Originally published on E! Online

Bruce Springsteen gives a whole new meaning to the term “The Boss”.

The “Dancing in the Dark” singer has officially become a billionaire thanks to his legendary career over the past six decades.

The 74-year-old’s fortune is currently estimated at $1.1 billion, according to Forbes, which notes that the figure is on the conservative side. As for how he’s amassed his vast fortune, the magazine cited his 140 million albums sold worldwide, in addition to his best-selling autobiography, Born to Run, as well as his sold-out Broadway show, Springsteen on Broadway.

And of course, it helped that the “Streets of Philadelphia” singer sold his music catalog to Sony in 2021, netting him a lump sum of $500 million. The Grammy winner has also continued to tour well into his 70s, playing three-hour shows night after night, most recently in Stockholm for the European leg of his 2024 tour, which he and the E Street Band will continue in a few days in Bergen, Norway.

But Springsteen isn’t the only musician to join the billionaire group. Taylor Swift and Rihanna are also official members of the exclusive list.

The “Fortnight” singer’s net worth is currently estimated at $1.3 billion. She was the first musician to make the list solely for her music, which includes both album sales and ticket sales for her current “Eras Tour.”

As for Rihanna, she was able to reach her estimated $1.4 billion net worth in part thanks to Fenty Beauty, which she co-owns with French luxury retailer LVMH — whose CEO Bernard Arnault is currently ranked as the third richest person in the world with $188.3 billion.



Bruce Springsteen talks about his new album “Letter to You,” the first song he ever learned to play and his early years as a musician.
