Justin Bieber could be entitled to a major payday from his wife Hailey Bieber’s massively successful cosmetics company if they should ever divorce.
The 28-year-old model’s Rhode cosmetics company was sold late last month to E.L.F. Beauty for a reported $1 billion, and a source close to the couple recently told DailyMail.com that her friends and family are worried that the 31-year-old pop star could try to take advantage of her windfall to help cover his reported millions in debt.
That’s because the couple reportedly never signed a prenuptial agreement to determine how to split their assets up in the event of a divorce.
Divorce Attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist Stephanie Blum – who does not represent either spouse – tells DailyMail.com that, should the couple divorce amid concern for their marriage, Justin could walk away with half of Hailey’s earnings from selling Rhode because of the lack of a prenup.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives of the couple for comment.
‘Since Hailey founded Rhode cosmetics during the marriage, the money she receives for the sale would be considered community property and thus a court would order the monies divided equally between them,’ Blum explains.

After Hailey, 28, sold Rhode cosmetics to E.L.F. Beauty for a whopping $1 billion, her earnings could be vulnerable if the couple divorce amid concerns for their marriage, according to Divorce Attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist Stephanie Blum
However, it could be complicated by ‘the extent the money she receives for the sale is tied to her future work efforts,’ in which case ‘that money should go to her,’ which Blum says could lead to a fight in court over how the money should be allocated.
Bieber had his own massive sale in December 2022, when he sold off nearly 300 songs from his catalog dating up to late 2021, which earned him a reported $200 million from the buyer, Hipgnosis Songs Capital.
However, in the event of a divorce, Hailey might not have the same rights to that sum that he would have to her newly acquired fortune.

According to Blum, ‘If Justin’s song catalog consists of songs written and recorded prior to marriage, the money he receives from selling off that song catalog would be considered his separate property.’
However, that assumes that he kept those earnings separate. If he ‘mixed it up with monies earned by the parties during marriage, there could definitely be some fights about how the money should be divided,’ she says.
Blum also notes that it is ‘not common for people of Justin and Hailey’s wealth and prominence to not have a prenuptial agreement.’
People in similar situations can usually count on ‘business managers and lawyers’ to council them to get a prenup.
Technically, Hailey’s deal to sell Rhode is only for $800 million, but an extra payment of $200 million is on the table depending on how well the brand performs in the next three years after being acquired by E.L.F. Beauty

But she might not receive anything from his $200M sale of his songs. ‘If Justin’s song catalog consists of songs written and recorded prior to marriage, the money he receives from selling off that song catalog would be considered his separate property,’ Blum says
That could upend the dynamic in the couple’s wealth, as Justin may now be worth less than his wife.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the hitmaker is worth around $200 million, and Forbes reported that he was worth around $83.5 million in 2017, before the sale of rights to some songs.
‘Without a prenuptial agreement, the lesser earning spouse is potentially advantaged if they get divorced, but of course no one has a crystal ball when they get married so it can be hard to tell which one of the spouses that will be!’ Blum warns.

‘Probably when they got married, Justin had greater wealth. Would anyone have anticipated that Hailey would end up being the richer spouse?’ she adds. ‘Probably not, but good for her.’
The LA-based divorce attorney also notes that there could be a dispute between Hailey and Justin in a potential divorce if ‘there ends up being a huge disparity in the amount of money’ they each end up with, and if ‘one of them continues to work while the other doesn’t.
A source close to the couple has revealed to the DailyMail.com that Hailey’s family and friends are worried that Justin might ‘take advantage of her kindness.’
They also feared that she might end up using her hundreds of millions from the sale of Rhode to wipe out her husband’s alleged debts.
‘Friends of Hailey are concerned that she has been so ride or die with Justin that she might get enveloped into bailing him out of financial struggles,’ the insider told the Daily Mail.

‘Without a prenuptial agreement, the lesser earning spouse is potentially advantaged if they get divorced, but of course no one has a crystal ball when they get married so it can be hard to tell which one of the spouses that will be!’ Blum warns
‘She is happy to help Justin in any way she can, but friends want her to look out for herself and Jack,’ they added. ‘They don’t want to see Justin take advantage of her kindness.’
The source added that Hailey hoped Justin would get back to making music and touring, rather than spending most of his time at home, as he has been doing lately.
However, they said her friends feared that he might opt to rest on his reputation, in which case Hailey might not be able to ‘take it anymore and [it will] end up being the catalyst of a future breakup.’

Hailey Bieber looks miserable after ruined Vogue moment and Justin's steamy SZA show
Justin hasn’t one out on tour since he canceled his Justice tour midway through in September 2022 after he fell victim to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which temporarily caused him to suffer facial paralysis
Although Hailey’s deal for Rhode could be worth up to $1 billion, a finance expert recently claimed on TikTok that Hailey could end up making far less when accounting for payouts to investors and other company employees.
Earlier this week, an insider revealed to DailyMail.com the real reason the model had decided to sell her cosmetics company.
Last month, Justin was widely criticized by fans after he admitted telling Hailey that she would never be on the cover of Vogue in order to hurt her during an argument.
He made the bizarre revelation in a post intended to celebrate his wife for finally achieving a cover story on the magazine, and fans blasted him in the comments for sharing something he should have instead kept to himself.

An insider subsequently revealed to DailyMail.com that Justin and Hailey are regularly ‘at each other’s throats,’ and the bruising argument the pop star described isn’t out of the ordinary for them.
Because of that earlier argument, fans were unmoved when Justin again tried to celebrate his wife’s accomplishments by reposting a photo on Sunday that Hailey’s Rhode Beauty products will soon be sold at Sephora locations.
Instead of another take on complimenting his wife, Justin just left the caption blank this time, which only fueled further criticism in the comments section.

Even his apparent attempt at a sweet conclusion to the bizarre post couldn’t help but bring up the painful insult again.
‘So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,’ he wrote.
Commenters on the post were shocked that he would admit to such behavior.
Once user wrote that it was ‘Giving Kanye,’ and another added, ‘A simple congrats would’ve been fine I fear.’
Several fans suggested Justin should have just kept the argument a ‘secret.’
One person savaged him by commenting, ‘brother you’ll never beat the hates his wife allegations like this.’ Another fan urged him to just ‘put that phone down please.’
In the wake of Justin’s confession, fans of his wife highlighted past incidents in which he had allegedly displayed ‘unsupportive behavior’ toward his wife to contextualize the Vogue controversy.
Some fans claimed that the disheveled way he often dresses for public events with Hailey betrays a lack of respect.
