Overview

  • Under the agreement, Bieber will repay $26 million for the Justice tour advance that Braun’s Hybe initially paid to AEG Presents.
  • He also agreed to pay $5.5 million toward unpaid commissions, covering half of the more than $11 million Braun claimed was owed.
  • An independent PwC audit had identified an additional $8.6 million in commissions, which Braun waived to facilitate the settlement.
  • Bieber originally committed to a ten-year repayment plan but stopped after a single payment, prompting Braun to seek audit findings and renewed negotiations.
  • The resolution closes a dispute dating back to the cancellation of Bieber’s 2022 Justice tour and their management split in 2023.
