Justin Bieber is a 17-year-old bazillionaire who probably hasn't learned to save his loads of hard-earned cash yet. So we guess we shouldn't be too surprised at some of his frivolous purchases. But $19,000 for a single trip on a private jet? We're just glad he hasn't bought the $22 million Cessna Citation X jet yet.
Thanks to Bieber's photo-sharing Instagram account, fans everywhere can see what Bieber's up to by the pictures he posts...as well as how much the pop star is spending on a daily basis. In addition to the $19K a pop private jet trip, Bieber has spent a few gazillian pretty pennies on other luxuries too.
Those items include a Ferrari F430 ($200,000), a Lamborghini Gallardo ($200,000), a chartered yacht for two ($300,000) and a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich ($2.75.) OK, so that last thing isn't exactly a frivolous purchase, but it is delicious.
Anyway, here's a photo that Justin's music video director (and good friend) Alfredo Flores tweeted while aboard the flashy jet with the following caption: "BOOM BOOM POW! @JustinBieber @SelenaGomez...See the creeper?"
That creeper is Justin's bodyguard in the background by the way. And the dude sticking his tongue out is Mr. Alfredo Flores himself, just in case you're wondering.
But, back to the point. Do you think Justin Bieber's private jet purchases are too much -- or does he have a right to spend spend spend?

Besides, once she is no longer famous, she will need that money to buy food.
So the democans and republicrats in congress can waste even more money?
I say let him keep spending it like crazy. He STIMULATES THE ECONOMY while doing it. He employs people that work on planes, boats, and cars. He makes a need for employees at the food restaurants and every other service he buys. He pays state, local, and federal taxes for all of that stuff including a fuel tax which helps those governments provide the services LOCALLY. If the Federal government gets it they are simply going to waste it like they do the money they have now.
I say it should be ILLEGAL for Congress to raise taxes until they actually PASS A BUDGET. That way they can at minimum have a baseline to go by. No more of this continuing resolution BS. Pass a REAL BUDGET (preferably a balanced budget). Until the congress knows what is supposed to be spent they should NOT be able to try to take more money from ANYONE. Congress also needs to get rid of this automatic ANNUAL increase in government budget. The government projections currently allow the LYING POLITICIANS to tell us they cut the budget simply because they DECREASED THE PLANNED INCREASE. Sorry but that is not a CUT that is STILL AN INCREASE, albeit a smaller one.
Are you seriously saying they should be rewarded for NOT doing their j...

Are you seriously saying they should be rewarded for NOT doing their jobs? Or are you saying that we should allow Obama to steal money from private citizens so that he can continue to practice crony capitalism with companies like GE, GM, Solyndra, and all the other companies he gave billions to along with George Bush? Obama has done NOTHING to earn that kind of trust with money. He even hired a guy to head the IRS that DIDN'T PAY HIS OWN TAXES......... until he was hired.
Your profile says conservative but that was a VERY liberal remark.
JMHO
I'd like to actually see some FAIR tax plan, where EVERYONE has some skin in the game. Then EVERYONE will want responsibility in government spending. I'm sick of the sponges in society voting themselves a handout.
I like the idea of the minimized tax on income which allows people to keep more of their hard earned money, I also like the concept of the sales tax. That way I am NOT PENALIZED FOR SAVING FOR RETIREMENT. It is also a way to let these cry baby 'class warfare' types have the rich pay more in taxes. After all the 'rich' BUY MORE and will therefore pay more in taxes. ;0)
I guess you could ask Selena Gomez.
love him or hate him he did earn the money so he can spend it as he wishes
Besides, I have nothing against Justin Bieber but the dude spends WAY TOO MUCH money, he's abusing his benefits. And he's gonna lose it all in an instant.
I mean he spent $25k ($25000) on a freaking Stewie necklace!!!
A Big Zero. Perfect example of a kid out of control being leached on by his handlers and parents.
