He started as a child actor in the "Mickey Mouse Club" alongside several other big names like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling. As he grew older, he became part of the pop boy band NSYNC. From 1995 to 2002, Justin and NSYNC rose to fame, churning out hit after hit. Their first three albums alone sold 300 million copies. As a group, they earned just under $260 million in the US alone in the year 2000. After NSYNC disbanded in 2002, Justin moved forward with his solo career.
Justin's first solo record, "Justified," released in 2002, earned $10 million in sales. His follow-up record, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," released in 2007, earned him $15 million, and his 2013 album, "The 20/20 Experience," earned him $4 million.
He has toured on his own and with other artists, generating ticket sales of upwards of $900 million from 2003 to 2018.
However, Justin is more than just a sweet voice. As of late, he has also dabbled in producing.
Over the years, JT cashed in on his public image with various product endorsements, sponsorships, and brand partnerships. Brands he has worked with include McDonald's, Levi's, American Express, and Mastercard.
