Justin Bieber announces 'wild' tech career move that could earn him millions
Bieber is set to headline Coachella next year
Justin Bieber has announced a ‘wild’ shift in his career that could result in him earning millions of dollars.
While it’s unlikely that the singer will need the cash, especially after scooping a record-breaking $10 million payday for his upcoming Coachella performance, Bieber appears to be making a move into the streaming world.
This comes after the star launched his first ever live stream on Twitch, and has promised fans that there will be a lot more in the future.
The stream was filmed in a large indoor space complete with a pool table, basketball court, skateboard half-pipe and a golf course.

Viewers were able to watch the singer shoot hoops with friends before moving on to the pool table for a game of pool.
After 45 minutes of barely noticing the audience, Bieber grabbed a camera and gave viewers a tour of the space, taking them to ‘behind the scenes’ area where a team of staff were managing the broadcasted event.
Bieber then decided to skateboard for a bit before finishing the stream with a game of ping pong.
Ending the live, Bieber signed off with: “I’m gonna cut the stream.”
Last month, it was announced that he will be headlining Coachella in April next year along with singer Sabrina Carpenter.
It was reported by Rolling Stone that sources had revealed Bieber would be receiving over $10 million for the gig, making it a record-breaking paycheck.
This will make the star the highest paid act to ever take the stage at the festival, beating the likes of Beyonce, Lady Gaga and The Weeknd.
It has also been reported that Bieber had negotiated the deal himself directly with Coachella’s promoter Goldenvoice.
The source said: “It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own. Between headlining Coachella and the success of SWAG, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin - one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.”
The source continued: “Bieber is an unshakeable artist who has stood up against the grain and fought for his independence.
“His 2026 Coachella performance won’t just be a headlining set, but a once-in-a-generation spectacle from a once-in-a-generation pop icon.”
Bieber’s most recent album SWAG was released back in July and was a huge comeback success for the singer after he canceled his world tour in 2022.
Until recently, Bieber has been keeping a low profile but appears to be back better than ever.
