in February.
If
that wasn't enough, a couple weeks later the Never Say Never hitmaker
landed himself in trouble with authorities for illegally bringing his
pet primate Mally into the country without the necessary paperwork or
vaccinations.
He
was forced to pay a $10,700 bill for abandoning the monkey in Germany
and was asked to cover it's cost of living at a shelter for 17 months,
as well as his import.
Earlier
in the year, he made a $50,000 donation to a youth charity as a part of
a plea deal after being charged with driving under the influence in
Miami.
Meanwhile, the Forbes top ten featured eight other musical acts, including One Direction, Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
The only actor on the list was Hunger Games: Mockingjay star Jennifer Lawrence, 24, who came in seventh place with $34m.
Rounding out the rankings, based on entertainment-related income, were EDM DJs Avicii, $28m, and Skrillex with $18m.
