Bruce Springsteen is living proof that a Boss sometimes has to take some nightshifts and have a hungry heart to achieve his recent billionaire status.
But possibly he’s just tougher than the remaining?
The 74-year-old Jersey singer, who became rock ‘n’ roll’s voice of the working class, is now price $1.1 billion, in line with a “conservative” Forbes estimate.
As for the way he’s amassed his vast fortune, the magazine cited that much of his net price has been solidified prior to now few years along with his greater than 71 million albums sold within the U.S. and 140 million worldwide. Moreover, his best-selling autobiography, Born to Run, and his sold-out Broadway show, Springsteen on Broadway, have contributed significantly.
Nevertheless it doesn’t stop there. In 2021, Springsteen sold his music catalog to Sony for an estimated $500-$550 million, marking the largest transaction ever achieved for a single artist’s body of labor. Pollstar reported that in 2023, The Boss sold greater than 1.6 million concert tickets, generating $380 million in revenue.
Springsteen is among the many bestselling music artists of all time. He’s won 20 Grammy Awards, an Oscar, and a special Tony Award for his critically acclaimed, stripped-back one-man show.
Springsteen’s movie, which can follow the making of his 1982 album, Nebraska, can also be within the works. It was first announced that the film was in production in April 2024. The film doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but we do know it’s going to star Jeremy Allen White.
The Grammy winner has also continued touring well into his 70s, playing 3-hour long shows night after night, most recently in Stockholm for the European leg of his 2024 tour, which he and the E Street Band will proceed in Bergen, Norway in just a few short days.
Reviewing his April 6 Los Angeles show, which had been postponed from 2023 because of an illness, Variety‘s Chris Willman wrote, “Springsteen has placed on a tour that’s probably the most bittersweet show on earth, until it finally settles for being the happiest, and infrequently even goofiest… after which turns heartbreaking again for the ultimate encore.”
Springsteen grew up in a working-class family in a town on the Jersey Shore and purchased his first guitar after watching the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. He played in bands in highschool and released his debut album in 1973, ‘Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.’
Singing concerning the thrills and traps of adolescence, young love, and getting the hell out of Latest Jersey, Springsteen spurned hits like ‘Born to Run,’ ‘Thunder Road,’ ‘I’m on Fire’ and ‘Dancing within the Dark.’ He became a hero of the common man, and probably the most essential figures in American music.
