Forbes reported Bruce Springsteen’s billionaire status today, conservatively estimating his net worth to be around $1.1 billion.

The 74-year-old New Jersey musician and working class icon has experienced relatively consistent financial success since his 1975 breakout album Born to Run, and according to his memoir, finally entered a place of financial stability in the early ’80s.

Since then, Springsteen’s net worth has only grown in stature, concluding with a very profitable last few years. In 2021, right after he finished the second run of Springsteen on Broadway, Springsteen sold his entire music catalog to Sony for a whopping $500 million.

Even last year, Springsteen’s fortune grew in significant measures. Via data from Pollstar, Forbes lists Springsteen’s ticket sales from his 2023 world tour to be around 1.6 million, resulting in $380 million in revenue.

There’s even more to come, with a new Disney+/Hulu concert documentary arriving in October, tour dates plotted through 2025, and an upcoming, highly-anticipated Springsteen biopic based on the 2023 biographical book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska imminent.
