Bruce Springsteen had a good year!
Bruce Springsteen is the highest-earning musician of 2021, with Jay-Z and Kanye behind him.
Bruce Springsteen , is an American singer , musician , and songwriter.
Often nicknamed The Boss , Springsteen is widely known for his work with the E Street Band and is considered for one of the most successful artists in rock music. He sold exceeding 64.5 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million worldwide. This is a record only surpassed by The Beatles and Jay-Z.
Last year was big success for Bruce Springsteen (72)and you probably ask why. Bruce sold his discography to Sony Music for a staggering $ 550 million, making the biggest sale of its kind ever made by a musician.
Sony is officially the owner of Springsteen's 20 albums and his classics such as 'Born to Run', 'The River' and 'Born in the USA'. Bob Dylan, Blondie, and David Bowie had a similar contract before him.
The news came out that the musician had established a $ 500 million contract, but Forbes editor Zack O’Malley Greenburg said Springsteen’s value had been raised to $ 550 million. Springsteen’s Broadway performance last summer and two collaborative projects with former U.S. President Barack Obama allowed the musician to earn most of the remaining $ 40 million in 2021.
Second place went to music producer and rapper Jay-Z (52) with an incredible $ 470 million. Most of his earnings came from the sale of his own stakes in Tidal for $ 302 million to Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.
On the third place is Guitarist Paul Simon, 80, followed by Kanye West, Ryan Tedder, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lindsey Buckingham, Mötley Crüe, Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift.
Recall, the daughter of rock legend and America’s riding champion achieved another dream. The middle Springsteen daughter has been given a chance of life to travel to Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but they were initially postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Jessica thus joined the American national team, which also includes Kent Farrington, Laura Kraut, and McLain Ward.
Jessica studied psychology at Duke University and has always stressed that she doesn’t want the public to know her solely as the daughter of the famous Bruce Springsteen.
“She always said she didn’t want to be known only as the daughter of Bruce Springsteen. She wanted to leave her mark and is well on her way. Thanks to her talent, she is one of the most promising in her category,” the legendary American rider gold medalist at the 1984 Olympics Melanie Smith Taylor said of her successor.
Jessica has been riding since she was four, and fell in love with horses at the family’s ‘Stone Hill Farm’ in New Jersey. Two years later, at just six years old, she got her first pony with which she started winning medals.
