The deal encompassed both his songwriting and recordings, marking a significant financial move for the 20-time Grammy winner.

In addition to his catalog sale, Springsteen has amassed a substantial fortune through extensive global touring.

Last year alone, he sold over 1.6 million concert tickets, resulting in a revenue of $380 million, according to Variety.

Throughout his illustrious journey, he has released 21 studio albums, 23 live albums, 77 singles, and 66 music videos.

According to the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA), he has sold an impressive 65.5 million albums in the United States alone.
