"Because I had money, I was a bit of an outcast in the neighborhood," Springsteen recalls.

Deliver Me From NowhereIn the book, which focuses on Springsteen during the making of his sixth album, "NEBRASKA," released in 1982, he describes that time as "a struggle with being distanced from the people who were close to me in the environment I grew up in, and from the people I had corresponded with by letter." Although he never adapted to a

life of extravagance, the fortune he has amassed over his more than 60-year musical career, singing about the blue-collar people of his own background, is considerable. According to Forbes' estimates, his net worth is at least $1.1 billion (approximately 173 billion yen). Even at 74 years old, he still goes on tour and sings three-hour shows. Always speaking for the working class, he continues to play guitar for fans around the world and remains energetic.
