Justin Bieber could be entitled to a share of his wife Hailey’s billion-dollar beauty brand payday if they were to split up — as the couple never signed a prenup, multiple sources told Page Six.
The pop star, 31, wed the model turned entrepreneur in 2018, and they have been dogged by rumors of marital woe ever since, although Hailey, 28, last month blasted jealous “bitches” who keep the speculation circulating.
She set up Rhode In 2022 and sold the brand to e.l.f. Beauty last week in a billion-dollar deal.
“It’s highly unusual for people of their stature to not have an agreement that governs their assets,” a top Hollywood divorce lawyer told Page Six of prenups. “But sometimes people don’t want to do it.”
The Biebers wed in a New York City courthouse ceremony followed by a lavish ceremony in South Carolina. But, the divorce lawyer said, “Because they live in California, the state would have jurisdiction, and the law states that anything created during marriage is community property. If there is no prenup [or] postnuptial … agreement, this sounds like community property to me.”
We have reached out to reps for the Biebers.
Hailey, who is set to join e.l.f. as Rhode’s chief creative officer and head of innovation, hit the jackpot with her beauty brand — but won’t actually be taking home a billion dollars.
E.l.f. is paying $800 million in cash and stock at the close of the deal, expected before September. Another $200 million is based on Rhode’s performance over the next three years, according to reports.
“There are two things happening here,” said Richard Kestenbaum, partner and co-founder of Triangle Capital LLC, who admitted it’s hard to know precisely how much Hailey will make. “The people who invested on different terms are entitled to be paid out first — they’re entitled to make a profit before anyone makes a profit.
“That’s called a preference. It reduces proceeds for everyone else and that includes Hailey.”
As Page Six previously reported, although she’s a big spender, Hailey has “become kind of the breadwinner,” for her family, which includes the couple’s nine-month-old son Jack Blues.
But Hailey might not be entitled to Justin’s “Baby” money in the event of a split.
In 2023, the singer sold his entire music catalog to investment company Hipgnosis Songs Capital. “If Justin’s music catalog originated prior to his marriage, that is separate property. Regardless of when you sell the catalog, it’s still separate,” said the divorce lawyer.
That means his first four albums and hit songs including “Baby,” “Love Yourself,” “Sorry” and “What Do You Mean” would ostensibly be separate property.
Justin hasn’t released an album since 2021’s “Justice,” although The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that he is “very close” to finishing a new project.
In September 2022, he pulled the plug on the remainder of his “Justice” tour following a rare diagnosis of Type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a facial paralysis disease — losing out on an estimated $90 million in income.
The “Peaches” singer hasn’t toured since and, given the music industry’s shift to streaming, concerts are where artists make the majority of their income.
Meanwhile, the Biebers own six homes — including a $26 million mansion in Beverly Hills, a $16 million home in La Quinta and a property in Idaho — and hardly live a simple life.
“These two are traveling on vacations every two days on Instagram, they’re running around with full-time security and there’s no money coming in for a long time,” a well-placed source told us last month.
When Hailey’s cover of Vogue was revealed for the June issue, husband made a surprising statement on Instagram about their marriage — revealing he once told her during an argument that she “would never be on the cover of Vogue.”
He later deleted the caption.
As for the rumors of marital problems, Hailey told Vogue: “You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no. So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.”
