By now you know that Justin Bieber is this month's Forbes magazine cover subject due to his massive influence in entertainment and pop culture. In addition to hi-liting the Bieber influence, the story also revealed that the pop prince has also been busy on the business front as a savvy investor in tech start ups like messaging platform Tinychat, social-curation app Stamped, gaming outfit Sojo Studios and the Spotify music service.
The teen invests millions directly into private tech startup companies and holds stakes in a dozen or so companies.

It's not like he endorses or promotes an app or a service and people use it. He funds them.
