The Boss has officially reached billionaire status.
After more than five decades in the spotlight, Bruce Springsteen was Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion, as of Friday.
The American business magazine noted in its report that the singer’s representatives “could not confirm Forbes’ estimate.”
The report comes less than three years after the 74-year-old Born in the USA hitmaker sold his multi-platinum music catalog to Sony Music Entertainment for an estimated $500-550 million.
In addition to selling his entire repertoire – including songwriting and recordings – the 20-time Grammy winner has made a fortune touring the world.
Last year he sold “more than 1.6 million concert tickets, generating $380 million in revenue,” according to Variety.

Throughout his career, the father of three has topped the charts and released 21 studio albums, 23 live albums, 77 singles and 66 music videos.
Springsteen is one of the most successful artists of the last century.
According to the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA), he has sold 65.5 million albums in the US alone.
Springsteen has been loyal to his manager of nearly 50 years, Jon Landau, for decades. Together, the two have been nothing short of a success.
In addition to the lucrative deals for his publishing and song catalog, Springsteen is also one of the highest-grossing touring entertainers of all time, generating more than $840 million from touring revenue between 2010 and 2019 alone, according to Pollstar.
