With an estimated net worth of $200 million, Justin Bieber can certainly afford to rack up a parking fine or two without too much drama.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's any less embarrassing - especially when he was sitting at the wheel of his ostentatious bright red Ferrari when he received the unwelcome gift during an outing in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

Indeed, the popstar looked positively mortified as the parking officer diligently imputed Bieber's details into his electronic ticket machine, reportedly issuing him with a $200 fine for parking in the red zone during what was supposed to be a leisurely ice-cream outing.

The fine certainly put a dampener on the sweet treat run, proving to be a costly excursion for the 20-year-old.

While Bieber remained behind the wheel of his vehicle with the window rolled up as the citation was issued, his burly bodyguard - who had presumably been sent into the store to pick up the frozen dessert - quickly leapt into action, standing over the officer as he did his job.

Two for one! Despite his best efforts, there was nothing that he could do to get Justin off the ticket, in fact, the bodyguard appeared to also be issued a fine of his own, his black SUV parked behind Bieber's, the pair amassing almost $200 in fines between them at roughly $90 a pop

Unfortunately for the pair, his presence did nothing to stop the official from issuing the ticket - in fact, the bodyguard also appeared to get one of his own, having followed his young charge in a black SUV which was parked behind him, also in the red.

Parking fines in the affluent neighbourhood average about $90, with the pair racking up the best part of $200 between them.

Though it wasn't the most auspicious end to the weekend, at least it wasn't a complete fizzer for the hitmaker.

Peekaboo, we see you! The 20-year-old looked downcast as he remained in his vehicle with the windows up as the exchange took place

On Friday night, the newly single star enjoyed a night out with pals before bringing a bevy of young girls back to keep the party going.

He then followed it up with a day of retail therapy in Beverly Hills with pal Lil Twist on Saturday, the pair dropping their hard-earned cash at a number of luxury stores.

All in a day's work: With a net worth of approximately $200 million, Bieber can certainly afford to cough up a measly few hundred dollars

Hot wheels! The hitmaker's snazzy sports car didn't go unnoticed as he parked on busy South Santa Monica Boulevard, which is quite the tourist hub

In the red: Both Justin and his bodyguard appeared to have parked in the red zone, the busy street notoriously bad for parking - especially on the weekends
