The Boss sells out for half a billions dollars

JIBBBY · 12-16-21, 07:12 PM

Half a billion dollars and not billions dollars in my title start error. No way to edit that.

True, he was worth just a little over half a billion dollars before this deal. Now he is a legit billionaire.

He doubled his net worth over night with this deal with SONY. https://filmysiyappa.com/bruce-springsteen-net-worth/

I can't blame him as he hasn't had a major hit in years. I would have done the same.

Bruce Springsteen sells his entire music catalogue for $500m

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59680797

The star follows in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Blondie by cashing in on his songs.

I’m not sure why he did it. However, he was worth 500 million before this. Still a major draw whenever he tours, even at his age. So I guess he’s is a billionaire.
It seems like a lot of these older musicians have done the same thing.

He's always been a sell out. No surprise here.

Bruce, is that you?

ChuckyTheGoat · 12-16-21, 07:53 PM

What could POSSIBLY be in that collection to make it worth $500Mill?

If I'm Bruce...I'd sell it, too.

Bruce Springsteen says he’ll move to Australia if Donald Trump wins second term

Congrats to him.

Dont know if I know anybody under the age of 40 who could name more than 3 of his songs.

thetrinity · 12-16-21, 09:31 PM

Almost 40 I know 1 song

JIBBBY · 12-16-21, 09:56 PM

I'm on fire was probably my favorite song by Bruce back in the day.

I've met Bruce in real life and he seemed cool to me even though he's a frigg'n full blown liberal fool.

He worked out at the same gym (Hollywood Gym) I did probably 20 years ago and I'd see him almost daily as we'd hit the gym at the same times in the morning. He liked to lift weights that's for sure. Short little guy though, quiet type in real life.

TheMoneyShot · 12-17-21, 12:46 AM

I remember my 5th grade science teacher was so into him. I think she was wet while she was reading to us from the podium. Wouldn't stop talking about Bruce.

gauchojake · 12-17-21, 01:02 AM

Tramps like us

Baby we were born to run

Bluehorseshoe · 12-17-21, 12:15 PM

Dude is in his 70's. Why not?

gauchojake · 12-17-21, 12:34 PM

Ironically he made NFT's of all of his music and is now a trillionaire

SFO

JIBBBY · 12-17-21, 12:45 PM

Dancing in the dark was probably his greatest hit. That or Born in the USA. Made that chicks acting career with that MTV music video. Courtney Cox. A little trivia for ya.

She then made it big on the tv show FRIENDS.

gauchojake · 12-17-21, 12:47 PM

BRO I ALREADY TOLD WHAT THE BEST SONG WAS AND IT WASN'T ANY OF THOSE

"Baby we were born to run" was very solid. So was "Pink Cadillac" his early stuff.

big joe 1212 · 12-17-21, 01:07 PM

How much in taxes is he paying for this half billion?

manny24 · 12-17-21, 02:04 PM

DiggityDaggityDo · 12-17-21, 02:19 PM

That’s a lot of hoagies and tomato pies

packerd_00 · 12-17-21, 03:09 PM

Billy Idol is gonna be looking to cleanup I bet.

Smokey McPot · 12-17-21, 03:42 PM

Guy has been little more than a far left political activist for years now, hopefully he just goes away.

I don't think he was ever patriotic

texhooper · 12-17-21, 03:51 PM

Mistaken as patriotic for a few decades before people realized the actual meaning behind born in the USA

Easy-Rider 66 · 12-17-21, 03:52 PM

The Boss is a poet. He is the Man. Great songwriter/singer. Good for him.

Billionaires don't pay taxes in America you know that. Just ask Jeff Bazos and Elon Musk.

Sure you have. Streets of Philly was probably his last big hit.

MinnesotaFats · 12-17-21, 04:04 PM

So who's musical catalog & writings are worth the most?

If I had to bet I'd say Van Morrison could get $1bb for all rights

that ain't no hit

guy never had a no 1 song. He was good for little niche of an audience but he wasn't geared towards creating mainstream hits. did amazingly well making music that he really believed in.

I heard he was/is amazing in concert. never saw him.

I liked his album that had songs surrounding 9-11. can't remember the names of any of the songs right now... that kind of sums up his music
