Scooter Braun has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Scooter Braun net worth page (figures as of March 27, 2026).
Scooter Braun is an American businessman, investor, former talent manager and record executive who was born on June 18, 1981. He is known for discovering Justin Bieber and for managing stars such as Ariana Grande, Kanye West and Demi Lovato. He founded Schoolboy Records, co-founded the investment firm TQ Ventures and Mythos Studios, and built the holding company Ithaca Holdings. He retired from artist management in 2024.
He grew up in Connecticut and left Emory University to chase a music career. He began by planning parties, including after-parties for the Anger Management Tour in 2002, and then worked in marketing at So So Def Records. In 2007 he started SB Projects, and in 2008 he scouted a 13-year-old Bieber after clicking on a YouTube video. That discovery launched one of the biggest management careers in pop.
How Scooter Braun makes his money
Management was the engine. As a manager he took a share of what his artists earned, and a client list that grew to include Bieber, Grande, Kanye West, Psy, Carly Rae Jepsen and Martin Garrix made that share large. SB Projects also handled brand campaigns, music licensing deals and tour sponsorships.
He also built companies around the talent. Ithaca Holdings, his holding company, raised $120 million in venture capital in 2010, and in 2019 it bought Big Machine Label Group. In 2020 Ithaca sold the Taylor Swift master recordings for a reported $405 million, which earned Ithaca $265 million.
His biggest payday came in April 2021, when South Korea's Hybe agreed to acquire Ithaca Holdings in a deal estimated at around $1.05 billion. Braun became CEO of Hybe America and joined the Hybe board, and he stepped down as CEO in 2025 while staying on as a board director and senior advisor.
Outside music he has been an executive producer on film and television, including the comedy Dave, the documentary Never Say Never and the CBS drama Scorpion. He was also an early investor in Uber, Spotify, Pinterest and Lyft.
