Overview

• Under the settlement, Bieber will repay the $26 million advance AEG demanded after he canceled his Justice tour and cover $5.5 million in commission claims owed to Braun’s Hybe.
• Scooter Braun’s Hybe initially paid the $26 million shortfall to AEG and Bieber halted repayments after making a single installment under a decade-long schedule.
• A PricewaterhouseCoopers audit determined Bieber owed approximately $8.6 million in unpaid commissions, a sum Braun agreed to waive entirely.
• The agreement splits Braun’s $11 million commission claim evenly, requiring Bieber to repay just half while Braun forgives the remainder.
• The resolution brings closure to a dispute rooted in tour advances and unpaid commissions and highlights the financial complexities of artist–manager relationships.
