Bruce Springsteen is reportedly putting up big negotiations for the sale of his recorded music and publishing catalogs that are estimated to be worth between $330M and $415M combined. Sources say the rocker is seeking more than $350M for both.
As one of the most popular musicians in rock history, Springsteen has sold more than 65 million albums in the US alone, which is a clear explanation for the supersized figures. His Born in the U.S.A. album is 15-times platinum, his Born to Run album is six-times platinum, and his The River album is five-times platinum.
A deal is currently being discussed with Sony, though the details are unclear. If the Boss does end up making the big-time sale, he will join a long list of music legends who have also sold catalogs and publishing rights for large sums, lime Neil Young, Bob Dylan, David Crosby, Stevie Nicks, Journey, and Nikki Sixx.
