JUSTIN BIEBER, a 18 years old Canadian singer-songwriter has built incredible name and fortune of more than $100million, that too in just 3 years. Bieber, a singing sensation spotted on YouTube, is now honored as the most successful child star since Michael Jackson. Justin, the second most popular celebrity on Twitter with 14 million followers got his first success at the age of 12, when he competed with experienced entrants in a local singing competition, and came second.

The pop manager, Scooter Braun discovered him via YouTube, and took him to meet R&B singer Usher, and Justin Timberlake.
