Bruce Springsteen, the 74-year-old Jersey singer, has become rock ‘n’ roll’s voice of the working class, with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion. In a landmark deal in 2021, he sold his music catalog to Sony for a reported $500-$550 million, the largest transaction ever achieved for a single artist’s body of work. Additionally, in 2023, Springsteen sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets, generating $380 million in revenue.

His accolades include 20 Grammy Awards, an Oscar, and a special Tony Award for his critically acclaimed one-man show. The film adaptation of this show was announced to be in production in April 2024. Springsteen’s musical journey began in high school, and he released his debut album, ‘Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.’ in 1973.

His songs centered on the experiences of adolescence, young love, and escaping New Jersey, producing hits like ‘Born to Run,’ ‘Thunder Road,’ ‘I’m on Fire’ and ‘Dancing in the Dark.’ He has become a hero of the common man and is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in American music.
