Bruce Springsteen has rejected the suggestion that he’d become a billionaire in recent times – while also admitting he wished it was true.
In August Forbes reported that the Boss had crossed the 10-figure mark, saying: “Despite his discomfort with the trappings of wealth, the Garden State’s original guitar hero has amassed a substantial fortune over six decades – which Forbes conservatively estimates to be worth $1.1 billion – singing about his blue-collar roots.”
The business magazine admitted that no one in the veteran musician’s organization had confirmed the valuation, which was reached three years after he’d sold his rights for a reported $500 million.
In a new interview with the Telegraph, Springsteen stated: “I’m not a billionaire. I wish I was, but they got that real wrong. I’ve spent too much money on superfluous things.”
He added that after the difficult early years before he broke out and achieved “good fortune,” he’d earned his paydays as he “put the work in.” And he cautioned that if a musician’s career became all about money, “that’s usually where people go south.” From his perspective it was all about protecting and nurturing his artistic abilities, arguing: “If I had failed at that, I would have failed at everything, in my opinion.”
In the same interview, Springsteen talked about his upcoming biopic, in which he’s played by actor Jeremy Allen White. “I only had to see him on The Bear, and I knew he was the right guy, because he had that interior life – but he also had a little swagger,” he said.
Bruce Springsteen Issues Another Warning About Donald Trump
And he restated his current political thinking after recently describing Donald Trump as “an American tyrant,” saying: “I think in the States, there’s an enormous anxiety… at losing the things that are dearest to us; the danger of losing democracy, rule of law, peaceful transfer of power.
“And this is a guy who is committed to none of these things. He’s an insurrectionist. You know, he led a coup on the United States government, so there’s no way he should be let anywhere near the office of the presidency.
“Are you going to sleep well knowing that the nuclear codes have been given to Donald Trump? No. No one is.”

Can’t sing, can’t dance and his material sucks—but he’s a billionaire—or he’s a liar. How does that work?
I hope he never sleeps again after Trump wins. Moron.
But he is one big a*sshole.
Well, he’s also an idiot, for whatever that’s worth.
Unfortunately, he’s from MY hometown. Not all of us from there are brainwashed Leftist morons (but I repeat myself) - some of us actually paid attention in our history and economics classes, and know why capitalism and freedom is better than Communism and slavery.
Socialists aren’t worried about America having a tyrant ruling us as long as it’s THEIR TRYANT ruling us
He’s not a billionaire, damn it! He’s only worth around 900 million. Give the poor guy a break.
He, along with Fleetwood Mac, Pink Fayg, Mellonhead, and the other commies, as there song comes across satellite radio, within a millisecond the channel is changed.
If not then close enough!!
LOL. His kids attended $60K/year private schools their whole lives. The guy owns a 300 acre horse farm in New Jersey. His daughter won a silver at Tokyo Olympics Team Jumping and is an expert in dressage who has world champions as private coaches.
Springsteen probably spends $500K a year on stable fees and training alone.
Dudge might not be a billionare, but he’s close - and he’s acting like old English nobility.
Like his idol — Heels-Up.
He’s not a singer either.
Brooth
Have to give full disclosure. I can’t stand Springsteen and have never even bought one record (despite thousands by others).
Good early 1970s quote. Only one album by Bruce.
Bob Dylan was in a restaurant booth as he saw the young Bruce Springsteen making his way down the aisle. He put out his hand as he went by.
“They tell me you’re the new me. Well, I’m already me so you had better start being you.”
I’ll bet Diddy diddhim, just like DiCaprio...
“Are you going to sleep well knowing that the nuclear codes have been given to Donald Trump?”
He already had them before. And you seem to have slept well the past almost 4 years knowing the nuclear codes were given to a senile dementia patient.
I hope that he leaves the country with a few million of his devoted fans.
