Bruce Springsteen's net worth shows how his empire has grown in the music industry since he debuted decades ago.
Springsteen started his career with the band The Rogues at local venues after he saw The Beatles' appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the 1960s. The singer, who recently postponed the rest of his September concerts due to peptic ulcer, has since continuously expanded his career and become one of the richest musicians in the world.
How Much Is Bruce Springsteen's Net Worth?
With nearly six decades of career, Bruce Springsteen's net worth hit $650 million as of 2023, making him one of the highest-paid and best-selling musicians in history.
Springsteen received support from his mother, who took out a loan to buy him a $60 Kent guitar, and he detailed that heartfelt moment in his song, "The Wish." From there, the musician started playing with more bands from the 1960s to 1970s until he scored talent scout John Hammon's interest.
Clive Davis soon signed him to Columbia Records, and he released his debut studio album, "Greetings from Asbury Park," in January 1973.
Springsteen's first record garnered critical acclaim but had slow sales. His second studio album, "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle," went through the same, but he did not give up and continued his music career until he achieved success through the album "Born to Run."
Among the albums he released, his 1984 single "Born in the U.S.A." ultimately became one of the best-selling albums. The singer released more albums and songs in the years thereafter, including "The Rising," "Devils & Dust," "Working on a Dream," "Wrecking Ball," "Letter To You" and "Only the Strong Survive."
In 2021, Forbes named him the highest-earning musician of the year after raking a whopping $435 million.
How Much Does He Earn from His Tours?
Aside from his success as a solo singer, he and his band successfully sold 20.8 million tickets over the last 40 years, topping the Top Touring Artists rankings by Pollstar.
The ticket sales led the group to earn around $1.53 billion in reported gross income, securing the fourth spot. Seventh placer Bon Jovi was also on the list, earning $1.33 billion from its 17.7 million ticket sales.
Per APP, the other artists that completed the top 10 were The Rolling Stones, U2 and Elton John (top 1 to 3) and Madonna (5th), Celine Dion (6th), Eagles (8th), Metallica (9th) and Paul McCartney (10th).
