Justin Timberlake — Boy Band to Billionaire Brand

Justin Timberlake transformed from NSYNC, which sold 70 million records worldwide, into a solo billionaire brand starting with his debut album Justified in 2002, which sold 10 million copies. FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006) produced the iconic single "SexyBack" and established him as pop's most versatile male artist. His acting pivot included serious critical respect for The Social Network and voice work in the Trolls franchise, which earned $900 million+ combined. His 2018 Super Bowl halftime show reached 103 million viewers. Despite recent DUI troubles and internet memes, Timberlake is the only former boy band member to achieve sustained solo A-list status.
