Bruce Springsteen is now officially a billionaire

Great link you fat moron

No link = fake news

Since OP was too busy shoving powdered donuts and Bacon Bits down her pie hole, here is a link...

r1 and r2, I hope you love to eat crow.

with all that money you'd figure he could have bought nicer tits.

He is so fkin talented. Supremely. My mom went to see him back in 2013 and then we watched the concert together on YouTube. Amazing mafuckin artist.

r4 You clearly don't know what "eat crow" means, if you directed it at me r1

Awesome. Love Bruce.

Still fake. They have no idea how much money anyone makes.

I wonder if it ever bothers them that they have so much and some have nothing.

R10 maybe Bruce but most no.

I love Springsteen and my daughter is a huge Swiftie – and that’s created a bridge between us

Well, sometimes it happens to a good person, I guess.

I knew he had to be, because Obama is only friends with very rich people.

ORCA I mean Oprah is now officially a MULTI billionaire. I knew she was rich but not that rich.

"Oprah is now officially a MULTI billionaire."

Jealous, bitches?

Eat shit and die.

So like all rich people R114?

He is now officially 75.

It doesn't surprise me because it seems like the rich are getting much richer than they did in the past. I've been on a memoir kick lately and the old celebrities were paupers compared to today. The greats had estates (adjusted for inflation) that are nothing today - some 2 bit rapper has that kind of money.

R19 We all were all agreeing with you until the last sentence. It’s completely tone deaf to use the descendants of slaves as the faces of ostentatious wealth in America today.

Love Bruce. He is awesome.

A few of my meager pennies are a quark's part of his billion.

I "saw" and "heard" Springsteen perform when he was in his physical prime in 1977 or 78.

Yes, I'm old. Back then I was too young and baked off my ass on strong weed to appreciate what I was experiencing.

With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I hadn't been high as a kite.

Damn, he's rich rich.

R20 Quite the opposite. They don't have ostentatious wealth. They are earning the least but it's till more than the great movie stars and musicians earned 50 years ago even adjusted for inflation.

R19 it’s called inflation. Also, the Obama bull market Has been fantastic for wealth creation. Add housing appreciation to the worls and anyone that could make money between 2000-2017 should be in great financial Shape now, especially if you were invested in the stock maker. So much passive money to be made off of the Great Recession.

We're getting off the topic which is Tilda Springsteen but inflation and the 08 crash do not explain Ryan Reynolds making 20 million for forgettable Netflix schlock when a Ryan O'Neal made 200,000. Or Kevin Hart getting 100 million for 4 Netflix specials when Carlin got 50000 for his early HBO specials. Carlin died with a total wealth 1/10 of Hart's Netflix deal! But then CEO pay has increased 1460% since the 70s. The average salary only 15%. Springsteen has made so much money in this century. He makes 80 million per tour!!

I'm not shitting on him by the way. I'm just pointing out how much people make now once they get to a certain level. It's unprecedented. If you're like me, you likely move in circles where one million still makes people go wow so hearing that a musician has a billion is jaw dropping but Swift is already a billionaire. Rihanna is a billionaire! If I asked my friends to guess they'd probably say 'oh worth a fortune like...50 million'

A lot of these 'wealth estimations' for music performers are based on calculations of their catalogs- what they could possibly be worth should they be sold. Everybody's catalogs aren't exactly Apple stock at the end of the day (for a variety of reasons), so saying any one of these guys/gals is a billionaire is really stretching the definition. It is perfectly correct to say 'Bruce Springsteen COULD be a billionaire', and you're right. If you say 'Bruce Springsteen IS a billionaire' you're very most likely wrong. PS - R27 makes a common mistake, using gross numbers where the actual performer is lucky to net 5-10% at the end of the day. Very nearly all of the 'celebrity' crowd are, in fact, not billionaires as popularly thought.

He endorsed Kamala-Great! Sadly it won’t help-too little,too late.

If Bruce sold his catalog for a lump sum of $500 million as was reported, then he is very likely a billionaire at this point.

There's that sum, plus all the hundreds of millions he grossed over the years, from touring and record sales. He was one of the best-selling artists of the 1980s, selling tens of millions of albums (back when vinyl and CDs sold, pre-internet) and his tours - especially in the past 30 years - have netted him tens of millions. If he's been investing all of it, he's worth well north of a billion by now.

I know he owns a large estate in NJ and had property in LA at one point. He and his kids live simply, I know one of his sons is a fireman in NJ of all things. None are living flashily, there's not a lot of financial outlay there. I assume he's had excellent legal and investment advice over the years; with the returns on the market over the past 30 years he's made a ton.

He's been famous and making huge money for nearly 50 years now. He's very, very wealthy as a result.
