DWI Drama "Can't Stop the Feeling" Justin Timberlake Gets When He Looks in His Bank Account

He was singing “Bye, Bye, Bye” when driven away in a police cruiser on June 18, 2024, although Justin Timberlake has since been released. Known for his multifaceted career in music, acting, and business, Justin has amassed a considerable fortune despite a recent DWI scandal.

As the internet jokes in NSYNC quotes about Justin’s arrest, people are wondering why he was even driving in the first place when taking into account his considerable net worth. Most celebrities have more than enough money to hire drivers, and when out drinking, it should be a no-brainer. So what is Justin’s net worth and why didn’t someone drive him home?

As of 2024, Justin Timberlake's net worth is estimated to be around $250 million. This substantial sum comes from his success in various entertainment sectors. From his early days with NSYNC to his solo music career, Justin has consistently been a top earner in the industry. Justin’s albums and singles have sold millions of copies worldwide. His tours are always in high demand, grossing millions in ticket sales.

Beyond music, he has ventured into acting, starring in hit films like The Social Network, Friends with Benefits, and our personal favorite, Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping, which draws on his lucrative comedic relationship with Lorne Michaels and the SNL family. Plus, Justin stars in the Trolls franchise, which has developed from one lovable children’s film into a mega-earning franchise with spin-off films, television series, albums, and more.

Justin’s net worth isn't solely dependent on his entertainment career. He's made smart investments and endorsements that significantly contribute to his wealth. His stakes in the clothing line William Rast and the MySpace social network show his business acumen. Additionally, Justin has lucrative endorsement deals with major brands such as Nike, Sony, and Sauza Tequila, and he shares a minority stake in the Memphis Grizzlies with his wife, Jessica Biel.

These partnerships not only boost his earnings but also enhance his brand image, keeping him in the public eye and relevant across different market segments. Of course, behind every great man is a great woman. Jessica has contributed to their combined $250 million net worth, although Justin likely brought in at least $200 million of their earnings.

In recent news, Justin Timberlake faced a DWI arrest, which has sparked a flurry of media attention. While this incident is a significant personal setback, its impact on his net worth might be minimal in the long term. Celebrities often bounce back from such scandals, and Justin’s established career and loyal fanbase provide a solid foundation for recovery.

Historically, Justin has managed to maintain his professional standing despite personal controversies, most notably with Britney Spears amidst the reveal of her abortion in her memoir, The Woman in Me. Even still, Justin’s talent and charisma continue to attract new projects and opportunities, ensuring a steady flow of income.

But many fans couldn’t help but call out Justin’s stupidity in the face of his arrest. Anyone with a $250 million net worth likely has a personal chauffeur, bodyguard, and other types of security that should be responsible for Justin’s safety and innocence. Us normies have to drive or call an Uber, but Justin could literally call a limo on speed dial and get to where he needs to be. So why wouldn’t he?

It’s possible that he just wanted to feel a little freedom. Some people like to drive, and with a few drinks, Justin may have been thinking, ‘I just want to be a normal boy!’ But normal boys don’t make headlines when they get a DWI. But likely with some impressive financial padding and a familial support system, he’ll be more than OK.
