You won't see Bruce Springsteen living rough on the 'Streets of Philidelphia', he could probably buy every mansion in town and still have money to spare. The 'Born in the U.S.A' singer is living pretty on the back of his many years of hit records and sold out tours.
Known to his thousands of fans simply as "The Boss", it actually took until Springsteen's third album for him to achieve mainstream chart success, but once the ball started rolling it never stopped. He's sold more than 120 million albums over the course of his career and earned $40m in the year 2017-2018 alone. Having gone beyond being a simple rock star, Springsteen is a cultural icon, and in 2017 he was awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the outgoing President Barack Obama. He's shy of giving interviews and is believed to have only given one press conference in the past 25 years.
