The Boss has officially reached billionaire status.
After more than five decades in the spotlight, Bruce Springsteen was declared a billionaire by Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion as of Friday.
In its report, the American business magazine noted 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 catalogue to Sony Music Entertainment for an estimated $500 million to $550 million.
In addition to selling his entire catalog, including his compositions and recordings, the 20-time Grammy winner has made a fortune touring around the world.
Last year, “it sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets, generating $380 million in revenue,” according to Variety.
