Bruce Springsteen is setting the record straight Forbes reports that his estimated net worth is over $1.1 billion.
According to ForbesSpringsteen made his fortune by turning his “blue-collar, New Jersey upbringing into a considerable fortune over five decades of touring and recording.” He has sold more than 140 million albums globally, with 21 studio albums, 10 live albums and 7 EPs.
In an interview with TelegraphSpringsteen said he is not really a billionaire because he spends a lot of money.
“I’m not a billionaire,” he said. “I wish I was, but they were really wrong. I spent too much money on unnecessary things.”
The 75-year-old icon notes that while spending money should be something that comes with “your luck” once you’ve earned it, it becomes a problem if money becomes your main goal.
“That’s usually where people go south,” he said.
In December 2021, Springsteen made headlines when he sold his music catalog to Sony Music for a record $500 million.
“I am delighted that my legacy will continue to be cared for by the Company and the people I know and trust,” he said in a statement at the time.
Currently, Springsteen is focused on the upcoming presidential election, supporting Kamala Harris and criticizing Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate in my lifetime,” Springsteen said in a video endorsing Harris. “His disregard for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power will make him removed from the presidency again. He didn’t understand what it meant.” of this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American.”
He continued: “We are about to have one of the most consequential elections in our country’s history, perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt so divided in terms of politically, spiritually and emotionally as they are now.” “It doesn’t have to be that way. The common values and shared stories that make us a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and told anew.”
He also appeared at a rally supporting Harris in Atlanta with former president Barack Obama.
