{allcanada} Bieber's bad behavior pays off to the tune of $80M

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Movie)

Justin Bieber's bad behavior hasn't hurt his wallet yet.

Though the last year has seen the 20-year-old stumble from one embarrassing incident to another — being caught leaving a brothel in Rio, getting busted for egging a neighbor's house and abandoning his monkey in Germany, just to name a few — the pop star is still the highest-earning entertainer under the age of 30, according to Forbes.

Thanks in part to the final leg of his world tour, the "Baby" singer brought in a staggering $80 million during the 12-month period (June 2013 to June 2014) analyzed by the magazine for its annual Celebrity 100 list.

Bieber is joined by eight other musicians on the top 10 list, including One Direction, Taylor Swift and Rihanna.

Jennifer Lawrence is the only entry from the world of film, having earned $34 million during the period.

The highest-earning entertainers under 30:

1. Justin Bieber, 20, $80 million
2. One Direction, 21 (average age), $75 million
3. Taylor Swift, 24, $64 million
4. Bruno Mars, 29, $60 million
5. Rihanna, 26, $48 million
6. Miley Cyrus, 22, $36 million
7. Jennifer Lawrence, 24, $34 million
8. Lady Gaga, 28, $33 million
9. Avicii, 25, $28 million
10. Skrillex, 26, $18 million
