Justin Bieber may have all the money in the world, but that's not to say he shouldn't learn to curb his spending. His mother, Pattie Mallette has reportedly banned him from driving until he turns 18, because of his latest purchase.

The Biebs always rolls in style, which is why, at just 17 years of age, he can boast of being the proud owner of a Batman-customized Cadillac and a Ferrari.

He's added a new acquisition to his collection, a customized Range Rover, which infuriated his mother, The National Enquirer says in its latest print edition (story via here).

The singer's newest toy cost no less than $160,000 (€119,805) and the purchase appears to have made his mother mad, the tabloid claims.

“Pattie blew a gasket when she learned about Justin’s wild spending spree. As a result, she is forbidding him from driving until he turns 18, unless he’s accompanied by an adult chaperon,” an unnamed but admittedly reliable source says for the aforementioned publication.

“During a recent visit to England, the 17 year-old singer reportedly treated himself to a customized 'Project Kahn' Range Rover, complete with a souped-up Cosworth engine, custom paint job and a sound system worth tens of thousands of dollars,” the Enquirer writes.

While Justin can certainly afford such an expensive means of transportation, his mother believes the latest purchase belies his tendency to overspend.

“Pattie is trying to get Justin’s wild spending under control,” the spy explains.

As we also noted on several previous occasions, in recent months, there's been a lot of talk about how Justin's spending might turn out to be too much even for his impressive worth.

If one is to believe word online, he's been splurging on presents for himself, on his entourage and to impress his girlfriend Selena Gomez, and friends are worried this could get out of hand soon.

The interest on his fortune should be about 12 million USD a year. I think he will be ok. His mother better watch out, or he may take that house he bought her back! He should be cautious, but the way things are going, the banks may fail and he wont have a dime then. If that happens, at least he will have a house and some cool automobiles.
