Bruce Springsteen joins billionaire club with $1.1 billion net worth

Bruce Springsteen, the iconic blue-collar musician renowned for his working-class anthems, now boasts a net worth exceeding $1 billion, as reported by Forbes on Friday. 

Hailing from Freehold Township, New Jersey, Springsteen's tireless work ethic has contributed to his financial success. 

His three-hour performances with the E Street Band are some of the most sought-after shows, rivaling even Taylor Swift's popularity. 

Forbes highlighted that Springsteen's tour sold over 1.6 million tickets, generating $380 million in revenue last year. 

They conservatively estimate his net worth at $1.1 billion.

Despite his wealth, Springsteen remains grounded. "Well, I like living 10 minutes from Freehold, 20 from Asbury Park," he told Variety in 2017, reflecting on his New Jersey roots and family ties. 

"We have this beautiful farm, and yet we're only 25 minutes from the ocean... It's just still a place that we love, man."

Springsteen, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years ago, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. 

After recovering from an ulcer, he resumed touring sold-out shows with the E Street Band. 

His impressive discography includes 21 studio albums and seven live albums, with nearly 150 million records sold. 

He has also earned 20 Grammys and a spot in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, solidifying his legacy as a music legend.
