Justin Bieber fans were not happy after hearing how much he was paid to perform at billionaire wedding

Justin Bieber fans were left in shock after learning how much the singer was paid to perform at a private gig earlier this year.

We all know that pop stars are paid mega bucks, but despite the generous salary associated with the glamorous career, fans are calling it a 'tasteless display' of money.

Earlier this year, Bieber performed for Indian billionaire heir, Anant Ambani, and his fiancée Radhika Merchant at their pre-wedding celebrations in Mumbai.

As part of the private gig, Bieber is said to have performed tracks including 'Baby', 'Love Yourself' and 'Peaches' - and he was apparently paid a pretty hefty fee for the appearance.

It's said that the father-of-one took home a whopping $10m (£7.8m) according to reports.

One person commented on social media: "Tasteless display of $$$."

Another shared: "$10M could’ve paid for flushable toilets across India."

"Awful message for society today," said a third.

However, some fans commented on how 'easy' the fee must be for Bieber, who played less than his usual tour set.

One person posted online: "That’s the smile of a man that just made the easiest 10 m ever."

Another added: "Only 10 mill that’s nothing for a billionaire I’d hold out for at least 20!"

"Bieber said I ain’t gonna shave or nothing. Just wear a white tank and show up and do my thing. What a flex. Easy," said a third.

In other Bieber news, the singer issued a heartbreaking plea after being diagnosed with a disease common among celebrities.

Back in 2020, after months of speculation regarding his absence from the spotlight, the singer broke the news that he'd been dealt a brutal blow to his health - he'd been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The condition - which is caused by an infection prompted by a tick bite - is actually surprisingly common, especially in the celebrity realm, with countless other stars having previously opened up about their own health battles.

Sharing the news online at the time, Bieber wrote: "I've been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, not only that but had a serious case of chronic mono which affected my skin, brain function, energy, and overall health.

"It's been a rough couple years but getting the right treatment that will help treat this so far incurable disease and I will be back and better than ever."
