The Beliebers are shelling out the cash…

We all knew that Justin Bieber has been raking in the cash over the last few years but we didn’t realise the extent of it.

According to Forbes, the Canadian boyo managed to earn $80 million during the 12-month period between June 2013 and June 2014. *JOE picks jaw up off the floor*

The biggest windfall came from his world tour but he also made loads of dollars off of music sales and merchandise. The 20-year-old is a money making machine.

Here are the top 10 highest-earning entertainers under 30, according to Forbes:

1. Justin Bieber, $80 million (age 20)

2. One Direction, $75 million (age 21 – average age)

3. Taylor Swift, $64 million (age 24)

4. Bruno Mars, $60 million (age 29)

5. Rihanna, $48 million (age 26)
