The guitar hero bard behind hits including ‘The River’ has solidified much of his wealth in recent years, the financial outlet indicated, in no small part due to a blockbuster sale in 2021 of his music catalog to Sony for an estimated half-a-billion dollars.
The deal followed his wildly successful Broadway show run. Now, Bruce Springsteen is on a global tour currently set to run through 2025.
According to industry tracker Pollstar, in 2023 Springsteen sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets, raking in $380 million in revenue.
And the 74-year-old ‘Dancing in the Dark’ singer shows no signs of slowing down.
For decades the ‘Jungleland’ songwriter has penned music that focuses a sentimental lens on underdogs and the working class — and he’s sold 140 million albums globally, placing him among the all-time bestselling musicians ever.
A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with 20 Grammys and an Oscar to his name, Springsteen is also set to be the subject of a forthcoming biopic, with Jeremy Allen White of ‘The Bear’ fame slated to play him.
