Bruce Springsteen, known for being a blue-collar man who makes songs for the working man, now has a net worth of more than $1 billion, according to an analysis from Forbes, released Friday.
The New Jersey-born rocker works hard for that money. The three-hour shows he and the E Street Band perform are the hottest ticket this side of Taylor Swift, and he's been doing it a lot longer than Traves Kelce's girlfriend.
Forbes reported Springsteen's tour sold more than 1.6 million tickets worth $380 million last year, and estimates Springsteen's net value, a conservative estimate, at $1.1 billion.
Not bad for a guy who grew up in Freehold Township, New Jersey.

Springsteen, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years ago, is still going strong. Last year, he rocked MetLife Stadium for three nights, and after some issues with an ulcer, he's back touring sold-out shows across the world with the E Street Band.
Springsteen has released 21 studio albums and seven live albums, and has sold nearly 150 million albums. He's also won 20 Grammys and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Still, despite his fortune, Springsteen has never shied away from being the working-man's musician. And he remains proud of his roots.

"Well, I like living 10 minutes from Freehold, 20 from Asbury Park," Springsteen said to Variety in 2017. “The main thing that grounded us here is we had a huge family, like an 80-member-or-more Italian-Irish family, and when we had our kids, we brought them back here because we wanted them to grow up around family.
"We were lucky enough to have them all in one area at a certain moment — that’s unusual these days — and they all basically grew up here around their aunts and cousins and grandmoms: how I grew up," he continued. "We have this beautiful farm, and yet we're only 25 minutes from the ocean … and I'm still a beach bum so I’ll swim until November. It's just still a place that we love, man."
