Making money has never been so easy! While we struggle through the educational requirements to mold ourselves into the work culture and try to invest and make a fortune, there are few others who follow their heart, struggle to promote their talents and raise a bigger fortune. Same applies to young celebs Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber who worked diligently to promote their musical talents at an age when majority others prepare for a grad school entrance and high school proms. Gaga and Bieber were listed by the Forbes magazine, on 6/09/2011, as the highest paid celebrities across the globe who are aged under 30.
