Bruce Springsteen can lean back, if he so wishes.

According to the magazine Forbes, the star's latest world tour has made the rock icon a dollar billionaire and his fortune is believed to be around 1.1 billion dollars, equivalent to approximately 7.9 billion kronor.

With superhits like "The River" and "Dancing in the Dark", Springsteen's fortune has steadily grown over the years, and when he sold the rights to his music to the record company Sony Music in 2021, it brought in an estimated half a billion dollars.

Throughout his career, he has sold over 140 million albums, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.

According to the industry magazine Pollstar, "The Boss" sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets in 2023, generating 380 million dollars in revenue.

The 74-year-old recently Sweden-active star shows no signs of slowing down, with an ongoing world tour running until 2025.

The list of dollar billionaires includes, among others, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Taylor Swift.
