Rock legend Bruce Springsteen is now a billionaire
"The Boss" is now part of the billionaires' club: Forbes magazine estimates the fortune of US rock legend Bruce Springsteen at 1.1 billion dollars (1.01 billion euros).
The singer of "Born in the USA" and "Dancing in the Dark" has amassed a considerable fortune. The sale of his song rights to Sony in 2021 for an estimated 500 million dollars is likely to have contributed significantly to this.
Around 380 million dollars earned in 2023
The 74-year-old musician is currently on a world tour that is set to last until 2025. According to industry observer Pollstar, Springsteen sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets last year and took in 380 million dollars.
Springsteen has sold around 140 million albums worldwide. The musician, who was born in the US state of New Jersey, has been awarded 20 Grammys and an Oscar. Other big names in the industry who have made it into the billionaires' club are Rihanna, Jay-Z and Taylor Swift.
